Four rooms in a newly dedicated church. 4.24.2013

New apartment

Man! Our apartment is SO nice! It's brand new, has a dishwasher, and washer and dryer in the apartment. We have a nice exercise room in the complex that we use every morning. It's awesome. It's still a bit of a mess. I haven't unpacked yet. That's what we are doing today. As soon as we got here, we went straight to work. 

Sister Wankier and I had an interesting first day. On our way to the library, she twisted her ankle really really bad. We had her sit down, and within a few seconds she had passed out. Can you believe it? She was only out for a second or so. The elders rushed in to the library to get some water, and she fainted again. It was really scary. Thankfully, the security guard came around the corner at that very moment. An ambulance was called and everything. Sister Wankier has never fainted before in her whole life. She was just exhausted. We spent the rest of the day recovering. 

The chapel here in Danbury was dedicated in March. It's at the very first steps of growing. It has about four rooms right now. With the new chapel, the elders decided to start up an English class. There were 30 students that came! It was incredible. It's a great opportunity to offer service, and find people that have been prepared by the Lord. 

We've been meeting with a lot of members recently. Portuguese and Spanish. I have been studying Portuguese a little bit... "Todo bom" and plan to study it some more. It would be awesome to learn how to speak Portuguese, but for now, I'm just going to focus on understanding it. :)

On Sunday, we came to the chapel early and were so excited to watch the little chapel fill up with people. Unfortunately, it didn't fill as much as we had hoped. Our teeny little chapel wasn't near to being filled. I suddenly realized how much work there is to do here. TONS! That little chapel will be full! The Lord has been preparing people for their whole lives to here our message at this time. As we follow the Spirit, we will find them and we will help this branch grow. 

Love you tons!!
