Hey family!

February is halfway over! How crazy is this! Time is going so fast! This week we did lots of service which was so fun! I love giving service in the community and helping all the people we teach, it's my favorite! Hopefully that will carry over after my mission.

This will probably be a short one because we don't have much time to email since yesterday was a holiday and all. Promise I'll try better next time.

We also had a really good zone meeting which helped us get refocused and doing the things that matter most in our areas to help those around us. Then this week we have Zone Conference coming up which is the meeting that our mission president is in charge of. So I'm sure we'll learn even more from him about the things we can do to keep the work going strong!

I don't think I can tell you guys enough how much I love the people here. That was hard for me at the beginning of my mission - to love the people. Especially because of the language barrier and the fact that I've just met them. But throughout my mission I've worked really really hard to learn Spanish to dissolve that barrier and be able to get to know them and I've prayed and asked Heavenly Father to be able to feel the love that He has for them. It has been such a cool experience to see and feel that prayer be answered. There are people here that I don't know very well and I don't spend much time with but I can just feel the pure love that God has for them and it is such a blessing to be able to feel that. I love my job and being able to talk to these people about the things that matter most in life is just such a great opportunity. 

Hermana Jaynes and I are doing well too, we're working hard to help her feel more comfortable in the area and talk with the people more so that they get to know and trust her too. I know we're companions for a reason and I know that every single companion I've had has been for a really good reason. There hasn't been one that I haven't learned from, even if it meant learning something about myself. I have loved all of my companions and I'm so blessed to have gotten to know them.

 

Love,

Hermana Granado

Since I always talk about my little English class, thought maybe you'd like to see the wonderful people we work with!
