We attended the meetings of the Beneva Branch today. This is the other Spanish-speaking branch in the stake. Of course, we were completely at a loss for understanding what was being said in the meetings. They did seem to appreciate our attendance though.
Following the block of meetings, they held their branch council. There are five full-time missionaries assigned to the branch, three Elders and two Sisters. Until the last transfer, they only had the two sisters. Two Elders were added, and then another was added on an emergency transfer. So with us, there were 7 missionaries in the branch council. We were matched by 7 branch members in attendance.
The branch president is trying to encourage more missionary work by the branch members. He said that the Lord has sent them additional missionaries, so the branch members need to get busy to develop contacts for the missionaries to teach. Hopefully they will.
