Surprises


This week we were asked to speak in Sacrament Meeting. So we prepared our talks on Saturday. When we got to church, the Branch President told us we weren't actually going to speak... maybe next week. As it turns out, the District Presidency came to reorganize the Branch Presidency. So they spoke. They also surprised us by assigning six families from Valle Grande to our branch, where before they went to Lampa. 

The new Branch President is President Christensen, from Arizona. We are teaching his niece, who is now living with them, and it looks like we will be preparing a baptismal service in a few weeks. One of the cool things that happened is that he only called one counselor... he didn't feel like he should call another yet. Today he recieved the surprise that six more families would be part of the branch. 

We are now starting to see the fruits of our efforts, which is exciting. I've been in Batuco for 2 months now. (Time flies fast) One of the most rewarding parts of the work is being able to see the progress and the changes in peoples lives.  To feel like you were an instrument in the Lord's hands to help someone.
