We visited the Lake Placid Branch today. The branch meets in the building in Sebring. The members were part of the Sebring Ward until last fall when the branch was created. They are still a small, struggling branch, but they have a good branch president. He was serving in the Sebring Ward bishopric when the branch was created.
They only have 4 children in Primary. In ward council, it was reported that the 2 young women who were going to go to girls camp have now cancelled because of a conflict with a drivers' education course they need to take. They had two young men in attendance.
The two Elders assigned to the branch are Spanish speaking, one is from Mexico. They provided simultaneous translation during Sacrament Meeting. During priesthood meeting, they divided the eight or so brethren who were there into companionships and sent them on "rescue visits" to inactives and recently moved in families. Renee said there were 7 sisters in Relief Society, and she guessed that she was the second youngest.
