Expect the Unexpected

As many of you know, we were called to be "Public Affairs" missionaries for the Bengaluru, India and Sri Lanka Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here in India, it is actually called the India Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

After we had been here just a few days, Elder and Sister Hansen, the Mission Office couple, had some family emergencies and had to go home. So, we have been asked to temporarily fill in and help in the Mission Office. We will still be doing a some public affairs work but that of course will be limited until someone replaces us.

Expect the Unexpected - Our short training in the office began
After a few partial days of training, We said good bye to the Hansens. We had a good time with them during the short time we spent together.

We enjoyed watching all of the preparation and celebration of the Hindu Diwali Festival and Holidays. The festivities look a little like July 4th in the US because they have fireworks and also like Christmas because people put up lights everywhere.







Having a farewell dinner with the Hansens

It's Curry Heaven in India. They recommended Zabardust Chicken and it was amazing. They said the word Zabardust means excellent in Hindi and the Urdu languages.

Visited a mall - A little Panda train entertains children

Back to the office. We love helping in the mission.
