A Spiritual Fireside in Kolar Gold Fields - August 14, 2017


Hello, My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
How are you all?
We are having a pleasant weather here in KGF this week. It is raining here some days of weeks.


Last week we conducted missionary fireside and our Fireside's theme was 'Called to Serve'. The preparation for this fireside was from us missionaries and our BML (branch mission leader). We went to each member’s (Active, Less-Active home, Part members) home and invited them for Fireside.  As a result of our preparation, the fire side was a huge success. Our Branch president was very happy with the fireside. We showed the video of Called to Serve" and led a small discussion about the video.  After that in second section, we divided the members into Three groups and directed them to three different rooms where we were had prepared 3 workshops.

Group 1 room -  President and his wife talked about the Eternal families .
Group 2 room -  one return missionary talked about the Restoration
Group 3 room -  My companion and I talked about Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Branch President remarked while returning from the fireside, “Rombo nalarka fireside, Elders” which means Very good fireside.
He said last time fireside they held a fireside there was only games but this time fireside is full of Spiritual things.

So one miracle that happen in the fireside was one young man walked into fireside. Before this time, he said, he had come to the church 5 years ago and had not returned until coming to this fireside.   I asked him who invited him and his surprising response was - No one invited him and he came by himself.

He has a limited English and we visited his family and met his mother and sister who don't speak English. So, we are now slowly teaching their family. His family is Poor but very humble. He even came to church last week. But he missed church this week.
We were also able to celebrate the marriage anniversary of one couple member who are Differently able people (they both cannot speak and hear) by having them cut a cake for their anniversary.

Love,
Elder Shrestha.
