This week was so good! Well, I always say that... but it's because they're always so good!

Let's start with the most important. On Saturday we had a mission-wide conference. Those are my favorite! Elder Nielsen of the 1st Quorum of the Seventy came. He shook all of our hands and asked us where we're from and all that good stuff. Then he spent almost 4 hours speaking to us and instructing us. It was probably one of the best mission conferences I've had. He is definitely an inspired man. It was also bittersweet to see all the missionaries that I love and serve with for the last time. Since we are all in different areas now, I don't get to see them except on occasions like that. So we said our last goodbyes and all.

This coming weekend is General Conference. We have it twice a year and it is when the Prophet and Apostles speak to all of us! It will be on Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th of April. It will be broadcast on BYU-TV and streamed online. Elder Nielsen that came to speak to us on Saturday will be speaking in General Conference this coming Sunday! That is usually not information that is given out, we usually don't know who will be speaking or when but he let us know so that we could tell our families! So if you get a minute, I'd love it if you could all watch it and look for him. Then when you see Elder Brent Nielsen get up, just know that I shook his hand the other day and talked to him - pretty cool stuff.

Then, Saturday night was another conference, this time for all the women ages 8+. It was so good! They put a lot of emphasis on the family and defending family values, it of course made me think of you all. I am so grateful for all of you and your love and support, thank you for everything!

Other than that, it's been a pretty normal week. We're trying to get Hermana Ipson accustomed to the area so that she'll be ready to take over in a few weeks! We've had a lot of success this week and I know it's because of all your thoughts and prayers and our faith and diligence. 

 

Every blessing we receive from Heavenly Father is according to our diligence, obedience and faith! So keep that up and you'll see the blessings flow in!

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!

Love,

Hermana Granado
