Happy Birthday Kaden

hey! well i had a great week. thanks for all the letters i got from everyone. i had a great week this last week. i dont even know where to begin?.. we have been working with a bunch of guys they are in 3 different groups but there are probably like 25 that were teaching and on sunday elder satyadi and i had 17 of them come to church!!! a big change from the 0 we had the week before. the lord truly answered our prayers. we are working with members and have recieved more referals and having more members come on exchange. it really helps a lot when they come and i feel like the investigators have a lot more potential. we set 5 people for baptism this week also so hopefully they can go through within the coming months. so great things are happening in kgf and also in india as a whole.i had a great birthday too. haha i really almost forgot and if it wasnt for some members calling me in the morning i dont know if i would have. its crazy to think im twenty now. haha. im startting to look more and more like my dad every day. and the piles of rice i eat every day are probably why. haha just kiddin dad. but it was just a normal day finding and teaching. on the way to one appointment we had kinda a bad experience. we were just riding along and i heard some skidding and then bang. 2 guys on a motorcycle hit a little kid probably 6 years old and they went flying and the bike almost hit me. so hear i am and theres 3 people out cold on the street so i dropped my bike and ran to the kid and he was breathing so i ran to the driver and he wasnt. he had some cuts on his face. so i was trying to get him to respond and then he finally started breathing by this time some people had gathered around me and i had them help me roll him over and i saw that his head was really bad. ambulences dont really come so we stopped an auto and some people put him inside. but i dont think he made it. the bad thing is is he was drinking too. i just hope the little kid is okay.so that was kinda hard to deal with but then we were planning on teaching Vani. a sister we baptized a month or so back. when i got there they had a suprize party. the 2nd counciler and his family decorated there home and had cake. the popped balloons full of spaghetti all over me. it was pretty funny. its indian culture for whoever party it is they cut the cake so after they sang happy bday indian style. haha i gut the cake. its also custom for the people to feed you i guess it shows there love for you. i felt kinda awkward but oh well. they also rubbed the cake all over my face and they all had a good time. pres zion johns family truly are like my family away from home. they fed us chicken byriani and i think i ate more chicken in 20 min than in 2 months. they dont take no im so full for an answer. but i really had a good day. i dont like all the attention but they definatly made my day special.anyways im so happy these last weeks and have felt the lords help more than ever. hope all is well back home. im doing great and couldnt be more happylove elder barr
