Hello Mom!

Things here are Great!!! Guess what, we got to hear from an apostle yesterday! Yeah, pretty crazy to have two apostles come to your Mission. Of course it wasn't to the very same Mission, it was two different Missions, but you know, I'm in a different Mission than the one I was in back in March. Yeah, I got to take my first trip to the Ohio, Elder Oaks was in Cincinnati calling a new stake president for one of the Cincinnati stakes and wanted to talk to the Missionaries before having to fly out! It was absolutely amazing! We are lead by true Prophets, without a doubt, and this is God's Church restored to the Earth and nothing Can stop the work from Progressing. What a wonderful time to be living, and what a wonderful opportunity To be involved is such a wonderful work. Well, Transfers are next week, so the schedule of things may be a little Messed up, or may yet even be completely different, who knows. But, I think that both me and Elder Channel will be here another transfer, after talking with President a few weeks ago at Zone conference. It sounded like there was something we have yet to accomplish here. But, if that's not so, I'll tell you where I am at next Wednesday. There is much to be done here, that is for sure, and I know with the Lord's help we will find it! It's good to hear about the rain at home; just a little late for summer time, but I guess we cant complain with what we get, right? I know God will bless those who trust in Him. And holy cow, yes time is flying, already fall! But you know, we'll make it, after the cold it always gets warm. Through the dark hard times, Christ's light will always come to warm and comfort us as we trust in Him and the sacrifice He did for us!  Keep the Faith, Love ya Mom!

Hello Mom!!! and Family!

Well, it sounds like things here are most definitely not as Crazy as it sounds like things are back at home! I'm not sick, nor so I have blisters on my feet, so I must be doing good! I did have a little bit of a runny nose earlier in the week, but I'm just doing so good nothing can get ahead of me! I guess I better knock on wood, it might catch up with me! The work is going really well though, we are teaching a young lady, and we finally were able to get her out to the church last week for a tour and scripture class, but we still weren't able to get her there on Sunday! She had gotten all ready and everything, but the ride we had for her called before and some guy picked up and told them that she was busy and would not be able to come to Church today! Yeah, the rest of the people in her crazy house and circumstance of living don't like the church very much. We also were teaching a quadriplegic guy, one of the recent converts' sons, but he has been sick lately and we haven't been able to see him lately.  But back when we started teaching him, while his parents were on vacation somewhere, he drove his wheel chair all the way to church, like over 2 miles. Wow!  Very good guy though! The ward is small, but the people are really good people, I hope that we will be able to help them and get the ward up and growing!

I hope that everything goes well with everyone back at home! Make sure Jens gets healthy, we can't have any more of that being sick stuff, he's got some football to play! Keep pushing forward though and stick close to the Lord and He will help provide! If I only learn one thing, that's it, no matter how hard it gets the Lord will always help us through, if we but give it to him. I hope that you can get those feet of Mckady's healed up so she can get out there running with the Grover name! But through it, all remember the most important thing is to make sure we continue to strengthen our faith in Christ all the time and He will bless us and help us through it all! Remember I love you and pray about you all, very often! Love you Mom!

Hello there Mom and Family

 Holy cow is time going Fast? Just a few more days and I'll be out 7 months!  Crazy, before you know it you will have to deal with grouchy old Jade again, along with everyone else :)  But I'm glad that I was missed over the weekend, I sure missed being there! The animals and the fair are just part of me, it would be very hard to get it out of me!  So even if you have a rough year here and there, the memories that are made by the kids make up for it all! So, how is having a big old Senior Football player around? Tell him to remember to have fun in all he does, it goes way too fast.  Then, before you know it you are out a few miles from home trying to talk to people that don't always really like you very much; but there are those that have been prepared and are just waiting, we just have to be obedient and faithful and we will be able to find them and help them on their way to Christ, and his Gospel. Its way exciting, the wave is making it out this way! In our stake they are planing to have two or three sets of Missionaries in every ward, and they are trying really hard to get the members out and involved as much as they possibly can. Things are just going to explode, it's so wonderful. The reason you haven't got any info from the mission may be because they are way too busy with their numbers, I really don't know what they need them all for. Back in the old Mission we only had to report our weekly actual numbers, then we had to report twice a week, then every day, and now they just added reporting all of our Goals too! And when we don't have good enough goals we get  a call asking why, just a little irritating! But that's what our leaders want us to do and they know what's best. I hope that all is well at home, and that all will go well with school and everything coming up! I am doing well; crazy, but I guess that is how life is everywhere, right! Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful day, Love you Mom!!!

Love, Elder Jade M. Grover

Good Morning from Indy!

Oh, fair week! It's crazy, but it still is something that I looked forward to every year, even if I was a little immature a few of the years! But what can you say, the past is in the past, and we are in the present so lets make the most of it!  And you know I loved working with the animals! I would be right there doing what I did before in a heartbeat! I guess I shouldn't have spoiled you as much as I did though:) Don't worry too much, it will all work out, it may be crazy but you know what, that is how memories are made so just have fun! And, of course pray and God will always be with you all the way through it! I know that with out a doubt!  That right there with patience through the crazy times and lots and lots of prayers, that is how I survive. We sure need to get that whole going off feed thing figured out, it seems like we have a lot of problems with that, don't worry, we'll get her down one day! But it will be great! So I guess I don't know how many animals we have in it this year? Do we have all the grand kids thick in it? You have to remember to send me a few picture so I don't have to feel completely left out, you know! But, you remember to take care of yourself mom, don't let all the stresses be too much, go into it with a smile and all will be good! Remember that I love you, and thanks for all you do for me! I am so grateful to have a wonderful mom like you!  

Love Elder Grover

P.S. I'm doing well, don't worry about me! The work is great!
