The sign reads "Captain Moroni Tree, 2.400 years old"  This is the district (group of missionaries) that Hermana Brighton is part of. They had a service project in the Redwoods. Dear Family and Friends, Hello! I hope that you all are doing fantastically. Thank you for your support, especially your prayers on my behalf. I have been so blessed and so happy in this week. Sister O. and I are working hard and seeing great miracles here in Napa. This Saturday, both Hisa and Max were baptized. It was wonderful to see how happy each of them was as they took this first step on the path to eternal happiness and joy. Almost all of Saturday was taken up with preparations for the baptism: we met Max to try on his white clothes in the morning, then we had to be back at the church to start filling the font at 3 pm. There was another baptism at 4:30, then Max was baptized at 5:30 and Hisa at 7. So we had a busy day!! With the extra time in the middle of the day, we were able to find a couple of people who we will be going back to teach later this week, and we also had time after Hisa's baptism to go and teach a couple of young boys who are members of the church but haven't been coming to church for a while. We read from the Book of Mormon with them about the miracle of the 2,060 young warriors whose faith and obedience preserved every single one of them from death. I love working hard in the service of the Lord all day, every day. It is such a blessing to be a missionary, and I am learning to look to the Lord in the times that are hard, for example when nobody is home and when people don't want to make the changes that would bless them so much. I've sent some pictures from the Missionary Training Center and from the camp the week before last. I'll also try to send pictures from the baptisms. Thank you again for your support and encouragement. I hope you all are enjoying your week and remembering the love and care that our Heavenly Father has for you in every moment. I know he gives each of us miracles every day as we ask for them in faith. When we look, we'll recognize those great blessings! Much love, Hermana Brighton
