Re: Finally

Dad,
 frst off... NO! We don´t get to sleep on Pdays! estoy bien freaking cansada!
      Word up, the Tousleys are going to tbe teaching Temple prep? That is sick! I took Temple prep in my war in Idaho, and honestly, it was good, but i could have done with out it. I hope the Tousleys make it way more exciting. I felt like part of my Temple Prep class time, was taken up by people talking about how they met their spouses, and then sometimes it ws a good class. It just depended on  who showed up. 
     Yáll received my letter! Yay! Sorry, i wrote Brandon like five pages or something, please dont feel unloved, its just, Brandon is my bro, he´s my main g. anyway, yay, you got my letter!
     Brandon wants to move back to socal? Okay, at least he isnt thinking about moving to anywhere north of bakersfield. Yeah, people call that cali... i guess it is, but, lets be real, nothing is better than socal. thats like... Oregon. anyway, i saw that here and peole get ticked. oh well, in from NY, no me importa. But wait, im going to lose my best friend. If brandon goes, i dont know what i will do. Well, i do, but, i wont. Ill stay in NY, i love NY with casi all my heart. Well, the Gospel first, but, NY is second, and i dont think I want to likve anywhere else. Did Brandon hit his head... again? Lets just hope that doesnt work out, i know, that is mean, but, hey - we´re talking about NY.
     So, we found this family last saturday (como, hace una semana) and we invited them to our movie night and they came! We visited them during the week, and the wife is super sweet. Well, saturday they came to our english calss (taught by yours truly, and my Cali bro, elder Corbin), and the wife is interested in learning english. Well, she asked if there were more actividades on saturday in the capilla, and there werent, but... there was a baptism going on! so we swung on by at 4pm and walked with them to the baptism! Theyre bien pilas, but... they didnt come to church. dad, the heart of a missionary hurts so bad when investigadores who have a fecha for baptism dont come to church. it hurts! 
     Good news! Our investigador who had a fecha bautismal, he came! The memebrs were so welcoming, and invited him to play soccer with them on saturdays! He has a fecha bautismal por 15 de Febrero. We are praying so hard that all goes well! He came in late on sunday, and it was great to see him there!
     MORE GOOD NEWS! My comp and i haven´t had a baptism yet, adn were working realy hard. We just want people to chnge and be better! That they can draw closer to Christ and make convenios con Dios. Well, we are reactivating so many people. Four people, who had been inactive for YEARS came to church. it was a major blessing. One sister has been inactive for seven years, another hermano for four years, and a mother and son for three years. They all came and had a sweet time. the members were just amazing yesterday, wso welcoming. I had a great sunday. 
     nothing is more pressuring and da mas nervios, than when its about 8:50, and youre waiting for your investigadores and less actives to come to church. We had a great sunday. 
     So, we saw elder Cook! Miercoles, he came! It was sweet! when he started speaking, he didnt even say anything super moving or profound, just general talking about random things, and Dad, i just started to cry. Not sobbing, just a few lagrimas, and its because when i heard him speak, i just knew, the Spirit was testifying to me, that he really is an apostle of Dios and he was called to serve. He was somany thigns that i really needed to hear that day, in ways i never thought i would receive such info. It was so amazing. Also, Elder amado sopke, and he always just makes me check myself, and how im doing. Well i shook elder Cooks hand, and it was so quick that it was about three seconds. Well, i shook elder amados hand, and oh my gosh, he look me right in the eyes, and gave me this smile, and it was so powerful. He like stopped, and shook my hand, and it was ery powerful. It was a sweet day. 
     I saw my MTC district there. We took this picture! All of us together again!  It was so sweet to see them all!
  I hope everything goes well this week. 
     Oh hey, we went to a sweet park this week! i took a pic of the grafitti because it was awesome!  Enjoy! Its guatemalan grafitti!


