Going day to day is wonderful, what wonderful exciting things
we can learn every day, everyday we have the opportunity to grow
and become better, maybe meet someone new or change a life, it is just amazing
what we can do in just one day. You got my letter? Awesome, I am glad
that you got it, I hope that you like it. Did McKady read hers? I hope it
helped, but I am grateful you got them and were able to read them, just
like everything else, writing helped me. I am glad you like the emails
too, I like to send them and let y'all know I am just doing great. I get
to talk to amazing people every day, which is just awesome. That is sad
that not as many are getting their calls or not going on missions...
pains me very much, the mission is for everyone! Everyone needs the
mission, the amount I have grown grown up (well that part idk;), I am
still a kid at heart ha:) but I am here to say that everyone needs a
mission, every male that graduates from high school needs to serve. It is
just the best, hardest thing I have ever done, but 100 percent worth
it.:)
But don't worry, I will take care of myself, other than the
millions of ants that decided to live in our apartment, don't worry we
will get them, that is what P-day is for!:) We killed a bunch of flies a little while ago, it was great, I made a hunting video with my
trophies.
Real fast, I just want to thank you all for the support, prayers examples, and everything! I love you all, I have the best family in the world! I want you to know you guys truly are my inspiration, when I am down I just remember my family loves me!!:)
Now
a little crazy story for you guys about what happened last night after
our branch council meeting, we were walking back to our area and got a
call from the other missionaries that the branch president got in an
accident on the way back; that is all we knew, so we went to the hospital. We got there and they didn't know exactly what had happened. But then the
other guy who was the accident came out and we talked to him for a minute, and he was
drunk, we could smell it. He said he was on his scooter and hit our president who was on his bike. President is like 70, but they said he was
okay. We didn't get to see him, but I am glad he is okay because he is a good guy,
funny too, he still can't say me and my companion's names, Grover and Trotter, he says Grotter and Trover, makes them sound the same so we
don't know what he is saying or who is talking to, we just have to guess. Oh, and
the guy who was drunk that hit him just walked out and like the police
weren't there or anything... in the states that would be super bad.
We had some investigators come to church, and right now we are working
with a great guy whose son is already baptized; but he needs to get married
and then he can be baptized, hopefully in the next week or 2. And
another one of our investigators she said she was on mormon.org all
night looking at stuff about the church, and she was asking us deep, deep
doctrinal questions. But she knows it is true and she shares it with
everyone. And another guy we are teaching, who is like 75 and Evangelist, or
what ever they are; he is interesting, but loved church and he cries
almost every time we talk to him. Wonderful, wonderful people who have
amazing spirits and strong faith.
I want to talk about the light
of Christ or the spirit of Christ, it is different then the Holy Ghost,
and we all have it. It enlightens us and gives us knowledge and brings
things to our remembrance. I don't know all about it, but I will study more on it
because it is very amazing. And then the gifts of the spirit, and how
amazing they are. We need to apply them more in our lives, my goal is to apply
some of them to better meet the needs of those I serve.
Well, I want to tell you I love you, and that God loves you also. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Love Elder Grover
