Thank you and Invitation

Dear friends and extended family,

I am back home and so grateful to be with my family again. Thank you for all of your prayers and the encouragment that you have given me in the past weeks and months.

This Sunday, the 27th of April, I will have the opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting, the most sacred meeting of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For any of you who will be in the area that day, I invite you to come to sacrament meeting to hear me speak and, most importantly, to remember our Savior. The meeting begins at 10:30 am at 16331 Hafer Road, just off 1960.

Thank you for your wonderful support!

Love,
Alicia Brighton

Dear wonderful family and friends,

I hope you all are doing great!

I just have a few moments to send a quick note and want to take the opportunity to list some of the things about my mission that I am so grateful for.

Wonderful examples of leadership

Relationships with companions, people I have taught, members of the church I have worked with

Strengthened testimony

Better understanding of how to pray

There is so much within each one of these categories. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve a full-time mission and learn how to be a servant of Jesus Christ.

I love you all!

Until soon,
Hermana Brighton

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your continued encouragement and prayers for me. I appreciate it so much, and my heart always overflows with gratitude whenever I reflect on my many associations  that enrich my life. Thank you for being you.

This week, we had some really wonderful opportunities to serve other people. Just little opportunities that came up, and I am really grateful that we always strive to talk with everybody, because if we didn't, we would have missed all of those opportunities.

General conference this weekend was a wonderful experience. I got to watch one of the sessions in Spanish with one of the people that we are teaching! Saturday afternoon. It was really neat. The other sessions I watched with my companion in English, which is always nice because you get to hear the actual voices of all of them. 

I am so grateful for the answers I received to questions I have and also to questions I didn't have but should have!

I hope that you all could also enjoy general conference, and if not, that you will check it out, or any sessions you might have missed atgc.lds.org.

I love you all so much and hope that you have an absolutely fantastic week! 

It's going to be a great one on my end!

Much love,
Hermana Brighton
