Our first Sunday in our new branch was on Easter. That is probably why our ranks swelled to 25! Glen said the opening prayer in Sunday School and I said the closing. We also ended up teaching the class. Then I said the closing prayer. Glen said the opening prayer in the combined RS and Priesthood class and I said the closing prayer. And since it was also Fast and Testimony Meeting Glen and I got up and bore our testimonies. All this in Spanish mind you. Now I have a new resolve to find and reactivate the members. So they can take a turn! It was a great day though.
After we had our district of missionaries over for an Easter turkey dinner. Our district includes two zone leaders, two district leaders, two sister missionaries and us. It was very fun and the sisters had a special message for us how the Savior didn't drink the vinager and gall that was offered to him on the cross because it was a numbing drink for the pain and thirst and He chose to suffer for us completely.
We can really feel the spirit with us. Especially at the zone conference yesterday where Pres. Gilwix spoke to us of the Spirit's help we can call upon. He gave us a special blessing that I thought was just for me until I realized other missionaries there could use it too. It was an amazing teaching and blessing.
So glad you're posting!...and that you had a good Easter. Sounds like you're going to have some good opportunities to use your Spanish!
