Week 58 - Happy Birthday Buddy!

Ramon

Heyyo. This week has been pretty fun. We will for sure have our baptism on Friday of this week. We will have her interview on Thursday. We honestly got told by President that the both of us will be getting transferred. So that's pretty interesting as well. I hope I get transferred up to Tuguegaro South or to Alicia.
Anyways, in other news we had another sister tell us she wanted to be baptized. So that really sucks because there may not be missionaries here next cycle and I'm not sure the members will teach her. So it's really pretty sad that that's happening. We haven't had really any success with less actives at all these 2 cycles, but our recent converts are all doing great. So that's pretty great. Anyways that's about all the news here. Talk to ya'll next week .

Happy B-day buddy! You're our favorite player!

Week 57 - Thanks for the bucks Grandma!

Ramon

Heyo sorry we were busy yesterday we didn't get to email, but I got permission to email today. We are having a great time here! The member are still being a bit crazy. They don't want to have meetings with us or work with us or anything like that. Which is a little disappointing, but it's all good. We have a couple of members that feed us and still talk with us which is nice ^_^ Other than that Jessa had to have her baptismal date moved back because she wasn't able to come to church last week. So on the 26th of this month we'll have her baptismal date.

Also Grandma keeps sending me letters with one dollar bills asking me if I'm receiving them! So you can tell her I am receiving them and tell her thanks, I love her, and give her a kiss for me XD. Other than that, I tried withdrawing from my personal account earlier for my Birthday so we could go out to eat, but it wouldn't let me withdraw, I don't know if you blocked my account or what, so just let me know what's up there! Anyways I love you guys! we only have 15 minutes here so we are out! I'll message next week I promise!

Week 56 - Birthday coming up

Ramon

Hey yo, what's up. Really not a lot happened this week. We are still teaching Jessa. We still plan to get her baptized. My birthday is coming up. Hopefully this one will be better than the last :p I already have a bunch of dinners and lunches lined up. So I guess we'll just see. It's crazy how fast time flies here. I only have 9 more months. It's awesome. After this cycle I only have 6 more cycles. That's insane hahah Other than that, this week is probably gonna be the same as last. Nothing much planned for this week. Same old same old. Anyways ya'll take care this week.

Week 55 - Cade's Baptism and beatin' on Hadley's BF's

Ramon

Hey yoooo what up. SO we did get a new investigator yesterday. She's the cousin of one of the RMs in our ward. We taught her the first lesson at church and extended baptism, so she accepted and we'll be doing that on the 19th of September. So that's awesome that I get another baptism for my birthday:) Everything else is completely fine. All of our RCs are doing just fine, no problems there.

Seriously I'm pretty upset at all the things I'm missing. I miss Cade's baptism and beating up all of Hadley's BFs. When I get home I'm gonna probably end up in jail though XD Throwing punches at lil kids for messing with my sister XP. haha Anyways Take care this week! Love ya'll

Week 54 - We finally got to ear from him.

Ramon

I hope you don't get an ear from me this week. I need both of them XD haha

(We didn't hear from him last week)
Sorry last week we had a district activity and before we realized it, it was already six, so we had to work. E. Manalili and I have one more cycle. I'm guessing I didn't train because there are 13 foreigners and three Filipinos. Next cycle though I'll probably train.

We had our baptism. I'll upload pix in a min. Everything went well, but this ward really sucks at attending and getting set up for baptisms. They are always one or two hours late to baptisms, but it's all goods. The important thing is she got baptized. We have a couple more potential investigators that will probably get baptized, maybe next next week. One of them, her name is Danika, lives super far away and is only in town every Saturday and Sunday. She goes to church every week though, and apparently she's been doing that for awhile. 

Earlier this morning we played ball with our zone. It was pretty fun. Our DL and our ZL is getting transferred though.

Week 52 - Becoming a trainer.

Ramon

I thought I uploaded the pictures :P I guess I didn't.  They aren't on my MC either. I don't know what happened... I'll get copies from Faa. I talked to President about it during our interview last week. He said it was all good, but I need to make sure I want it, and I need to get my Visa fixed ASAP. So it is possible. We normally get our trunky letters 3 or 4 months before the release date. I also get to pick June or May. He said if I want to get released early than it was fine with him. He also said I'll be becoming a trainer. Either this cycle or next :P

Also, I got some stuff stolen from me. I got my P-day shoes, nikes, and my new Proselyting shoes.... I'm using my old ones right now, but they won't hold up for forever. Maybe 1 more cycle. E. Zabala and E. Paea are my zone leaders. E. Glassie is my new DL.

This week is our baptism. We also have another interview for a baptism this week. and we set another  baptismal date for 3 weeks from now, which will probably be next cycle. So things are going really good here. I really hope I don't transfer, but it's possible because I think my comp is going to train too. I really want to have my birthday here. I already have plans for my birthday so I hope I don't get transferred. I think that's about it. Any ways that's about it. Love ya'll take care.

Week 51 - Upcoming baptisms!

Ramon

Alright I'll take pictures of all the places we go this week :p

Yeah we did get a new investigator. She is the Niece of one member here. She came to church last week and we set her baptism for the 23rd. Jefferson is still progressing. His interview is this week on Saturday. We had our baptism scheduled for the 15th, but the members decided last week to have an activity on that day so they moved our baptism to the 14th. Also E. Manalili said not really anyone attends the baptisms so we'll have to work on that. hahahha

 

We have our interviews this week with Prez. So I guess we see how that goes, but anyways I'm sure it'll be great^-^ hahaha Anyways that's all.... Take care! Love you.
