We have been asked to spend a couple of days a week in the Chitre branch. It's about an hour away. They have a beautiful building that we are used to attending for our Zone Meetings with the other missionaries.
We're excited to work in Chitre. There are wonderful, faithful, members here that we are getting to know. They have been great about going out with us and showing us around.
The church is organized in stakes. A stake has about 7 congregations that are part of it. When there are small congregations than they are organized into a district. Santiago is part of a district. The goal is to make the Chitre district a stake this year!!! We can see that it will happen. We have seen the hand of the Lord bring the right people here, he has been preparing less active members to come back and it WILL HAPPEN! The Chitre branch will be split into two congregations. We are serving in Chitre to help strengthen the members and invite the less actives to come back. We truly have felt the Lord working in the lives of his children to help make this a reality.
Our District consists of congregations in Penonome, Aguadulce, Chitre, Las Tablas and Santiago.
We continue to be grateful to Heavenly Father for his love towards his children. There are so many times I'm with people here and I feel Heavenly Father's love for them. I know that He wants us to be happy. Happiness does not come from things, it doesn't even come from not having trials. Those are part of life. He is there to help us through our trials. I know this! He is there for us if we will turn to Him. Not passively, but with true purpose of heart.
