My oh my what a beautiful week 08/10/18

Hey hey!

Parrul, Sanjay's wife was never able to understand us when we spoke in English whenever we've been there but suddenly just a couple of days ago she has been able to understand everything we teach with such a deep understanding. She's now able to be an example to her husband who would usually have to translate and teach her. It's a miracle. 

We went to their house for dinner on Sunday with the Smith's and their daughter who's visiting from America (her name is also Sister Watts!). When I last visited them I wasn't with Sister Ramu as we were on exchange and so when he saw her again he told her that I taught very well last time as I spoke very slow, loud, clearly and simply for him to understand. I have to be very conscious of how I say things here otherwise no one can understand my accent. I mean they still can't sometimes but just a little better than normal i guess. Anyway, in the lesson I kinda felt like I was repeating myself but hey it worked and it just proves that the spirit is the true teacher and shares exactly what they need to hear.

We were teaching a lesson to these new people we're teaching named James and Marylene. It got to the point where we were teaching about the apostasy while explaining the Restoration and then all the power suddenly went out and it was pitch black. We were like this is perfect, this is what the apostasy was like when the truth was no longer on the earth and the world was in spiritual darkness! 

We went to teach them again and this time they gave us biscuits and Fanta. While we were having it, they did something I've never seen before! They dipped the biscuit into the Fanta! I was like what is this a thing? Apparently, everyone does it. I tried it and it's not too bad, just a little weird. Plus, unlike cookies and milk where you get crumbs in the bottom of the cup, any crumbs that get in the cup the Fanta just dissolves it!

Blessings! It was at the end of the day and we were at our last appointment before going home and I was so tired and hungry! Then Maria who we were visiting comes out with this cake and lassi (Milk/curd drink which is everywhere in lots of different flavors) for us! It was exactly what I needed! 

Sister Ramu got a phone call on Saturday and the person was like is this Sister Ramu, my names Aastha and I’m at the church. We were both super confused and had no idea who she was, but we went to find out. Apparently, she had gotten one of our English fliers and looked up our church on Facebook and so she decided to go and visit the address of the church. She spoke to the security guard there and that's how she got Sister Ramu's name and our number. She's golden! She's so interested in learning everything about our church and wants to be baptised and become a Sister missionary like us. We are so blessed to have a person so ready to receive the gospel find us.

On Sunday we got a phone call from someone we've never met but who's number is saved in our phone from past missionaries more than a year ago! We went to visit Satish after church and we found out that someone had borrowed a lot of money from him and isn't returning it to him, so he thought to call us just so we could pray for him. He's this sweet young University student living by himself and we are so thankful that he remembered the missionaries so that we are able to now share this beautiful message of the gospel with him!

I felt and experienced so many blessings and miracles this week. It has been a very tiring but a very rewarding week!

Love Sister Watts
