This weeks been good.
We were asked to prepare a 8 year old child of record named Varsha. She is the a really crazy and fun little girl. We had been preparing her for Saturday. Saturday morning came around and we called the Branch President to make sure he had interviewed her and arranged for someone to fill up the font. To our surprise he was expecting us to call him to let him know when to interview her and expected us to set up the entire baptism with the branch mission leader who we haven't been able to meet with in the last 5 weeks. We realized no one had done anything to prepare for the baptism that day. We quickly called a returning member, Brother Morris, who we planned on seeing that morning and asked if we could meet at the church and if he could fill the fount so we don't have to cancel all of our appointments for that day. He agreed. We did our studies and went to the church where we met with Brother Morris, cleaned the fount, made sure there were clean baptismal suits and assigned talks. By the time the baptism came around, everyone was on time and everything went perfectly. I learned how important having good communication with the Branch is and why we need Branch mission leaders.
We have been trying to help Ravendra's family come to church with him. They are very good at supporting him and helping him come but they never stay. They keep promising us they will be there each Sunday but never come.
Prakesh is doing great and never misses church. He even comes on time each week but we are having no luck with his parents. They still think he is too young to be baptized and needs too wait until he gets older.
We fasted with Sister Allison this Sunday so that she could get Saturday nights/Sunday mornings off so she can come to church and we are working with Sister Ackleema to help her become more self reliant in coming to church by giving her numbers of members who can pick her up rather then setting up rides for her. Anyways I think that's a decent update.
