Today we attending the Cortez Branch, a Spanish-speaking branch that meets in Bradenton. In the branch council, Sisters Jahnel and Bryan translated for us. However, for the rest of the meetings, they were with investigators and they should have been. That meant we were on our own. In Priesthood Meeting, they asked one of the branch members to translate for me so I could follow along with the lesson.
Many of the members speak and understand Spanish, so we could talk with them between meetings. I understand that they conduct their Primary in English because the children prefer English to Spanish. I guess the adults want to maintain their Spanish. And there are some branch members who do not understand English.
The Sisters told us there were 10 investigators, including children, in attendance. Obviously this is good news. The other good news, at least for us, is that they meet on the 1 pm block. And the Bradenton chapel is only 30 minutes from our apartment.
