Chennai 3rd Branch


Today we attended the Chennai 3rd branch for the second time. We returned to familiar faces from both this area and Rising Star. We were uplifted by the faith and testimonies of the saints in this area. Last week a young man gave his farewell talk before entering the mission field and this week his brother gave his homecoming talk. They both have a solid understanding of the Gospel and a deep love for the people they know and serve. We were particularly moved by a young father named Gopi, who is in the Sunday school presidency, who spoke of the struggles he has had and the blessings he’s received. He has one young son and hopes to have four more children as soon as his wife is done with her studies. He told us he is planning on coming to the Salt Lake temple (the first temple he will have attended) next May. We knew him for only a few hours in two weeks, yet we already love him and are happy that he will be able to attend the temple with his family and be sealed together.
