Branch President of the Spanish Branch

February 5th I was set apart as President of the Spanish Eugene 9th Branch.  I am amazed at the confidence the Lord must have in me.  I don't remember much of the language. I don't know anybody in the branch. I have never been in any leadership position other than Ward Mission Leader before.  It is all a bit overwhelming.  I was told not to worry, just love them.  I said that I can do that.  I guess I will just stumble forward and stay confused.  So far it is really stressful but I am exercising faith that with time that will wear off.

We had a wonderful Branch Temple trip and a record number of people came.  A non-member joined us and he felt the spirit so strong that this coming Sunday he will be baptized.
