Hermana Sandra Grindstaff, October 19 2009

> Hola Familia,
> Well, I have some good news. The woman that me and hna. Rogers found in Progreso (who when we found her was very distressed and talking about suicide) was baptized along with her family. (hna Rogers sent me the message). Not only them, but the daughter of a less active woman we found was or is baptized now. What miracles! It`s amazing to see how we are led to those who are ready to hear the gospel and to see the changes in their lives.
> This has been a busy week. Most of our investigators are not progressing too well, so we are working on finding those who we have been promised are ready to hear this message and accept it.(We have one investigator, who we found through a misunderstanding with some teenagers, who told us she wants to be baptized... but she has never come to church, so we`ll see). President Da Silva talked to us about completing all of our contacts and more, so that is what my companion are doing. We try not to let 5 minutes go by without talking to someone. Needless to say that by the end of a full day of talking and teaching we are pretty tired. We had one contact that was pretty funny. We were standing on the doorstep looking at the curtain in the windo that had enlish words on it. One of the words was wrong and I was busy pointing it out to my companion (we were both staring pretty intently at this writing) when all of the sudden a man came and yanked back the curtain really fast from the inside. We both jumped back and had a hard time talking after this. The man thought it was pretty amusing I think. We had a good laugh about it later.
> Our recent converts Yeila and Eduardo are doing great. We stopped by to talk to them this morning (and return their plate) and it brightened my day. We learned that the poor little kitten that me and my companion found and gave them two days ago died. :( We found this little shivering kitten by the side of the road and my companion just couldn`t stand to see it like that, so she insisted on giving it a home. Ahh, her heart is too soft. ha ha)
> I love you all, thank you for the Halloween stickers mom. They are really cute.
> I`m so grateful to have the family that I do and such amazing parents. Thank you so much for you examples, your prayers, and your faith. I know the gospel blesses families because it has blessed mine.
> I know this is the true church of our Savior Jesus Christ.
> I love you all,
> hna Grindstaff
> p.s. Elder (it`s way easier to just call you elder) Grindstaff, hooooola! :) make sure you wear those gloves!!!!
