District Conference in Hyderabad

Apostle D. Todd Christofferson and his wife were with us at the conference. Pres Hollstrom (Asia Area President and a member of the Seventy's) and his wife were also with us. It was great to spend time with them and be taught by an apostle.
Most of the people in the photo are part of the choir and wanted this photo to happen. Others joined us just because when a camera comes out everyone wants in the picture. Kneeling by Pres. Hollstrom is Rajev and by Elder Christofferson is Swaroop. You'll hear me talk about them in our emails. Also to my right is Shilpa. She directed the choir and was scared because there is so much she doesn't know. She is a fast learner and takes direction. It was so fun to help her and she did a great job. By Shilpa is Mahesh! He's the one who called me for Mother's Day to make sure I was having a good day and to wish me Happy Mother's Day. He is 20 years old and the best athlete here. He also loves to sing and said, "Sister how am I performing?" He wanted to make sure he was singing to make the choir a good choir!! Then he would ask what time practice would be. If I said 9 a.m....he would say, "Sister, I'll be here by 6 a.m." He wanted to show his enthusiams for being part of the choir. This is one of many individual stories I could share!
To Shilpa's left is Sarisha. We love Sarisha and love to spend time with her. She wants so badly to come to the USA. She serves as Primary president. 28 and single. Next to Sarisha is Saritha. I teach her piano and I really love her! She is one of my most promising students. She's married and has 2 children. Her little boy is Kolab. (like the song)
Karthikey is standing on your right by the wall....tall in a white shirt. He also takes piano. He likes my food and wants all my recipes. Everytime I see him he wants to know if I've brought him another recipe. He is only 20 and teaches early morning seminary. Hema is in pink kneeling in front. She is such a fun person and I like spending time with her.
Mary is in blue right behind Elder and Sister Hollstrom. She's the one who checks out what I am wearing and tells me if I don't look good or if she likes what I'm wearing or not!!! I love her! Her real name is Fatima.
Shaker Bodu is Mahesh's brother. He loved the choir so much that he would sing the songs on the volleyball court! He would sing and then hit the ball and then sing and etc!!! He is married to Vani in purple just in front of him.
I could tell you more about these people but that's probably enough for now! You gotta love them cause I do!!!
