hey everyone! whats up? i had another great week and i cant believe it has already been a week. haha. we were busy teaching and finding new investigators. its alot diferent finding here than in kgf. kgf was over 50% christian which mad it nice for finding because we only knock christian doors. but her in hyderabad there is a big muslim population and its almost imposible to teach and baptize them because if there family finds out they will kill them. literally. its sad to think that there are people like that in this world but thats how it is. thats what makes the plan of salvation so great! that everyone will get a fair opportunity to hear this great gospel and choose for themselves. anyways sometimes we will walk 15 to 20 km a day and only see a few christian doors. we set a few pople for baptism this week. revinder and mahepaul. they have a cousin who is a member and they came to church last week. they doesnt speak english really but we are helping them. so hopefully we can teach them and help them learn english so they can be baptized. the branch here really wanst to help misionaries and to help the work. its great to see that truely no matter where you live in the world the gospel is the same and is ran strait from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. yesterday i went on exchanges but my comp was sick and in bed all day. i didnt know what to do. i was like where is ESPN when i need it! haha. but it was good because i read the whole book "our search for happiness". wich is pretty crazy cuz ive never read a full book in my life let alone in one day. haha. but being locked inside all day made me realize that even a long day of knocking doors and getting shut down is better than being inside. haha. we may be having a baptism on sunday for a kid that we started teaching named mahesh. but he doesnt have a cell phone and its looking like we might need to wait one more week. but im excited to teach him and his little sister priyanka who is 17, they both love to read the book of mormon. and anyone who does that will know its true. but i hope everything is well back home. i love serving and teaching the people in india. love you.elder barr
