Another great week in India

hey everyone. hows it goin? im sure great. but everything is still going great here in KGF! its hot and i sweat more than i have my whole life. haha. but it rained a couple times and cooled things down a bit. but then it makes it humid so i dont know wich is better. it could be worse some elders here in india are in 115 degree weather all day so i cant complain. haha. but i had a great week. we had many come to church again and were excited for roberts baptism on sunday. he is very excited too. he was a bit nervouse earlier this week but now hes just excited to join the true church. so im really happy to have seen the change he has made in his life to enter into the great waters a baptism. i also had a great experience with a sister selvi that i think i wrote about last week how she had an arranged marrage and is very sad. but this week she came to church and even her husband came and she was soo happy. we have tried to set her for baptism but she said she wanted to wait until all of her family was interested. but we saw her on monday night and she told us she knows she needs to be the example for her family and wants to be baptized on may 24!! i was so excited. so this week i truly saw the power of fasting and prayer. the lord wants to bless all of us but somtimes we just need to do a little bit more and then he he will bless all of us. so i wanted to let everyone know that the Suchi Ruchi place i eat at every day changed to non veg so now i can have some meat here in kgf!! haha jk but on monday the assistants came to go on exchange with us and we went to suchi ruchi and on of the assistants had a nice cockroach in his fried rice. hahaha. so i guess if a cockroach is concidered non veg then suchi ruchi made a nice change.but things are going great here. the future of the church here in kgf is looking better and better and im so happy to serve here. im learning so many things and love the humble people of india. have a great week. and happy mothers day to all you moms and grandmas. love you.elder barr
