Hi Mom!

How are you? It was so good to be able to talk to you yesterday! Everyone sounds like they are getting so big. I'm so glad that D came and made you breakfast. I'm sure Matt's talk was great!

 The Ward here is great! They are so excited to have sisters serving in the ward. They have 5 missionaries out serving right now. They have some sisters in the ward that are getting ready to put in their papers. All of the sisters in the ward are so excited to go out teaching with us. We are still working on finding people to teach. We met a woman, named Della, who has been out of the church for many years. She told us that she wants to come back to church. We started reading the Book of Mormon with her and she wants us to teach her the lessons. We are excited to teach her! We are also going to be teaching a recent convert/less active. She got baptized less than a year ago but she hasn't been very consistent at coming to church. She has a lot of health issues. We are excited to teach her too. Both of these ladies are very sweet!

 We are trying to get to know the ward members. We were walking in the rain the other day and some members stopped and picked us up. We had a car fast, which means we didn't use our car for the day. We are doing car fasts to help us find more investigators. We met a man that is very concerned about how families are being brought up. He wasn't interested in taking the lessons but we are going to give him a family proclamation.

 I think I might try and buy a rain coat and maybe some rain boots. I'm going to look around here and I'll let you know if I find anything. You can send me a flower skirt.

  My companion is learning lots. I can't wait to be able to teach more with her. The gospel is true!! We are part of the marvelous work that is hastening.  I was reading in Jacob 5 this week and trying to apply it to now. I feel so blessed to be able to help prune the Lord's vineyard in the last days! I hope I can be the missionary that the Lord needs me to be! I love you!! Have a great week!

   Love,

    Sister Griffin
The first picture is the lobster waiting to be eaten. It was ok. It wasn't as fishy as I thought it was going to be. 

The second picture is me holding the shell of the lobster. I got all the meat out of the lobster and then I ate it.

The third picture is Sister Taylor and me after walking home in the rain. It's hard to tell be we are pretty wet.
