In the past, church service has been a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and blessings. I feel that our most resent calling will also prove to be a blessing in the life of our family. We have been asked to move our records and attend and serve the Spanish Branch.
It comes with many mixed emotions. It's almost like a mission call from our own home. I am excited about the opportunity and humbled by the responsibility.

Wow - that's quite the call! Good luck with that. I'm sure your family will be a great example to the members of the Spanish Branch.
My parents just got done with doing that! They loved it and it was bittersweet for them when they got released! You will be great!
We did that! It was awesome. But I admit I didn't feel quite the same at first. It was a little lonely for awhile. The food is great. The parties are great. And the people as so glad you are there. I loved that I could sing the hymns and know what they meant even without knowing the language. I still love "Amad a Otros" (sp?!??). Good luck. I have got tons more to say about that and tons more advice to offer. One is that most of them understand English better than they speak it. So I think they assumed I was the same with Spanish (which I totally was not!) As soon as I admitted that I didn't, the ladies were all so kind to help (that was about the time we got released).
Wow, you'll do great. But I understand that it might be a hard adjustment at first. How cool! You guys are amazing!
