Dear family and friends,

Well this first week of the transfer has been marvelous. Just fantastic! I hope that you all also had a wonderful week. (:

So my new companion, Hermana Rawson, is wonderful. She has been here in the Santa Rosa Mission just six week more than me and we get along great. We are very much on the same page and both just want to give the work we're doing all we've got. We've been exhausted at the end of every day. I love it!

So this week we had an appointment with a man named Mario who I had met the week before with Sister Hernandez when he was working outside of his house. He lives with his wife and their 10-month-old newborn in an apartment behind his mom's house. We taught him and his wife about the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and about the Book of Mormon, and they were really interested and asked a lot of questions and have sincere desires to learn for themselves what is the truth. The mom especially told us she wants the kind of peace and direction we talked about for her son.

It was awesome! We also found a lot of other new people to start teaching this week. It was miraculous!!

Also...this week I tried eating grasshoppers! They're not too bad! Especially seasoned with limon y sal.

Well, things are going great! I appreciate your love and prayers! Have a fantastic week!! I know Heavenly Father is always there for us and loves us so very much. As we turn to Him, he truly changes us. He's changing me, and it feels great!

Love,

Hermana Brighton
