Released

Well today was an exciting day! Our branch presidency in Punta branch was released today so I am no longer the 2nd councilor. Brother Base, the previous 1st councilor, is now the branch president and he has a 1st councilor and soon will have a 2nd. I am really happy to see the progress that has been made in this branch and am really confident that the new branch president will do a great job. He is a fine young man. A year ago this branch was on the verge of being dissolved because there was so few worthy priesthood and so few attending but now there are ample priesthood holders without using full time missionaries and our attendance has gone from 60 or 70 to over 120. It's wonderful to see. Carissa branch also was reorganized today because the branch president was called as district president. The new President there is also a great guy. I'm kinda excited because I've had to focus most my attention on Punta and now I can go back to working with both Branches as both will need some training and seem to want our help. Several investigators at church today including Eric and Barbie. We love them!
