February Already...holy cow! 2/2/14

So I decided that since I usually don't write a lot here that I would bring my journal with me so I can remember the week so I can make these emails a little longer haha. And surprisingly I have written in my journal every single day since entering the MTC...awesome right! Anyways, lets start with Tuesday:) So, Tuesday my companion and I visited a bunch of our less active members in our area (Puelay). And one of our "Golden Investigators" as well. His name is Julie. He is 16 years old and he lives with a less active family here in Puelay. He is so good! He reads the scriptures every day and when he finishes his assignment that we give him he continues to read something else in the BOM. I am excited for him. I really think he will be baptized:) Wednesday we visited our far area...Labit. I love the drive to Labit because we get to pass all the beautiful rice fields and I get to see the rice grow more and more every week. Just like the faith of our investigators:) Its a beautiful thing! We also had Zone training which went really good. The ZL's and the STL's taught the importance of 15 minute member visits. Anyways, back to our time in Labit. We taught Bro. Wilfredo but he was sick so he wasn't able to come with us and be our member present which is ok because he needed to get rest to feel better. That day we had FHE at our IBD's house. The Obando Family. I LOVE THEM! They are just so great and the funniest family I have met here. They are so sweet and kind and so welcoming. They are so ready to be baptized. They are getting baptized on the 22nd of this month. I am so excited!:) Thursday, not much happened. We taught some less actives in Baracca and then went to the Ancheta family and taught them the Plan of Salvation. Bro. Julie's dad joined into the lesson and so now we get to teach the both of them. We are really excited about that. He had some really good questions about the Plan of Salvation so we are excited to share our knowledge with him:) Friday we went to Labit again and Bro. Wilfredo was able to work with us. It was pretty much the same routine as Wednesday except no FHE haha. Saturday was a fun day! At 4 o'clock we had an activity at the Church (which we are going to do every Saturday at 4...have an activity at the Church) we played a bunch of outside games. It was fun! We played basketball, bad mitten, and some other games. Our investigator Julie and his cousin/member Angeline and Janloid came to the activity. I think they had a fun time...especially beating me at bad mitten haha. Sunday, we had church and then we taught a BUNCH of less actives. It was a pretty tiring day but very productive. None of our investigators came to church though:( So that was a bummer, but a lot of our less actives came to church which was a plus:) haha. So yeah, that was my short and sweet weekly overview:) Have a wonderful week and I will talk to you next week!:) Mahal Kita! -Sister Ramsey
