Kaden's Doing Great In Hyderabad

hey amma and appa, im going to write you both together. im trying to be quicker at mailing cuz my comp doesnt really have anyone to write. imglad my parents know how to use computers. haha. but anyways its been another great week. we had a good sunday and our investigators are coming to church. so i cant complain about that. selvums fam were all ready and about to come to church but they got a call that his little bro was in the hospital in a koma. so they werent able to come to church wich is understandable. i called pres and he said they can still be baptized this sunday. but i dont know if we can get them interviewed and all that in time. deaths in india are a big deal. they have the funeral then a 3rd day 10th day and who knows how many other day functions. its kind of sad actually because it takes over there life for over a month. last week we got a call that one of our branch members fathers died and they were having the service so we dropped what we were doing and went there. the people were screaming and crying the whole time. it was hard to see people that upset but it made me apreciate the plan of salvation that much more. even though i teach it several times a week to people im still thankfull to know that if im obedient to the principals of the gospel i will get to live with my family again. but many of those people screaming and crying probably dont know they will get to see there family again. anyways selvums fam is still doing good and i know that the Lord is keeping them prepared for the gospel.
thats cool pres wrote you guys. he is a great guy and great leader. i look up to him a lot. its been great to be around him the lintons and many other sr couple becasue thery are all very successfull. and im trying to soak up as much knowlege i can from them.
k mom im gonna try and answer your questions cu last week i was thinking and i remembered a bunch of questions dad asked and was like man im just like todd was... never answering the questions. haha. so dad we have 8 in our dist when the zone leaders are there we all live in seperate flats, but usually on sudays we go to someones apartment and cook up some nice curries or somthing. haha. each one of us have one american and one native in our companionship. just like a giant oreo sandwich. haha. but we have a lot of fun together so its cool. we usually do stuff on p day. nothing special though. ping pong or just chill. and about the shirts mom. all short sleeve!!!! were sweating our you know whats off over here. haha. 6 or 7 probably. and the stafford ones are good. the thinner material. i think these are 161/2 necks. whatever you send is fine.
im way happy to hear that todd and katie are getting sealed! i was expecting to hear they were prego because of the titles of your letters but nope even better. i cant wait to go to the temple again. being so far from a temple will make you realize how special it is. but im happy for them. you guys are a awesome example to all of us and seeing your happieness make others want the same and i know thats why todd was able to make it. your examples is one of the reasons im on my mission so thanks for being who you are. i read a scripture this morning form the bible i think in 1 cor that paul said i am what i am. basically saying im not perfect but i am what i am. i know you guys arent perfect but you are what you are and the people you are have raised a great family and been a great example to all those around you. so thanks and know that i love you both.

oh and mom i was going to ask if you could shrink the gospel art book a little bit. it barely fits in my bag and gets beat up. there might be copywrite rules but if you can it would be tight. thanks.



hey mom, what up. sounds like you had a good halloween. i forgot it was halloween until i was following up with the district leader and he said happy halloween. haha. but dad said you and sis bailed him out for the ward party thing. haha. i would agree with him and say i dont know how he got so lucky to get you. haha. nae looked way cute in her chudidar and lil kambri is a cutie.
anyways i have been in the FRO trying to extend my residential permit all day so i gotta be fast. i dont know why they always pick wednesday to make us go there. its an unorganized circus. but oh well. this week has been really good. unfortunately selvums children had exams on sunday and couldnt come to church so they have to have it postponed. selvum and his wife said they still want to do it this week but i feel its best to wait for the full family. thats what the gospel is all about right. but i always hate to see delays becasue satan throws out all he has. but im sure everything will be just fine. so this week we went to a area i had never been to because we got a referal from a new member(prabacher) who wants us to teach his wife. and as we were walking down a long busy road not really knowing where to got. this little kid about 11 came and said hi where are you going and we told him and he was like okay ill take you cuz i live right there. so we went and he showed us the place and he said my house is right there. but we just went to the appointment and didnt really think much of it. a few days later we were going to prabachers and they had some stuff come up at church and couldnt make it in time. so we were walking back and that same little kid was there and i thought hey maybe we could go to his house. to make a long story short he took us to his home. he Mervin his mother SriLatha and elder brother vipen speak great english his father vankatesh is a cab driver, but they were awesome and the spirit was very strong in the lesson and we set them that night. they came on sunday to church too! so im very excited for that family now also. its still amazing to me how the spirit works and directs us to people and people to us. it truly is his work and we are the ones who get to help. and there is no doubt in my mind that this is his work and im greatful to have the privilage to be a part of it.
anyways thanks for your letter mom. i liked GC too and how they talked about love the whole time. thanks for all you do because i know you are the one who is always behind the scenes and doesnt get the credit. but know that i look up to you and love you!!
