February 2, 2015

Hey family! Happy February! I cannot believe how fast time is going!

We got transfer news this morning and both me and Hermana Jaynes are staying here in Redlands/Highland. I love this area so I'm glad I'm staying and Hermana Jaynes has been teaching me a lot and I'm glad I'll get to finish her training!
 
We've been trying to do more service in our area. We're still teaching our English class which is... interesting! I love our little class. Also this week we were able to help one of the hermanas in her garden, it sounds like a piece of cake but we did some work! I have a whole new appreciation of all the stuff Papa did in the yard. It looks nice and pretty but it's some dirty work! I discovered a new dislike for worms that I didn't know I had. Not exactly a fear but we're definitely not friends.

We also had a really fun activity with our branch on Friday night! We had a movie night at the church! We invited everyone - members, investigators, people on the street, everyone! They even rented a popcorn machine and we had hot dogs and nachos and a projector and surround sound for the movie. We watched the Testaments which is about Jesus Christ but with other stories too. It's hard to describe but it's really good! There were probably around 80 people that came and everyone really liked it! It was a hit!

This coming week one of the people I taught in Indio is getting baptized so hopefully I'll be able to find a member willing to drive me out there so I can see her baptism! Keep your fingers crossed! It always feels so good to see someone taking that step in their life and seeing how happy they are and to know you were a little part of that. It's the best!

Hope you guys have a great week, love you and miss you all!

Love,
Hermana Granado

These two lovely ladies got baptized on Saturday! I met them when I very first got into the area and they weren't interested in hearing our message at all! But we worked a little with them and the elders in the branch taught them and they decided to be baptized because they've been coming to church and they've really changed a ton! They're so happy with their decision and all the changes they've been able to make and I am just happy to be a little part of it! The elders did most of the work and their mom is a member and gave them a great example and we all worked as a team on these girls! Love them!
