We had a good week. We had two big branch parties over the weekend. We celebrated Independence Day on Friday and then there was a quinceañera on Saturday. So we were handing out invitations and inviting people like crazy. We had a goal of getting a hundred people to the party on Friday and we had a lot of less actives come and a bunch of investigators. So that was really awesome. We probably had about 90 people there. So it was really great.
We ended up doing a little dance for the party. Everyone was all excited about doing a dance and then no one actually wanted to dance. Everyone they asked to do it said they were going to be out of town during the party. And then they showed up for the party anyway. So we did a little dance. We didn't really get to practice but it went alright.
The only problem was that people seemed pretty partied out by the end of the week and church attendance was sparse for the branch this week. There were probably 30 at sacrament. It was good though. I was the final speaker this week. President told me to prepare 15 ish minutes but to be ready to extend it or shorten it dramatically because you never really know how long people are going to talk in the branch. The lady before me went on for a long time so I ended up shortening it to about a four minute talk. It was about he Book of Mormon so it wasn't really a hard talk to give.
Mannuel is in Mexico right now getting his girlfriend and his kids to bring them here. He's getting back tonight. So we'll be excited to see him again tomorrow. President is going to come with us to talk to them about getting married. So hopefully all goes well with that.
It's been going great!
