What up family!!!!

Thanks for the package, it was great!  I love the t-shirt, it fits great! And the fruit snacks are da bomb!!!!

That's awesome to hear that Jade will be getting his call! I am super stoked for him, maybe he will be called to the Sacramento Mission, it is the best in the world, ha-ha! No I am going to stick with India.

We had a baptism this Wednesday of Christian Nybo; we are happy for that and  hope all goes well with him! We have had an increase in our teaching pool, and have hope for all of them. We had a crazy day at church: #1 - 5 Investigators, but lots of them believe differently than us on homosexual relations and so they were discussing that. Some of them believe that God's ways will change and soon people of the same sex can be sealed in the temple, gross right? It was a part member family that just moved here. Anyway, a recent returned member who had been excommunicated, and was just re-baptized, spoke up and told it how it was. It was cool, remind me to tell you about it in full detail sometime. I am grateful for the knowledge that God has given us from the beginning of time on the sanctity of marriage, and for true prophets and apostles, and members in the church that stand strong in the gospel.

Love you all and wish you the best,

Love Elder Grover

Dear Family!

So we had transfers and I am staying with Elder George. We are excited, we have been seeing baptisms and lots of people come unto Christ, so we are happy. We had a baptism last week of Jordan Moore and we have another one in two weeks, his name is Christian Nybo; we are reactivating his mom, he is only 9, but really cool. Things are going good here, it is crazy lots of my mission buddies are going home this week, and the sisters from my district in the MTC will all be going home, it makes me feel like the time is going by too fast! Elder George will be going home after this transfer, so I hope I don't get trunky, haha! That is the goal for the transfer, stay focused, haha. Don't worry, I will :). We got to go to the temple today which is always a neat experience.

So Jade will be serving in India :) that is my guess. He is a hard working kid, so it will be good for him. I know mom, you want all your kids to go in the states; you got me to stay here, but I think Jade is going out of the states, haha :) 

Everyone keep your head up! Keep working hard, the blessings will continue to come and God will bless you, his plan is so incredible!

Dear Family!!!!!! 

How are you? It is good to hear all that is going well back in B-Town with football new babies on the way.  I thought that I would go my whole mission without any new additions, but there will be 3 new ones, that is super crazy. Jade could be gone on his mission by the time I get back, which would be sad that I wouldn't be able to see him, but it would be awesome to have him go out and do the greatest thing in the world. Probably spanish speaking right, haha? Or maybe he will go to India or something like that, but it is cool either way. Jade, know that now satan is going to try to stop you from going, but just resist him; go to deseretbook and buy a mini Preach My Gospel, yeah a mini, and it is only 4$, they rock, haha! I got one and I love it! We should be having a baptism this Tuesday if all goes well. We hope that all goes well and all those involved can get work off, we should find out today, but if not he will be baptized this weeekend, so no worries. Can you believe that this is week six of the transfer? Yeah, how crazy! We will have transfers this coming week, how crazy is that?

 

I love you all and wish you the best!

Hello Family!

I am doing good here, we have a baptism coming up next week of a 12 year old kid named Jordan, and then hopefully some more after that, but we will see.  They just made lots of changes here in the stake, adding the new spanish ward, but all is good and the work will go forth; we are seeing many blessings.

I hope all is well back at home and that you are all safe and happy and that you are staying busy as usual and having fun. I wish you a Happy Labor Day.  I figured you had plans and were busy, so I hope that all is well. Remember I love you and so does our loving Heavenly Father!
