Hello all!
The week was a little slow for us because most of our investigators are out of town right now. I guess school is starting next week so everybody decided to go and enjoy nicely before school gets going again. We're continuing to do our best and rely on the Lord in our work!
Elder Ball and I are having a good time. Sometimes when we travel in crowded buses, we like to speak to each other in Tagalog so only we can understand. People always give us funny looks and try to understand what we are saying but have no idea what's going on. People just get so confused when they see us which makes it really easy to talk to them and share the gospel. Often, they will even start the conversation for us! They usually get our attention and ask us why in the world two tall white guys are cruising around Bangalore in a sweaty government bus. We have a really fun time with the people here. We're trying to pick up a little bit of the Tamil language so we can impress the older people that don't know any English and get them to laugh a bit.
Here's a few pictures from our week.
A view from the area. That bridge in the distance is a major landmark in Bangalore because there's a train station there. It's always extremely crowded with people and traffic.
This is our apartment complex at night. I stand out on the balcony during my daily follow up calls and enjoy the view.
The highlight of the week was getting the chance to see my good friend Krishna once again! He was baptized right after I left Bangalore and we have kept in pretty close contact.
