Dear Family,

Hello from snowy Wisconsin!! :) The heavens have opened and have finally blessed us with snow - I am loving it!!! Who knew that Sister Brinton could be a cold weather girl?? (Don't worry Arizona, nothing will take the place of your heat in my heart.)

As a heads up I will no longer be e-mailing siblings, only the family e-mail to Mom and Dad that will be forwarded to everyone. Our Mission President has asked that we only e-mail parents and then handwrite the rest of our family members. So siblings, help a (/your) sister out and please e-mail me your home address! :) Thank you!

We are seeing miracles happen. A family we started teaching in December has come to church for the past several weeks in a row; they are praying together as a family, reading the Book of Mormon and are working towards baptism. Just by walking into their home, you can feel the difference. The Spirit is there and their family is stronger - they have grown so much, in only a few weeks. They are growing in their faith in the Lord and He is blessing them for their efforts. It's been so amazing to watch the change that has come into their lives. Our faith in Christ - believing and taking action - really does help us grow. I've seen it and felt it.

What miracles - I love getting to be a missionary and I love being here.

Hope you all are doing well! I love you.

Love,

Sister Brinton
