Thank you for helping me

[A letter from Andrea dated 2 FEB 10]

To My Dear Ward Family,
Hi Everyone! I would just like to thank each and every one of you for your love and support. I can feel your prayers supporting me every day, Thank you for helping me to learn the gospel and to gain a testimony. I know this church is true, God is real and He loves us more than we can even imagine. I KNOW that. I see miracles everyday that proves it. There is no way that anything I could say could have changed a shy and reserved man, into a man who is so cheerful and happy that he dances down the halls at church. To have such a change come over someone in just four weeks is incredible. Now that same man begs us to allow him to accompany us to teaching appointments. If there is anything that I would ask of you it would be to help the missionaries. Go out to teach with the Elders. The testimony of a member can be the turning point in saving a soul. When an investigator has a friend to sit with at church, they are more likely to come. I know how blessed I am to come from such a missionary-minded ward. Keep up the good work, but keep stretching. If there is one thing I have learned so far, it is that there is always more we can do. It is the little things that count. Invite someone to come to Family Home Evening. The worst they could do is say no. :)

Anyway, thank you for everything!
!La quiero mi familia!
