Ramon Lopez

Hey what's up?!? So the title of this email is the name of one of our members in this branch Ramon Lopez. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met and truly the goat! He likes to go out with us and help us teach so we are often in lessons with him. This last week was a pretty funny week so I thought I would share a few things that he said in the lessons. 

So our first lesson was earlier in the week where we went to a ladies house to teach her. So we are all sitting there and her husband is yelling her name for like 3 minutes before he walks out and realizes we are there. It was a little awkward but he tells us that he thought she had gone to the bathroom. No big deal but when we left Ramon looked at me with a bright red face and said I don’t think they were expecting us. I asked why he thought that and he just said you have to be intelligent to know those types of things lol. Later we had a lesson with a lady named Luna. When we invited Ramon to share his testimony he simply said “No”. It was so funny haha. Isn’t that why he comes with us to teach? I love this dude so much, he always keeps us laughing!

The work here is moving along great! We had 10 investigators come to church yesterday, which was really good! We are still teaching our boy Vladimir. He is a very interesting person lol but we love it! He has come to church 2 times now and has a baptismal date for the 12th of August. He is 27 and just a goober. He loves to sing and has shown us some of his singing vids and they are pretty entertaining. Another friend of ours that is progressing is Wilson. He is a good friend of Ramon and we found him cause Ramon took us to his house one day. He came to church yesterday and has a lot of potential. He does not care for the Catholic church, which is a huge step in the conversion process of a Dominican haha. 

Overall I am doing great. I love this country. Never thought I would say that when I first got here, but it is amazing! The people make me so happy! Read the Book of Mormon everyday it will bless your life forever! Love you all!
