Transfer Date

So this week was really rough at first.  We had Zone meeting and the lesson was all about using your time wisely and not wasting a minute.  So we decided to change our schedule up a little bit and get out of the apartment earlier when it's a little bit cooler and then come back to the apartment around 12 and finish our studies, eat and head back out to work.  Every morning this week when we went out at 10, it was the worst thing in the world!  It was so hot and everyone refused to let us teach them.  They were all super busy trying to finish all their chores that they didn't have time to meet with us.  It was terrible and so after having gone out at 10 the whole week we decided to change our schedule back to the old one of finishing our studies and lunch and then going out.  

Because of our schedule change and some interviews by Friday we only had four lessons the whole week.  I was pretty disappointed and so on Saturday we got it in gear and taught eight lessons in one day.  After teaching all those lessons and basically walking around the whole area I was super tired but it was the best tired I'd been the whole week.  We found out this week that we're also teaching three sisters and one came to church this week and we were going to give her a baptismal date yesterday but when she was reading the pamphlet about the things we need to do in this life to have eternal life in the next she read everything except baptism.  So we think we're going to talk to her a little more about it and then challenge her.

We do have a baptism coming up but we think we're going to have to delay it another week because he decided to go out of town the whole week so he wasn't able to come to church and we weren't able to teach him.  Also another thing is that it's transfer week and I'm getting transferred so the amount of time to teach him all the lessons that he needs to be taught before he gets baptized is cut down by a little bit. 

The Ramon ward is going to the Manila Temple this week and I'm kinda mad I can't be here for when they get back!  It's like payday seeing people get ready to go to the temple.

So yeah, I'm getting transferred!  After being six months here I think it's about time even though I don't really want to be transferred because we just started teaching a bunch of people and a few are coming to church.  I'm also going to miss the families here that have treated me like I was their son while I was here.  But I'm excited to go some place new!

Well that's all that happened this week!
Love you guys
