9 Months Down!!

I did not like the Toasted Harina.

This week was good, like all of the weeks haha.

On Monday night we taught some Haitians the Plan of Salvation and I have drawings which makes it a lot easier and so we started and they just wanted to look at the drawings and know how I made them haha. But then we taught it and after we had them re-teach it to us with the drawings and they did a really good job! We were really proud especially because they did it in Spanish! Woohoo

Me and Patricio

We did the Pre-interview for baptism for Marta, and she passed! She knew it all and is progressing soooo well! But she didn't go to church on Sunday because she had visitors and Santa Cruz is far away...But we are still working with her!

A member had his birthday this week and so we made tacos and had a party! Woohoo

Hermana Aquino and Patricio

We also taught Patricio the same day and he is just so hard to teach sometimes because he doesn't understand anything! But we will keep working with him. Then he gave us some drink called Toasted Harina which is Toasted Flour with water and sugar. It was super gross...Look at my face in the picture haha it says it all...

We had our interviews this week! WOOHOO

We talked with President Harris and he said that we will yes have to move to Santa Cruz but that we will still work in Chepica some days and that also I might stay but with new companion because I know our investigators and they have trust in me. So I'm sad that I wont be with Hermana Aquino but I'm happy because I'll most likely be here to help Marta and Eduardo until they are firm in the church. 

I got to watch Coco!! It is the cutest movie ever! Whoo we watched it to teach about Family History work and the Temples. We taught Marta and Eduardo and they are super excited for one day to be able to go to the temple and do the work for their ancestors.

We had Intercambios with our hermana Leaders and it was good. We contacted a lot and had a good lesson with a Haitian. We contacted a lady who didn't want anything but she said that the reason she's not religious is because all of the religions think they are the best and then they just all start wars..Haha okay. We told her that God loves her and that when she feels ready to learn about the gospel we will be willing to teach her.

In church we had a lot of youth come who have been really inactive and we are super happy because they are happy because there are more youth in Santa Cruz so hopefully they will keep coming.Then in the afternoon we visited Hermana Ines and she is super funny and was telling us stories about when she served a mission haha. She had to go to 2 missions because she was (in her words) "kicked out" of the other mission haha. 

This week I was reading about the Temple and I really loved one phrase. 

"The home is the only place that can compare in Sacredness with the Temple" 

We need to be trying every day to make our house sacred like the temple 

Have a great week! The gospel is true and God loves you
