We gave another little training and had about eight doubly confirmed people, with the most recent confirmation happening the very same day, but only two showed up. One of them was 20 minutes early and the other 45 mintues late. doh! The training went as well as it could go having only two people present. We taught them to seperate their personal money and their business money by assigning a fixed weekly income of what is necessary to cover their needs, and yo only pay tithing on that portion that they assigned to themselves as a personal wage. Previously they have either been paying tithing on all of their sales income or on the money that is left after paying their expenses of a sale and their families expenses.
So after all this talk of moving offices, it is finally officially happening this week. By this wednesday, the current office must be emptied. Monday and Tuesday we will be moving things in the back of a pickup truck out of the office, which is about a half hour drive away to the other side of the city. The office is in Miguel's house. Miguel's house is still being constructed and is pretty beat up in a dirty part of town. He has invited us to live at his new house with him for about 30 bucks a month, but it is far away from the city, and also very likely area to get robbed and my stuff stolen.
I will be moving my stuff to a small room in the same building. The room is full of junk and spiders ricght now, so that will also be my work for the next few days. As long as I am in this building I have access to internet, so I'll still be pretty connected. Once everything gets settled I will leave my laptop and everything that I have in my new room and take a bus ride to get to the office everyday. I like the ward and area that I am at so I would much rather commute than to move. Take care and hope everyone is well.
