April '10 Week 3

HOLA FAMILY!
Well Things are great here, mom it sounds like you had a good time at Conclave, I am really happy that was fun, but I am sorry about the Gopher, at least its not one of the Rats here in India, they are as big as house cats, I almost kicked one the other day that was trying to get into our gate at home, but it ran away!! they are NASTY!! sometimes I wish I had a hand gun and I could just POP them as we drive down the road.
Hey so I Have a cool experience that happened this week, as we where out "Finding" and just Knocking on doors, it was about 8:15 and we had a half an hour to travel to get into our apartment, we also had just been canceled on, so we thought we would go and see a family that we had met a while back, but as we where walking down the road, we noticed that we where too far from there house, and that it was behind us, but as we where talking about it, we felt like we should just keep walking and searching, and all of a sudden this brother starts talking to us, we offer to share our message with him, and he invites us to his home. When we got to his home, we found out that his wife had studied in a Christian school, Her husband was hindu, but he was very interested in hearing about how his family could learn to be happier, and he wanted a way to raise his children in a proper way so that they would not end up like everybody else. As we sat down with them we shared about prayer, and Sister Lila (the mother) just started to ask some really good questions, so we offered to come back later and answer them. The next time that we came they had had Family prayer every night, and where really excited to ask their questions, which where about how they could get an answer to their prayers, and who was the Holy Ghost, and why was he so important, and then they asked the Most Important Question... why is your church different from all of the rest? and it was so great, we just unfolded the restoration on them, and they where so happy, and excited, they even asked us for a book of Mormon before we could give it to them. The spirit was just so strong with them, so we are really praying hard for them. They are so awesome!.. well I am glad to hear the your doing good, just take care of your selves, I know life gets tuff, but I promise that its worth it.
I know that the lord lives and I know that his son Jesus Christ Atoned for our sins, that he was resurrected and that he and Our heavenly father appeared to Joseph smith 200 years ago. I know that the truest happiness is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that through the Wonderful plan of our Heavenly father we can be together for Eternity as we work out our own salvation. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of god. I know that the lord has called and chosen Living servants today. I am so grateful that we are able to listen to his words today.
I love you all and am always praying for you.
Love,
Elder Colton Frederick
