Hello hello!

Things are going pretty well here! Yesenia and Yudi are still absolutely wonderful! We taught Yesenia for the second time on Saturday. She´s so funny because she LOVES talking about families and how important they are to hear. And we love hearing it. But it´s hard to get in a lesson because that´s all she talks about. haha she´s so cute. But we talked about families on Saturday and left her The Family A Proclamation to the World. She also talked about how important flowers are to her and how she loves the positive energy they bring. She says she always has flowers in her home. And when she left, she let us pick out two roses to keep. I felt so loved. It was so nice to get that from her, because right now I haven´t really been able to connect with the members because I can´t really communicate with them, so it was nice to get that special love from someone. She´s so great. Sunday night, we brought a family with us to talk about the importance of families in the church and to talk about the proclamation. She spent most of the time talking about her family, but I know that she loved having us and the Abreu family there too. Tomorrow we´re going to teach her the rest of the Restoration and ask her to be baptized. 

And Yudi is amazing. The last time we visited her, we left the Word of Wisdom pamphlet for her to read. Before, she had mentioned that she knows that we don´t drink alcohol, and that she wants to quit and change her life. But when we got there to teach it, she didn´t understand why we don´t drink coffe. So we explained that it contains caffeine and can become addicting, and God doesn´t want us to be tied to things like that and it prevents us from having the Spirit. She totally understood and told us that she drinks coffee with her friends every morning, and a few days ago, when they came over, she told them that she wasn´t going to drink it anymore. And that´s before we even taught it to her! she´s so wonderful. She had a huge headache that day because she had quit, but she knew that it´s what she needs to do. 

A Day in the DR

Today we went to Santiago to go to the mission home and the office for P day. After Hermana Hunsaker talked with the doctor about her heat rash, we went to the National supermarket so the elders could buy food. When we walked in, I felt like we were in Disneyland! There was happy music playing, all of the employees were smiling, and it was so nice. haha It was just like Walmart, which doesn´t seem that exciting, but it felt like a palace. haha Most of the buildings here aren´t quite that nice. But it was fun to go and have a fun day in Santiago!
