Mom!!!

Well, now I am 100% kicked out of the Great State Of Indiana! I know it is not all that far from there, but no joke, it is a completely different world out here! I was pretty much on the same level with the Hoosiers, and well, they are not Hoosiers over here! I guess you may want to know where over here is :) Well it took me forever to be able to say it, right (I think that was Elder Burden's fault) but anyways, I am in Wilmington, Ohio.  It is a really good thing that one of the other Missionaries in town served a transfer in my district a few transfers ago, ( Indy Missionaries have to support each other). I Hope I will be able to get use to things fast, but you know with the Lord I can do hard things, right! Well My Companion, Elder Burden, is from Southern California, so that is interesting! But that is not the hard part, I never thought I would have a ADHD Companion, but he is good when he is up on his Medication. I learned Yesterday that it's not good when he doesn't have it! But really, he is a good kid! He had a baptism this last Saturday, so that was cool walking in on, the other set did as well, so the Work is most definitely going on here, so that will be exciting! Man, it is sad that it's coming to the end of the sports season, I can feel it though, it has started getting colder here, Fall is here! It's really going to be weird having My Birthday out here, and being in a new place nobody knows me yet, so it should be fun! Anyways I'm doing good! I hope all goes well, remember I love you!

Love, Elder Jade Merlin Grover

Dear Mom, 

It sounds like a lot has been going on lately! Man, I remember how the last of things go! But guess what, then you get to move on and do bigger and better things, right? And don't worry Mom, Jens may be your last boy to grow up, but you've got a lot of little Grover's with different last names that you will be able to go and watch! And you know what, it won't be near as stressful as watching us, Right? But yeah, I know what you mean, if you remember me, I'm not a real huge fan of change.  But if I learn one thing from being on a Mission, it is that everything changes, and really you can't do anything about it! I guess on that note, Transfers are tomorrow, and well, I guess they thought me and Elder Channell have spent enough time together, I'm getting shipped out! If it is anything like last time I won't go very far! But I didn't realize it was going to be so hard to leave.  I really have been able to find some of my long lost family here, I'm going to miss them! And with that, I guess you should know that I will have to come back out, me and Elder Channell are supposed to come back for the Harsh's Girl, Brianna's, Baptism! This interesting little place has grown on me, haha! No, I'll restate that, the people in this interesting place have grown on me!

I guess on to the week, we had another really great Baptism, Sister Jordan's Testimony is so strong, she was able to take on her fears and follow the savior's example and enter the water! Another very spiritual experience! And I really believe this act is will be the start of a whole bunch of their family who will also come to know the truth! Then just last night we set a baptismal date with brother Harsh's Mom for the 13 of November! So yeah, the work here in Connersville is Booming!  I guess I did my part and don't get to be here for the rest of it! But the joy that came from here will always be with me! I'm Glad to Hear Lucy didn't Slow down! That wouldn't be like her right, she is just so awesome, I love that little Girl! I sure am Grateful for my wonderful family at home and the support you all give me.  I know that's how I have the strength to make it day to day! Keep the Faith, Love you Mom!

Love, Elder Jade Merlin Grover

PS What's your guess where I will be headed? You know how it is, I have no idea where I will be!

Indiana - October 7, 2013

Holy Cow! That wasn't just a Crazy weekend, It sounds like it was a really bad one! It's good to hear that Lucy is doing okay now though, I sure love that little Girl! Tell her that I love her, and am praying for her to get better fast! I Know that God Protected her, and from this He will bring strength for her to heal and growth and strength for the Family as they Go to God for help!  I bet The Grover House nice and Crazy with kids running around, I sure do miss all of them. It's Most definitely a lot calmer here though, Things kinda slowed down a little after our Amazing 3 weeks, but I guess that's what you get when you Baptize all your investigators!  We do Have a Baptism Coming up this week, But she is actually our second councilor in The Bishopric's Mom. And she is pretty much a Member, she has Two callings, or assignments you could say, but she never has been Baptized! She has a phobia with water, but through some recent Events she wants to give it a go!  So, we didn't teach her, well once last Week, but other then that she had us over for dinner a couple time like a Member would do! So lots and Lots Of Miracles Here in Connersville! Conference was great though, the best was Watching it with our recent Converts! On Saturday it was us, The Harsh's, Sandy and Kids at the Church! Very inspirational as well, and it was cool to have the variety of different accents of different people too, this is most defiantly a world wide church, and Growing! But yeah, things are good here! Hold in There at Home, I always have you all in My Prayers! Always be strengthening your testimony and Faith in Christ, as mentioned in several talks in Conference, Through Christ he will help us through the trials we have to overcome! Keep the Faith, I love you much!

Oh, and Thank you so Much for sending the Article that Jens was in! It made Me all Excited for his Efforts and Hard work; You are a stud Man Keep it up! But always Remember To thank the Lord for all he does, it is Him that gives us everything! Again, Thank you Mom for all you do, I love you!

Love, Elder Jade Grover

Indiana - September 30, 2013

Hello, Hello!

Things are going really well here in good old Connersville, Indiana! Do you want to know a funny? You know how I got called to a place with the same name as my horse, that didn't click before coming out, but I realized it a couple times while I have been out.  But Dads letter telling me about their Trip up to the Mountain with the Horses and the Rain, Man those times make the Best Memories! But yeah, I'm in Indy right now, and My horse back at home is named Indy! I just thought I would tell you while I had that thought come to my head. But it is always wonderful to hear about what's happening back at home! Sounds like the sports are holding up well. I got the Pictures of Jens and Mckady, I'm so proud of their hard work! Keep it up, I'm Cheering for you, sorry you can't hear me! But really, Amber has Been Trying to send Me E-mails, yeah, nothing has come through, does the Computer not know she is my sister? Maybe you will have to be the Middle man again - I did get the Track Camp Pictures, that was supper cool! Man, It sounds like Missionary work in Utah is Going Crazy! 4 sets in Blanding, Wow! I guess it will hit us too someday, haha, jk it is. My old area Got another set, but it was a little bigger city than I am in now, but it's still bigger than Blanding, What do they do with such little proselyting areas? I guess I just have to Remember that everything is different in Utah! But, it is increasing here too. I still Can't comprehend more than one set in Blanding, sounds like the members have a lot to do there now! We are hoping to Get another set here someday, just our one set is covering 3 little Cities bigger than Blanding, and we can't ever get out to the other ones because they Took our Full time car away:( but that was really good to, I was finally able to get back on my bike! Anyways, lots and lots to do, and More and more is needed, the work of Salvation is amazing isn't it? Anyways, thanks for all you Do for me, Love you Mom!!! 

Love Elder Jade Grover

P.S. Yeah, I Got last Weeks e-mail with the Pictures and stuff, Just not when I was on last week! And, I wrote this just before I got yours today. I don't always know when We will come on Mondays, Elder Channell likes to fly by the seat of his pants.  He sure is helping me learn a lot though, if you know what I mean. And about Halloween, I don't know what I'm going to do out here with out a big Party, you all will just have to do all the fun stuff for me back at home! And of Course Report:)
