Hey everybody and happy February!
The biggest highlight of our week was Lynn's baptism! He was baptized Saturday and confirmed Sunday and everything went really well! Forgive that fact that he didn't smile in the pictures, he's self conscious of his smile. :) It's been such a privilege to teach Lynn and see him actively using the Atonement in his life. Although he's afraid of relapsing with smoking, we've had to explain that that is why God sent His Son....we'll never be perfect in this life and we rely solely on grace to help us overcome our mistakes every day.
So there is one area in Huntsville called "the mountain" (really it's more like a hill...but to each his own)...there are only nice homes up there and they have really steep driveways! For us it seems like we're going hiking because of how steep and long the drive ways are, and there are lots of trees all around. The picture of the sunset is from one of the times we were tracting on the mountain. It's a bit of an adventure, plus we get to see really nice homes, so it's fun. :)
We got transfer news this past Saturday! Instead of having transfer meetings in Birmingham, and then finding out our new area/companion, a switch was made and we'll be going directly to our new area. I'm getting transferred to Russellville, AL and my new companion won't be so "new" -- it's my trainee, Sister Pyrah! She and I will be serving together as Sister Training Leaders!
We have been enjoying incredibly nice weather the past couple of days and I hope it continues! I'm ready for spring, and thankful that the winter wasn't too bad, considering we only got a couple of storms.
Hope everything at home is going well for you! Have a blessed week.
Love,
Sister Griffith

Hey, this is Andy, I met you on the street last week. I don't know if you remember me but we talked for quite awhile until it got dark. I had some more questions for you I wondered if it would be alright to correspond through email? If that's okay with you just send me a note to my email: lakeand1@gmail.com, thanks!