Have a good week dad!

ilove you, and I hope you enjoy Temple Prep!

oh, a quote from my comp this week. "es que yo estoy enamorada con mi misma!" wow, so humble. 

llove, 
 Hermana Ramirez

Si por fin!
  It was announced yesterday that the Temple Prep class is scheduled to start Feb 9th. And it's being taught by none other than John and Christy Tousley. Im so psyched. After sacrament Br. Riachart extended the me the invitation and I said Of Course!
   So that mi hija is the most important part of my week. It was great reading your letter we received it Tuesday. Our missionaries are winding down their tours at least the Elders are the Srs. I think just started. The sisters are so sweet.
   I have an interview with CVS for the assistant manager training program this Friday. Mom is all jazzed up because she ran into Frauline Kim Eichner. Who told her retirees can move into Stuart Terrace. @2000 a month they cover water and electricity all we need is our washer and dryer. I need to see how the CVS thing is going to work out, we would rate a 3br. so when you come back, (woo hoo) until you get sick and tired of us. Your brother is thinking of moving to Kaleefornia with Amanda. He is working at Staples and is doing Computer Base Training (CBT) on computers. So hopefully he will stick to this and his skull will harden. Tu tia Lisa le dijo se puede  quedar con ella hasta que encuentre trabajo y hogar. I don't think he realizes what it takes to survive, hopefully he won't learn the hard way. I think next time I go to the gym I will take a selfie and send it to you, so you can see "I WORK OUT"! I have that song in my head!
   So that's it short and sweet I know you have other things to do, and people to write to and hopefully relax. You guys don't get to sleep in on Pdays? I love you and miss you.

Re: 1-20-2014

Pops, 
 yo, i heard Benj is becoming a brat. nice. LET THE LEGACY LIVE ON! I thought it might have died out with me, but, yes, IT LIVES ON!
So, Dad, i heard this song (in English) and it was so stupid. I cant remember the words exactly, but i remember that the man said something about his friends and how cool they are because they have ladies... and they have babies (like kiddies) and i though, ughh, these poor guatemattecos, listening to music in english, and this is what they get. Then.. TEHN i found out that it was by george michael, and i couldn't stop laughing because i just thought of Arrested Developement. oh Dad, that show... i can't get over it still. GOB!

Okay, so we found some new investigadores this week. We put a new fecha with one of our old investigadores, but it turns out... we dont think he really is sincere. He seemed bien pilas when we found him, and now, im not sure, it seems like this is a game. I am not sure, but he still acts like he is into it all, but my comp and i see other intentions. He had some run ins with the law in the past, and we think maybe.. just maybe, he crosses his fingers when he testifys. im not sure, i really hope we're being insane, i hope he is sincere, but... dang it, i dont think so. 

We started to teach an English class! Elder Corbin, Elder Romero, and I and teaching. Elder Corbin is from Cali (SO CAL!!!!!!!!) and Romero is from Honduras and speaks superb english. Well, we had our first class Saturday, and people showed up. This young kid (who is a Nuevo investigador) brought his little brothers and they're bien pilas.  ALSO! We have movie nights here in la capilla every third sabado, and we invite people. Well, this one family we invited while we were contacting in the street, they ACTUALLY CAME! It was like... UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!! 

Hey, I found gluten free pasta last week, i dont rememebr it i told you. I feel super blessed. The gulten free pasta wasnt even super expensive, so i felt super happy!

We're seeing some miracles happen in our area, just a few tiny ones. Things are getting a little bit better. 

 here is a pic of my comp and i. i thought you might have forgotten how i look. Yes, i know, i've gained a ton of weight. don't be hatin'

okie dokie Dad. Elder Cook comes to the Capital this Wednesday! I am so pumped. tomorrow we have a metting with the entire mission! I am so excited, this doesnt happen much. We are all fasting, and we are all going to break our fast together, with pizza. Yes, i hope there is another food option, because thats just a huge gluten nightmare. Anyway, yeah, we'll see what happens. mi compa is super dedicated in making sure i get some yum yums, so if there isnt a gluten free option, 1) que mala onda 2) watch out for my Costa Rican compa, seriously, cuidado!

Well Dad, I love you. I miss you, and hey, family history is awesome. Ask questions a la Tia Mercedes, ella sabe mucho, y con tiempo, ella olvidara muchas cosas (lugares, fechas, nombres, historias, ect.). 

Com mucho amor, 
tu hija,

Hola mi hija!

