Another great week in India

hey everyone. whats up? well i had another really good week. we had the baptism for vani and i was so excited to see her finally get baptised. and the font was actually full this time. haha. the branch pres baptised her and it was so good to see her and her family be so happy. oh ya and the bike fund got emptied this week also. haha. so we have been riding cycles more because it feels better on e korrayyas leg and i have been teaching him how to jump and do wheelies. haha. so every speed bump he tries to jump and we have a really good time. but this time i was really gonna try and go big. well you could say i went big i guess for a speed bump but i went high enough that when i landed the axel snapped and my peddle went flying. haha. so i had to take it in to get it fixed it was like 100rs! but when e korrayya rode up to me he said " oh man so big that one!" hahai also had a pretty cool experience on saturday. we were finding and we stopped to talk to this guy playing volley ball and asked if he knew any chrisians around and he was like ya i can get a bunch right now. he went and got like 25 kids and we taught them in this small school type thing. they want us to come every saturday and this week the guy said he would get even more. so hopefully we can get some good investigators from that. if not at least we might have planted a seed with the little kids and they will remember the missionaries in the future. kgf is really struggling to have priesthood. so we have be really trying to find brothers. it hasnt went so well until the other night we were at a small shop near our home and i was waiting for my comps to finish buying stuff and i felt like i should go around the corner. so i did and ther were 8 or 9 kids sitting there about 19 or 20yrs and they are very interested and said they wanted to come to our church befor i even invited them. so my prayers are really being answered. we found 16 new investigators last week too so im really excited.im in bangalore right now because we have district meeting tomorrow and we wanted to come early so we could have some good fun on p day. we went bowling! it was funny cuz it was the first time elder korrayya has ever been in his life. its crazy how different the world is.but im doing great! i love it here. i know that what im doing is the only thing i should be doing. i know that the church is true and im learning so many things about this gospel. i have really started to apreciate what joseph smith did for the church and i love learning about him. i got to watch a video from some talk pres monson gave and i felt the spirit so strong. i feel so lucky to know that there is a living prophet. anyways i hope all is well back home. thanks for everyones support and prayerslove elder barr
