Another great week in KGF

hey what up everyone? i hope your all doing well. i had a really good week this week. it was a lot of fun being with e korrayya for a while and now with my new comp elder satyadi. hes a stud. we have had an awesome week together and already become great friends. he is from rajamundry and is 24yrs old. he has a pretty cool story. when he was 13 i decided he wanted to go to church because some elders talked to him on the street. he only spoke tellagu. but he went anyways and felt the spirit. he continued to go every sunday and learned how to read and speak english only from reading the book of mormon. i cant even imagine teaching myself tellagu. so he doesnt speak great english and doesnt always understand the scriptures but it doesnt matter because he is learning and is probably one of the nicest and most humble people i have met. he wouldnt hurt a fly. haha. hes been out for about one year. but we have a great time teaching together and just getting to know one another. having unity is so important in teaching and i already feel like were united so thats good. i think we can teach each other a lot so im excited to have a new compainion who loves to work hard.so i dont know if i have told you about an investigator named prabu but he is the guy who rounds up like 30 people and we teach them. we stopped teaching so many people at once because we were having to translat the whole time. anyways we invited prabu and some of his other english speaking friends to come to church and on sunday he came with 9 other guys and they stayed for all the meetings and loved it. i was so excited to have that many people come. we had an appointment cancel 2 days back and were near his home so we thought we would stop by and say hi. when we got there he was playing volleyball with those same guys who came to church so we went over and they told us to come play. we played for like an hour. i had a great time playing and jumping around. i already dont move like i used to. haha it felt weird playing in church clothes but it was really good and we became much closer to all of them and they were talking about how they enjoyed church and they will definately be coming this week. i hope it works out. but were finding many and teaching many every day. some days we go from house to house jsut teaching and teaching. the people have great understanding and love the message and even sometimes say they already know its true but when you invite them to come to church they say well ill be going to my church at that time and my paster will scold me if i dont come. so its hard to see people like that sometimes. but i know the lord has a plan for each of them and will lead us to those elect people. my testimony grows every day seeing how the pople live here and still are so humble. i met a little dwarf girl like 7 or 8 years old. i called her to come over to me and she came and with a big smile said hi my name is tabita in perfect english. i was so surprised and talked to her and her mother for a min and gave them a picture of Jesus and the little girl hugged and kissed it and was so happy. but it touched me to see how happy she was even though she has a disabillity and i hope some day when the gospel comes in native language they can teach her family. but i love it here in kgf. and feel blessed to serve here.anyways im doing great! i love you all. have a good weekelder barr