 How are you. I was at church yesterday and Sr. gfarner came up to me and said she had received your letter and she seemed very excited and told me to tell you that she will be writing to you soon.
  So how are you doing? health wise I hope everything is better, missionary wise I hope you are finding investigators.
  I need to thank you for the Temple work you did for grandma and grandpa Ramirez. The missionaries were over sat. to teach a lesson. They showed Ben and I a video on family and the temple and how our families are eternal thanks to temple ordinances. After that they asked me what I thought and I was overcome by such emotion, I couldn't speak. I will get to speak to my mom and dad and have the conversations I wish I would of had with them. They'll get to see Benjamin. I knew all of this but it really didn't sink in until I saw that video.
  One of the missionaries is like 3 weeks til he is done with his mission. He's really excited about returning home but is still focused his work.
   Charlotte is no longer working for jack, why I don't know. But I picked up her hours. I will give her a call to see if she needs anything. My day off has changed so it's tough getting out to do splits with the missionaries on Tuesday's. So I will have to make an effort to make it whenever possible.
   The patriots lost to Peyton manning and the Broncos, they limped all the way to the playoffs with so many injured people, I think it was the third stringers playing and they went this far. Anyway that is life. Brandon got a job at Staples hopefully he'll save his money, I think he's contemplating going to live with Aunt lisa for a while and then get his own place. But I need to pray for him so his skull hardens, and he can start acting like an adult. He is customer service and they will be training him to deal with people's computer problems.
   Alaina's lil girl is such a doll. They were the first Mormon family I saw in action. They really lived the Gospel. Mom passed my resume to her manager, because the regional manager is always looking for people to train as assist managers. So he told her to give him a call this week so we can set up an interview next week. So I'll be praying about it to see if that's what's in the future.
  I will let you go so you can read all your other emails and do what you need to do on Pday. I proud of you and what you are doing. I love you.

7 Enero - 13 enero

Fatha (english accent),
 there's a snake in my boot! No, noo..., no - not really.
This week we had interviews with Presidente Watts, y su esposa, la Hermana Watts. Fue bien chilero por que hablamos de muchas cosas.
 Cuando yo estuve con Presidente, el me pregunto de mi salud, y despues, me pregunto "de que quiere hablar usted?" Fue primera vez que el me pregunto de que yo quiero hablar. Las otras entrevistas, el usualmente me pregunto de algo, y eso es de que hablamos. Pues, fue chilero por que yo le dije que yo quiero ser una mejor misionera, y quiero ser una lider. Con todas mis problemas con salud, yo quiero terminar mi mision, pero yo le dije, yo no solo quiero terminar mi mision, pero quiero terminarlo bien! A la Hermana Watts, hablamos de salud, y versiculos en el Libro de Mormon. Ella dijo de que como un pueblo, no usamos el Libro de Mormon mucho.
I had the flu, but im getting better. We stayed in yesterday, and i slept. Nothing is better than sleep for amisisonary.
We did a mission activity this weekend. The little jovenes had a mini mission, from Friday to sunday. Friday night, we have a short opening at the capilla, and they were assigned into companarismos, and then satyed at other member's houses, and Saturday we brought them back the the capilla. We taught them how to contact, and then in the afternoon set them loose to visit less actives and contact. We then ended it sunday in Sacrament meeting. The Attendance rose so much this weekend. We are working to hard to get less actives back to church.
We had a nerw investigador, he accepted our invitacion for baptism. he had been in jail for a little whie, and the Bishop said to have a brother from the ward go visit him with us. Anyway, my comp and i have impressions, twice, to not go over this week. We didnt go, and he didnt come to church this Sunday. :(((( Broken misisonary heart. anyway, we're gonna go see him tomorrow. He hasnt answered our calls. Bishop wants to meet him tomorrow.
Hey, i found chocolate on sale, i ate some, and now feel super sick. Freaking LACTOSE!
Anyway, i love you!
Love,

ps. Elder Cook comes next week!!!! WERE SO PUMPED!

Dad,
 With my new lifestyle of living gluten free, things are definately harder. I am just happy that I was able to go to the doctor and he found my problem. I talked to the nurse, and told her how there aren't many resources here for people with celiacs. It's frustrating because I am eating a bunch of chocolate, because it is the quick, gluten free, and cheap, and so it's really bad. I'm gaining a bit of weight, it's lame.

