This week we had a lot of emotions!
First things first, we went to visit Marta, and well Marta smokes....sooooo we decided to sacrifice things while she is sacrificing smoking. So I am not wearing makeup until she stops and Hermana Aquino isnt eating after 8 at night and her son Eduardo isn't using his phone for social media from 11 am until 6 pm. We are all sacrificing something. I think mine is the hardest ;) Ah, ps she started her sacrifice smoking 7 cigarettes every day and now she's sometimes smoking 1! But goes a lot of days without! Woohoo!!! Blessings for all!!
One of the members here is an english teacher (he served his mission in Utah) so he asked us to come to his class to introduce ourselves and also teach his students the Cup Song from Pitch Perfect. It was really fun and the kids seemed to enjoy doing something a little different for a while.
We visited Patricio again this week and he told us that he has like 50 cats and 5 women....He tells us he has girlfriends! What?! He is 71 years old and married and tells us that he has girlfriends! We told him that this week we are going to have to teach him the Law of Chastity...haha. He's crazy.

Marta invited us to her house for lunch and it was super yummy! All of her family can cook really well so it's always awesome to eat at her house. We taught her son Eduardo about the plan of salvation and he was super excited and says that he really likes the part about the spirit world and how important it is to do all of our "works" (baptism and other things) here on earth because it's harder to do it in the spirit world and he doesn't want to have to rely on anyone to do is work here if he dies hahahah.
Well, it's cold here and the Haitians are not use to cold so when its cold they all drink wine! So all of our haitian investigators are always drunk! We have explained to them that they can't do it but they say it's the only way to not be cold!!🙄🙄
This week we had to clean the house of the Elders and it was SO gross! It was like they hadn't cleaned for years haha! But we got it done finally and it looked pretty good when we left!!
One day this week we went to the investigators of the elders (well ours now) and we put 7 baptismal dates in ONE day!! It was a miracle!
We also did "heart attacks" to the members here and wrote cute little scriptures and put them on the gates of their houses and they were all very grateful!
Okay, on Sunday President Harris came to Chepica and we had a ward council meeting in the morning and he told us that.....He is closing the branch in Chepica. So, there is not a branch in Chepica anymore. We will now have to go to Santa Cruz every Sunday which for the members is difficult but we know that we will be blessed. Also in 5 weeks there will no longer be missionaries in Chepica either. So, we know that we all will be leaving Chepica next cambio. But the reason for this is because there aren't men with the Priesthood, no families, and there aren't all of the organizations (young womens and young mens, Primary). It will be good but really hard at first for the members. Now our job as missionaries is to help the members and our investigators understand the reasons and get them excited to go to Santa Cruz on Sunday!
Well thats all for this week! Have a great 4th of July! Party hard and eat lots of good food!!!
