NO not General Conference but Branch Conference! SO this was not such an
eventful week only Saturday and Sunday so i will tell you what
happened. Saturday night President and Sister Oliveira came to Cáceres
to have the annual Branch Conference. Since this Branch is not part of a
stake it is part of the mission. President Oliveira oversees the Branches in the mission boundaries and deals with Cáceres and one other Branch. Saturday night we had a fireside and it was Amazing!! Sister
Oliveira talked about how the missionaries cant do everything and how
that members need to help. so wasn't sweet about it either, she got in
there faces and said that its time to get to work! Then Pres. Oliveira
did a Q&A session with all that was there! he answered there questions, doubts and talked about things that they needed to hear. It
was really good and I yes I learned a lot. then Sunday Came around and
they spoke again! WOW it was just as good! sister Oliveira talked about
how Cáceres has 4 fantastic missionaries that are doing the right thing
so stop calling them fubekas and
talking bad about them( the members have had problem with missionaries
in the past so they have really low confidence in the missionaries). She
said that we are doing as much as we can do but the members have to do
more because they live here!! it was a great talk.
Then President
Oliveira talked and open there eyes to somethings that need to change.
He called new members to new callings and hopefully this will make a
change! He also said that when he served his mission here this area his
mission president opened up this area 25 years ago! the Branch is the
same as it was when it opened. Sad right. He talked about a lot more
stuff but and it was great!! He is truly called of God. So that is my tid-bit for the week and hope you enjoy it!! I am doing great down here rand
keep pushing along! I love the members and the members love me!! i am grateful to be here and bring souls unto Christ. May the Lord bless you
with whatever you stand in need of! Stay warm and until next week!!
Love,
Elder Browning🐙