I've been eating eggs, rice, cold cut meats, bell peppers, onions, guisquil, and chocolate. It's a boring diet, but, that's what is up with me.
I guess, I will end up needing vitamins in the future; I still have prenatal vitamins im taking. if you look for vitamins, find some without gutnet, because many have gluten.
seriously, there is nothing that is made for people that cant eat wheat, no cookies, cakes, granola (HAS GLUTEN!). so, I'd appreciate anything, but don't freak out about sending me a lot, im doing fine.


hey, if you get time, send me a flea collar, or stuff for flees please? its gross, but, its going to be my life when i get moved to the capital.


Dad, i must tell you, our recent convert is the best. He is 19, and he is giving us referencias de su familia. we received three referencias from him. he is helping us so much now. WE lost him to the other sisters who took the other part of our area, but, not her is moving back to our area, so he is ours again. he reminds me so much of Brandon dad, it makes me miss home. I guess he looks like BRandon in some ways. Anyway, i attatched the pic of his baptism. He was dunked 28 de Septiembre.


Hermana Hutchins is helping me a ton with my gluten free living. I hope we don't get separated next change, because she has saved me so many times!


Hey, I don't have much time, but I just want to say it's getting harder now because our areas are getting a bit more sketchy, so we leave earlier, and that means less time to work. It's frustrating, but we are contacting our hearts out!


We went to Entre Rios, and found two inactive families. One family, th mom is from cCoabn, and doesn't speak Spanish, but Q'eqchi. I asked the daughter to ask the mom to pray in Q'eqchi before we left. She prayed and cried in her prayer. It was very spiritual moment. I love it!


hey, I love you!


love,
Hna.Ramriez

Dad!!!!!
Yo.
I miss you more than I miss American chocolate bars that are unmelted when they are bought.. yeah, EVERYTHING is melted here. It's lame.

Hey, so yes, it's been a year since you were dunked! I remembered that, and told me comp, and i just thought about how amazing this past year has been. The last two years of my life have been insane. i was baptized, graduated, left for school, and then YOU were baptized and confirmed! I was called to Guate, went throught the Temple, and you re4ceived the Melchizadek Priesthood!!!!!! SO SWEETTTTTT!

Dad, the gluten free living is fine. I asked President if I could receive more money for food. I was really nervous, because i felt weird asking for more money. Some missionaries don't get extra money from the mission for food allergies and health issues, adn they get sent home, so i was worried. I asked Elder L who works the misison finances, and he said "sure hna. how mush do you need?" and basically told me to name my price, and then said, oh, just ask Presidente to confirm it. I called him and he was like, sure, is that enough, Q140? and i said it sure is! I ask very happy. Its not too much more, and pres. told me i can ask for more if i need it. Its just hard because there is a bunch of gluten in everything. i bought rice cereal, and i thought it was gluten free like most of the other rice cereal... IT WASNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so that explains why i was sick for a few days. Its bad how i react now to gluten, its more intense because im living without it, so when i get a trace of it, it hits hard.

So, our week was a little tough. We lost my favorite investigator. She is this awesome Mom from El Salvador, and she truly is a great friend to me. Anyway, she was supposed to get her papers form El Salvador to get married, but the man she was going to marry (she lived with) so she could be baptized, is an alcoholic, and doesn't give her any money to support her. It's rough. We went to see if she came back from ES en la manana a miercoles, and she wasnt there. WE heard from her, and she isnt coming back because she just cant take to living conditions, and shes sad. We found out miercoles right befroe a district meeting, and in the district meeting our DL asked how our fecha was donig, and thats her, and i just cried. I felt like such a loser, but then again not. I truly love this woman, and i guess i was more sad of what she was living through before. I dont want her to come back if she'd be living in those conditions. Forget the baptism. I hope that doesnt sound like missionary apostasy, but its true. I dont want her in those conditions. I miss her. I hope i see her againin this life, but if not... I know i will see her in the Celestial Kingdom. Her second Sunday at church, she shared her testimony, and was crying. She is so strong. I miss her.

Hey, We went to Quirigua today. Look it up! It's Mayan ruins! We went to see it today. It was sick! Anyway, the mayans used Jade a lot, and so there is this Jade plate, and guess what it had on it... the tree of life. it explained the plate as the tree of life. I took a pic and i hope it turned out good. It blew my mind. WOW.

