Bienvenidos a la nueva casa de Renca 2.2...
This week, we moved into a new house. We no longer live with
Elder Villagrán y Elder Huaratapayro. We still see them almost every day at
lunch though. We found this house about three weeks ago or so. Missionaries had
been looking for a new house for months here, because the apartment we lived in
in the Huamachuco 2 was 30 minutes away from our sector on foot.
The house is very new and clean and too expensive, but with the amount of missionaries that will be coming to our mission soon, President said to sign the contract right away and we moved in two days later. It's right in our sector and the mission bought us almost all new stuff. So pretty sweet, right?
They will be turning the mission home into housing for North American Missionaries at the MTC here. The mission home will be able to house something like 40 missionaries. I believe they'll be coming straight here. Our ward will be gaining another set of missionaries, so it will have 6. A branch in our stake will have about 5 sets... 10 missionaries... in a branch. Pretty sweet.
This week, we had a lot of members in church. The attendance was about 130. That's pretty sweet.
We finally set Mari with a baptismal date. She's been investigating for 4 months and really would like to get baptized. She just needs to stop smoking. She was the first investigator I met that first day in Chile... a little more than 2 months ago. We are praying for her a lot. She is recently divorced, and we just found out that her boyfriend is a less active member... and he told her she should get baptized, so it helps to have that support, because some of her family doesn't support her.
There is another investigator named Giselle that has met with the missionaries for probably over a year. Her mom wouldn't give her permission to get baptized, but she has decided to get baptized on her 18th birthday, when she no longer needs permission. That's in three weeks, and will be really awesome.
We are in a different place for internet today, and I can't send any pictures... sorry.
I'm assuming Thanksgiving is coming up... so enjoy.
Thanks for your support.
