Hey Family,
 Me and Elder Karkala, My New Companion | ||

This week was one to remember that's
for sure. One year down and officially on the countdown, I am so scared that it
will be here before I'm ready to go home. But we had a lot of fun celebrating
my year mark and we had a big dinner with tons of chicken and thums up! I have
some really great friends here in India and I was so happy I got to celebrate
with them! I also got to share it with my MTC companion Eder Stephens. We live in the apartment together. It’s great and of course burning my shirt was
awesome.

This week was extremely hot...triple
digits everyday now, and there honestly is no trick or tip to beating the heat.
You just endure it. You can't do anything else, and it gets easier if you focus
on something else. We have AC in our new apartment, way better than Noida, and
it's a really nice apartment, but right now we are having water problems. Our water pump isn’t working and I haven't
showered in two days. We have to walk to
the church to use the washroom. It's crazy and we hope it gets fixed soon, but
it may be a few more days before I take a shower again.
The work I get to do now as a zone
leader has increased and has kept me busy, which is nice, the days go by
quicker and you feel good when you are working. We also had a baptism yesterday
for a kid named Aman. He is 18 years old and he was taught by Elder Karkala
last transfer and I just kind of walked into the baptism, but he is a good kid
and I have had fun teaching him the few follow up lessons. We also tease
Elder Karkala that he is the cleanest in the apartment since he got to do the
baptism and we have no water.

Not much other news this week, just
enjoying my mission and doing my best to help people. Not everyone will accept
the gospel, but I just follow the Savior and "Go about Doing Good" I
feel like that's something all of us can emulate from our Greatest Exemplar. We
may not be the best at everything and we may not have the strongest testimonies
in the world, but we all know the difference between right and wrong. So go
about doing good! You will be blessed
for simply being a good person and you will feel the Love of Christ grow in
you.
Love,
Elder Armstrong