Hey, work is hard here. I feel so much pressure to have good numbers, it bothers me. I'm trabajando por amor, and it's great, but hen our numbers are bad, i feel like nobody cares how much i love these people, they just think we're chambones. I feel all this pressure to live up to. with my old comp, we had baptisms, and worked well. Now, hwe have no baptisms, and we re working SO hard. Were contacting three hours a day, and im working the hardest ever. Yo estoy trabajando por amor! puro amor. Solo amor. I don't care what people say, though.. actually i do. people think im lazy and im not, were working so hard Dad. Being a missionary is stressful. When you have no baptisms after having a bunch, you look como un chambon.

anyway, i love you. Here are some pics.

I am going to the cementerio a viernes con Presidente de rama. Dia de los Santos. Vamos a comer dulces!!!!

Te quiero mucho Papi.

Sorry, Meghan's moderator (her dad) has been slacking off.  So here she is:
 this week.
just another week in the Guatemala City Inline image 2EAST Mission. Not north or south, remember that!
 We worked hard. We thankfully didn't go to Guluan or Zacapa, or the Captial... for once.
Monday, I don't think I told you, but we went to the escobas. How tight! Hermana Ceballos y I, hung out with our best friends, Elder Pool y Elder Altino, from Santo Tomas. We headed on over to the Escobas and hiked up that mountain. It was fun. I have pictures! it's very beautiful there.
We came back late, and when they left, we went for internet, but had very little time. I'm sorry I didn't write much to you. 

Wednesday, I FOUND HIM! Okay, i dont think i told you about the guy i met that speaks english, and lived in NY for a while. Well, yeah, that happened like a month ago. Well, one night like three weeks ago, we were late.. as freaking usual, to an appointment (no es mi culpa). It was about 8:30 and we're walking inthe rain to the sketchy part of PB, seriously wasnt my fault, but in a trio, you're always late. Anyway, he saw me and said something like 'hey, the missionary fron ny!' but i really didnt have any time to talk, so i said 'hola, see ya later' and we darted. I felt super guilty since then. I prayed and prayed a whole bunch so that i could find him again. Well, monday night i felt super guilty, and i prayed to be forgiven and thati could find him. Someone that actually wants to talk, and i was wrong. Well, Tuesday morning i did the same. WEll, Tuesday afternoon I passed by the spot i saw him in before, and wha da ya know? he was right freaking there! YAY! We talked and he is super cool. His daughter in sick (shes 14) and his wife can't speak spanish, and they have problemas con dinero, pero, he tiene a lot of fe in God. I pregunte if he attends a Church, but he said he doesnt always have time, but he reads the Bible. Anyway, after talking por thirty minutos, we had to go. YAY! I was super happy to see him!
oh, we also had a District meeting Wednesday. no es muy divertido, but, our district is cool, i like being with them.


Thursday we had splits with a companionship from Chiquimula. They were cool. Hna. Torres (my comp for the day) is so sweet. I like her. We did well. WE went to Mitch that day and taught five lessons. WE left pretty late because people love to talk about EVERYTHING else when we meet with them. So, we went to the main road to get a Taxi home, and it was pouring rain... POURING! Rain here gets pretty intense sometimes, so, literally, it was painful. we stood outside, and i will admit, i was a little afraid because Mitch at night is peligroso, and everyone tells us to hurry home, because its bad. There were about 10 guys on the other side of the road watching us, and three on our side watching us, and i was a little scared. Hna. Torres is tiny like me, and not big like Hna.C, so, i had a little fear. Well, we waited for about 15 minutes trying to wave down a taxi, and nobody wanted to pick us up because we were wet. Well, Hna. Torres prayed, and during her prayer, a taxi decided to pick us up! YAY!


Friday, ehh, the usual, teaching lessons. Sorry, i dont always have an exciting day every single day. Friday was fine.

Saturday was good. We went to the baby shower for one of our converts who is getting baptized Sunday. The baby shower was a surprise for her! It was nice, but it was... a little chafa also. Nobody wanted to play the games, and some of the sisters that planned it and set up didnt even stay, they were outside talking the whole time, and didnt even come in. NObody gave the Mom-to-be a kiss when she came in, or when they left. Oh, most of the people left once they ate. Its a thing of 'eat and leave' which is a little rude. Anyway, my comp and I wanted to support Alejandra, so we stayed and cleaned up after because the people who threw the shower didnt even stay to take the stuff down or clean. It's weird Dad, I dont get it. It's weird.


