News From Elder Grondel

Elder Grondel has been transferred to Virgina Minnesota. He is serving with Elder Brooks. He says that he is happy to have him as his Companion. In fact he says that they are like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Before leaving his old area of Buffalo he was able to have the Baptism for Mr. Ramin. He was very sad that they were not able to baptise Jessica. Other things became more important to her then the Church but the seed was planted.

we need dinner appointments Please !!!!

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

Hey Look its my Mom....WHOPPIE - Little Rascals

Whats Going on Mom? How are you doing? Hows work going? Have you gone crazy with the kids yet? I would. How's the family doing? Thats good to hear about your Bodybugg! Thats good I've been working out so my upper body is getting Big = But I still don't have my Abs back. But I'm working on it.
So I'm doing pretty good. This week we have 6 new Gators, so thats really good. We have one Gator with a date set. But there are things that might stand in the way, but i hope and pray for her. Her name is Jessica. If you can pray for her. We have an investigator name Christy, and she reminds me of you sometimes but she so funny cause she said that she can't say Love but she adores me. Ha And I think she is coming a long pretty well in the gospel. But she is pretty fun and she said that even if she doesn't get baptized she would want me to come and visit her. But I hope and pray that she gets baptized. And remember Chris and Dave. Our Gators who are a little rough around the edges? Well, they are crazy. they like us to come over and talk to them but they still are with the world. I'll put it that way cause they are just too crazy.
Anyways this Sunday they are forming the New Stake. St. Cloud. And my area is apart of that so it should be really cool. It will be my first time seeing a new stake come about.
This past week its been pretty cloudy and rainy. Its ok but I do miss the sun. Me and Elder Tueller are getting along real well. Its fun having him as a comp.
Well I hope that you enjoy this letter. This week has been good and we are working hard and having fun. I see Miracles everyday its Amazing. I Love you Mom.
