Hey so this week has been full of ups and downs. We were having a tough week in the work and I wasn't feeling all that excited. However, things changed after our fast and testimony meeting that was full of ten people. We left the meeting on foot and were headed home when we decided to stop by the house of the district president. We stopped by but he wasn't there so we talked with his son for a second. He showed up shortly after. We spoke with him about the whole chapel situation. How we had tried everything and looked everywhere. He showed us a magazine that has all sorts of things that are for sell. We went straight to the page with homes on it. We found three homes for sale in our area. We looked at the directions and found the one that was in the best location. We ended up calling the owner and we went with Pres and his wife to the house to take a look at it. It turns out that the owner is one of our former investigators. The house is perfect in every aspect. Our district president wants to buy the house so that the church can rent it. The price of the house is 20,000 pesos which is a bit but Pres says that he can have that much in about two months. I believe the Lord has blessed us with this opportunity. I am convinced that because of the fasting and the prayers that the members did is the real reason why we found this home. We fasted too but I'm sure they fasted better. We continue to pray that this will all work out for the good of the branch. I would ask you all to pray that we may have a chapel in our area.
Today we had our radio show for 30 minutes. More like we paid for a 30 minute spot on the radio. We invited everyone to General Conference this weekend. We also shared the Proclamation to the World and the living Christ. We all spoke for three minute periods and then we had music breaks. Then we continue with another three minute run. It went over really well. I think we will be doing it again on Friday and playing a few sound clips from previous conferences. I want to use the talk that Elder Holland gave about our belief in Christ. We'll see what happens.
Last week I made mention of the cilantro that we found. I will now make mention of the salsa that we devoured. It was extremely tasty. We were given a special kind of pepper that they have here that is really spicy but nobody eats it. We threw that in and it was even better. The home made tortilla chips were a project. We tried all sorts of ways to get the chips just right. We made them from flour tortillas so it was a little bit different but it still tasted good.
Brother Ibañez made our day and night when he brought us McDonald's that he bought in Asunción that day. He heated it up and it just disappeared. I didn't think the big mac would really taste like a real one, it did. We were extremely HAPPY☺ after that MEAL. He was the one that gave us those spicy peppers. MMMmmm…. MMmm…. Mm… I'm lovin' it!
I don't want anyone to ask people to give money to my branch members. They will sell empanadas and they will be fine. There aren't that many going so we should be fine. I paid for the products so they could start and I think that is enough. Please do not ask people for money.
I love you all and hope you enjoyed the news this week. Keep praying that we get a chapel. Love, Elder Hunsaker