Sunday, my comp and I gave talks, and I taught Gospel Principles and she taught Reliefe Society. As you can tell, our Saturday night was spent planning. Well, as you know, we have major money problems right now. The new mission only likes to do reimbursements, so we use what we have, and wait two weeks for our money. Well, right now, we dont have anything really. I used my emergency money from the south mission to pay for our comedor. Its bien chafa. Anyway, in Hna.C's lesson about giving service, everyone was talking, until Hna.C said how we're kind of out of food. We dont have anything right now, and by the grace of God, were getting by. She said how on Thursday (its true) people gave her food during a lesson, and she hadnt eaten. Well, someone gave me cookies thursday, and i saved those suckers for breakfats. Well, the point is, Hna.C was basiacally asking for help, and the sisters didnt volunteer to help us, at all. One sister, who everyone roll stheir eyes at, it the only sister that invited us over. Her family is super awesome, and i when we ate lunch with her family yesterday, i fought my tears, because they dont have much. They dont have much but they fed us, even before they knew our problem. They invited us on saturday. It bothers me that people in the ward are alittle rude to this family. anyway, i am grateful

anyway, i havent been sick this week!
i love you Dad!
I want to tell you about the Temple!
When I was in Idaho for this last semester I was there, in the Winter, I was depressed Dad. I was incredibly depressed, and I went to the Temple often. I love the Temple, and i received so much help from going twice a week. I think people might have thought i was being zealous, like 'oh, i go to the Temple because i am more holy than you.. blah blah' but its because i was depressed. I felt terrible. I went once or twice a week, every week, because i needed help. I fasted a often. I am truly excited for you to go to the Temple. When you go, go with someone you know well. Tell the missionaries to tell Elder Fragiacomo, Lartey (if hes still there) Higby, if they can go with you. they let missionaries do that. The Temple is truly the House of God. I can't wait to go again here.


okay, i love you Dad.
Love your only little girl,

15th July. Ay, tener exito


Dad, i like the new car. 
Nissan Versa... makes my think of HEROES!
Okay. I am sick... as usual. 
Yo se that this week was chafa... a bit. 
okay, Tuesday was a fine day. We worked, and were told on Sunday that we don't have cambios. Well, tuesday night we got a call at 9:30pm saying hna.Rodas had cambios and we had to have our tuchus' in Guluanl by 10am the next day. we scrambled to go get her clothes for hna.C because she does our laundry. anyway. it was crazy. 

Wednesday was another day on a bus. yay... Adios Hna.Rodas. Thankfully we dont have a new comp. I miss like Hna.Rodas. I can see there are benefits though, and its because i have room to speak now. one comp cant to the whole lesson, and with two, i can speak more in lessons. 

Wednesday night we got back to PB around 7:30. At 9:30pm we recibimos another call... WE had to go to the captial and be there by 9am the next morning. Well. we didnt sleep that night because we had to take a 1am bus. yay... My visa stuff has to be done. Spent another day on a bus. 

 Friday, we had to go tell everyone we ditched why we failed to show up the last two days. people were ticked. i understand, but i hope they understand us too. 

Saturday i felt like an actualy missionary. i was able to speak to people without hesitation and contacted like a beast! i felt the Spirit so much Satuday, i hope everyday is like Saturday. The problem was that the fair is in town, so many people werent home, but we found people! it was great. three new investigators.

okay, Saturday has a down fall. To of our investigators told had problems with this satudays baptisms. one doubts his testimony now and says he just wants time, but he faild to show up at Church yesterday. My heart, its breaking!!!! Then our other said in other words, she doesnt have a testimony or even believes in the Atonement of Christ or Christ. Well, we have work to do. Im so sad, but i knew this would happen. 

I dont have much time to write today because the President in coming to our apartment today. 

Later were going to the Fair with the elders Pool y Altino. im excited. 
Im reading Romans and knowldge is just wrapping my brain, like little pigs in blankets. so much knowledge, i know why i have a big head now. 

anyway, i love you. 

i miss you Dad. i like the new car!
Love,
