My Mothers Day visit was so awesome. It was great to hear Elder Grondel's voice and feel his excitement for his work.
He just had another baptism this past week. The Baptism was for Jordan Vaiolatama-Kelemete. just some of his letter" We need to keep teaching him a few more things like the commandments and also put his service together. He is a Happy Boy. But not all the time, especially when he is hungry. He said that his famous line is "I'm Hungry"
He is currently working with an African Family with 2 little girls and a son and the Mom does not speak very good English but they are trying to help her understand. The girls want to be baptized, but Mom needs to know more. They keep coming to church and they Love the church. So we are going to keep working with them so that they can all be baptized together as a Family. And that would be Fantastic.
JaeHeon Kim, He is our Korean Friend. He is Reading the Book of Mormon trying hard to understand it because it is written in old school Korean. He's still not sure if Jesus is his Savior. That is going to be the big break. Its hard to know or even Comprehend who God is Let alone he Has a Son who died for us. But we are making progress, and his English is getting better.
Another big focus is the Less-Active members and we are just having fun meeting more and more Lost Sheep and learning more about them. I have Learned a lot about the Native American culture, we had Indian Tacos the other night. I felt so Dumb when I called the them Navajo tacos Ha Ha. but its all the same. We have a lot of part member families and one in particular This Lady her Husband is from Eveleth. That was in the Virginia Ward. So I have making an effort to get into their home. Whats crazy is the Husband comes to church like every week, so there is good potential. So we shall see.Yea things are going well. We are doing good Elder Brown is a good guy we have some things of interests in common so things are going smooth. Just working hard and staying positive. Love Blayne
This we most of Elder Grondel's last letter. We appreciate all those that care for him and write and send packages as well.
