Elder Grondel reported today again. He is doing very well. He and his companion Elder Tueller have been working very hard. They have had some disappointments with some of their investigators and they have had some real success stories.
He writes on Monday June 22, 2009 this: I wish that I had greatest news to tell you but I don't. This week has been a hard one with investigators. David Wyatt and Christy dropped us this week. and Jessica did not come to church so she will not be getting baptized this week, which Sucks because we talk to President and he said she can be Baptized in 3 weeks and that is next transfer and I am most likely going to be gone. And she has asked me to baptize her. So I am kind of bumbed about that.
The upside is you would be so proud of me. I bought a new suit and shoes for 16 bucks. Haha it was so sweet and the suit fits me perfectly. Now I just need to buy a brown belt to go with my shoes, I've been using Elder Tuellers belt this past week.
Speaking of him we are doing great. I am glad to have him as my companion. We have fun doing the work.
So we went to the Rodeo this week. That was so fun, not as cool as the ones back home. But it was fun. It rained like crazy right before it started so the field was all muddy and wet. But it made it that much better. Talked to a Drunk Guy for 20 mins. about nothing really it was really fun. He offered me and Elder Tueller a beer like 6 times and after the 6th we gave in HAHA JK, of course we didn't but it was fun.
Well that's all that's happened this week Like I said not a great week with investigators but I'm doing very well. I love you so much Mom keep being who you are Love you
