This week I finally decided
to give up on trying to create an American Style Hamburger. We had some
pretty bad meat, and it wasn't nice to me. I am finally deciding to
throw in the towel and just accept that it cannot be done. I will now
wait patiently for a real American Cheeseburger. But that's pretty much
how my week went, well besides finding for so many hours in the Indian
sunshine. It is so hot, and humid, and I am covered in sweat from the
second I get outside each morning. It's hard to even dry off after a
shower, I'm just always wet.
This week our
finding efforts were very successful, but we are struggling to get
people to attend sacrament meeting. For some it's a pretty big sacrifice
to give up the time and money to travel to church for 3 hours on a
Sunday morning, we just have to keep looking with faith for those
Heavenly Father has prepared.
Life is good
here in India. This week we get to hear from the Prophet and Elder
Holland who are visiting Bangalore. They will visit Bangalore and Skype
all of us here in the Delhi mission. We will travel from Mumbai to Delhi
to have a mission conference and then listen to President Nelson and
then come back. I love being here in Mumbai, it's such a great
experience, but since coming here I have realized how much I loved
Delhi. It really is my home. I am excited to go back even for just a
day.
I have learned from my mission that it is
so important to follow the teachings of the prophets. What a miracle it
is to have a prophet in our day and to be able to receive guidance and
counsel from him so easily, at the blink of an eye we can access all of
their teachings and apply them in our lives. I am excited to do that
this week and I hope we all make following the Prophet a pattern in our
lives. President Nelson is called of God, and is the Lord's chosen
servant to lead us to safety in these days. I promise you will never go
astray if you follow his counsels.
Love,
Elder Armstrong
