While pioneering in Argentina near the Andes Mountains, a desire grew within Richard Traub to open up the preaching work in Chile. Brother Juan Muñiz, the then branch overseer in Argentina, agreed that it seemed to be a good idea. Brother Traub was assigned to Chile. He arrived in Santiago on the evening of April 30, 1930. On February 13, 1931, the first baptism in Chile was conducted by Jehovah’s Witnesses. In 1944, construction began on the first Kingdom Hall to be built in Chile. It was finished in August of that year, in time for the first convention ever held in Chile. At the close of the year 1945, 10 more missionaries arrived. This group of missionaries had the privilege of setting up the first missionary home at 3004 Lyon Street in Santiago. There are now 280 congregations. <ref>"Chile", JW.org, https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/301982003#h=7, accessed 8 March 2020.</ref> | |||
