Today
we went to church with the branch missionaries. We met the branch
president, President O'Campo, and he knew Keith's father when he was the mission president here in the Osorno Mission. He was one of his
missionaries. He recognized Keith a little and then looked at his name
badge and recognized the name. He asked if we knew Dad and was surprised
that Keith said he was his son! He thought your grandfather was
wonderful! The branch president mentioned it in sacrament meeting and
another lady came to talk with us about Keith's mother who taught her how
to lead music! The meeting was fast and testimony meeting so I could not
understand anyone, of course. We went to the gospel essentials class, and
I could follow along with my English manual on my tablet and the Espanol manual
in paper. I even read a paragraph in Spanish! It was halting but
understandable according to Dad. However, Relief Society was the hardest.
The lesson was about broadening your life (I think, from the hand
gestures and a few Spanish words), not just doing one thing, like school, but
trying music, etc., also to widen you horizons. Now she did not use these
words but that was the gist as far as I could tell. Then there were
testimonies which I did not understand at all. Oh well, I will get
better with Spanish! :)
