Week 121: Quarantine and Applying to BYU-Pathways

      I'm so tired of quarantine but I use my time in calling my family and friends.  I have received an email that there would be chance or another way that I can apply in the enrollment to BYU-Pathways.  Here is what GWilliam responded to me.  

Elder Bateiti, 

     Yes, you do need to take the English Test online.  Is it possible that the quarantine facility can provide you a computer for a few hours with Internet connection?  Then you can register and take the test so you don't miss the deadline of December 15th.  I've copied President Markus on this as well, in case he knows if that is possible.

   If not, then we'll contact the Area Manager and ask her to allow a late application.  I would suggest that we get the application started up to the point where you take the test.  You should be able to do this on your phone.  Use this link and select apply now.  Then choose the yellow colored "apply now" button, not the blue one.  When it asks you to take the exam (assessment), do not start it using your phone.  It is very difficult to take on a phone and most students do not pass it if they use their phones to take it.

Regards, 

Elder and Sister GWilliam

     Well I am on my 5th day of quarantine so I would have a chance to enroll although it will be late.  He says that they will ask for permission for my late enrollment.  Taking the test from here is not allowed honestly and the military guard would be known for my movements.  I have received some emails that I am going to have a chance to be accepted and I will be late in my enrollment because of my quarantine.  They set a dat that I should have everything finished before December 20th.

Week 96: Visit to the Island of Cadantuanes & Loving the Ocean Breeze

Image
      Here are some of my adventures on the Island of Cadantuanes which was a 4 hour ride on a ship.  The purpose of our visit there was to try to check on some apartments on this island that had been left by the missionaries during lockdown.  They had 6 apartments left behind and the good thing is that some of the missionaries from the mainland still had baptisms here while teaching virtually.        We were grateful to see all the members as we arrived there.  We had a one night devotional with them as well as President Abraham and Sister Abraham.  We were so grateful to have the opportunity to listen from the recent converts on how they got to know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church on this earth and that Joseph Smith is the prophet of the restoration.  We were so grateful to listen to their testimonies as well as the leaders and YSA that have a desire to serve a mission.  One thing that I really liked is the invitation that President and Sister

Week 117: Mission Life in Croatia

      I am freezing here even though I have cold weather clothing.  It just gets colder and colder.  I will probably be here until November 30th.  I was able to talk with Elder Gutierrez and he looks great.  We were so happy to catch up and he was able to talk with my companion which is the man who performed by baptism while Elder Gutierrez was in Kiribati.  His name is Elder Lebinoka.  He was one of the YSA in Abaokoro during the time Elder Gutierrez worked in Abaokoro.        The good thing is I keep using these shoes here in Croatia.  They are the black ones that you bought.  It is my only shoes that I have been using in traveling.  Thank you again for the shoes. Elder Bateiti and Elder Lebinoka - YSA that baptized Elder Bateiti in Abaokoro, Kiribati now both missionaries serving in Croatia awaiting a flight to Kiribati.

Week 54: Fed By the Spirit

 Kumusta,       This week we have been traveling to one of our fellow missionaries.  We had exchanges in virtual call and it was so cool to see the other areas in my district still progressing.  They had 2 baptisms last week and this week as well.  We are still praying that Sister Zairah will be able to answer our calls this week so we could be able to still review her lessons.  For this new September we will baptize her.  The work here is really slow.         It was really cool seeing the devotional last week with my fellow missionaries, especially Elder and Sister Wakolo from the Area Presidency.  I learn I have a lot to learn from them.  One thing that I learn is that we will become master teachers if we focus our study in the Preach My Gospel and the Book of Mormon, memorize scriptures from the Book of Mormon and from the Bible that relate to our lessons we have been teaching from the gospel of Jesus Christ.        We were so grateful for the time and the day that God has given us
