What an exciting week. President Bruce has left and
President Dalton has arrived...which until the moment nothing has happened that
I have seen or felt, Elder McCaskill and I were talking about it this morning
and we believe that we really won't feel much of any difference for a
while.
On Sunday we had a surprise we arrived to church and there
were several people that I did not recognize from before and so I went and
talked with one man that was by himself and asked him where he is from,
thinking he would say, Santiago, Antofagasta, or some city just passing through
and then he told me that he was from the Branch Copiapo, (the branch next to
us) so my thoughts became, ok he is on the sumo consejo or stake something that
he is here on assignment for the day. Then I went to the next family and asked
them and they informed me that they as well are from the Branch. and next and
next...and I was a little confuzed but alright whatever, and all the Stake
Presidency was also present so the meeting begins and the Stake President,
President Diaz reads a card from the First Presidency that the Branch Copiapo
and the Ward Copayapu shall be one that the branch is being closed. It was a
bit of a shock but it happened so now we are a much bigger ward and we have 4
missionaries.
Also on Sunday we only had Sacrament meeting because Chile
had there primary elections and so as we we began to sing the closing song a
member came up to us and told us there was an investagor waiting outside that
wanted to speak with us. So we go ouside and meet Carlos who Sister Burk had
taught the year before and he wanted to retake the lessons so we taught him
right there and then in the Church. Cool guy and it will be some work but he
will become a member.
On Friday we helped a family move homes it was fun. I enjoy
that kind of work a lot.
This is a picture of Elder McCaskill as the little daughter
of the family we ate lunch with on Sunday put her clothes on him.
Have a Wonderful day - because you can choose to
