Hello, hello family! 

This week went by so fast! But we definitely saw some miracles as always.

We had two exchanges this week so on Tuesday and Saturday I was here with other sister missionaries while Hermana Martinez went to train and help their companions.

One of the many miracles this week: There is a less active family who we've been visiting and giving service and teaching but they haven't come to church in a long time, years I think. Well on Saturday we were writing thank you cards and birthday cards and it came to my mind to drop something off at their house to remind them about church, even though they haven't come in forever. So I wrote a note saying that we've missed seeing them and we hope everything is going well, reminded them of the importance of church and even put a Book of Mormon scripture on the note. We dropped it off on our way to our next appointment. And they came to church! For the first time in a really, really long time! The Hermana got to meet the new Relief Society president and she invited her to some activities and the daughter got to meet the young women's president who also invited her to participate in some of the things the young women are doing. Notes work and miracles happen!

We found a new investigator this week, her name is Margarita and she told us that she wants to get baptized! She's come to church twice already and the last time, a member followed us there to pick her and her kids up and they were all in skirts and dress pants and it was just such a beautiful sight to see!

And I'm not sure if I've mentioned Edith before but she had stopped coming to church and stopped reading the scriptures and everything so we wrote her a letter to tell her how much she means to us and how great she is and how we are always here if she needs us. But we stopped visiting her because it was just not a good use of our time. Guess who walked into church yesterday!? Edith! With her kids! A day of miracles :)

So many more to tell you but I have to get off, the other missionaries don't have a computer to email so I'm going to get off but I love you and miss you all!

Love,

Hermana Granado
