Brother Geddam and The Vipparthi Family

Elder Lee is still recuperating from pneumonia, 

so we filled in for him and Sister Lee at Patron Housing and gave an orientation for 

Brother Geddam and the Vipparthi Family.

 They are here this week from India.

 Sudhakar Geddam joined the church 3 1/2 years ago,

and has come to receive his own endowment.

He is a remarkable guy and has quite a story to tell. 

 He speaks 9 languages.  He is also a boxing champion.

Wish there had been more time to hear more of his life story.

He did tell us that Brother Prathi is now his Branch President, and he said to say, 'hello'.

We met the Prathis shortly after our mission began, when they came to be sealed.

 Elder Bodily got a High-five from Jasher with a little help from his dad.

The Vipparthi Family are now a sealed family for time and eternity.

The timing worked for me to attend their sealing. 

 Unfortunately, 

Elder Bodily was not able to because he was home feeling miserable with the flu.
