Grandma & Grandpa - Aug 25

Dear Elder Grandson,

We so enjoyed hearing from you last week. So glad things are going better.  How was this past week? Did the car work out better for you? Now if they would get you a better place to live and closer to town.

 

I have a strong testimony of prayer.  When in doubt on anything or need guidance, pray.  God is always there for you.  Did you have any new contacts this week or get to teach many lessons?  I know you will be guided to those special people God has chosen for you. Keep working hard and follow mission rules and everything will fall into place.

We kept Andi and Aiden last week only four days.  It was mainly Andi as Aiden has friends he is always going with and being older he doesn't have much here at Grandparents house to do. 

Grandpa and I went to the VA in Houston on Wednesday and saw your family except Maddie was with a friend and went swimming. Friday I took Larry to St. Luke's Hospital in Houston for a procedure to look in his stomach. They removed a polyp and said the other thing was a fatty tumor and they weren't going to do anything. So all is well.

This week we hope to get some work done on the house.  It is supposed to rain a lot though, so we will see.

Not much else going on.  We love and miss you. Did you get what I sent you? We haven't found any shirts for you yet but will work on it Monday.

Love you lots,

Grandpa & Grandma

Grandma and Grandpa,

We had a great past week. We served lots of people this past week and we had 8 lessons with investigators. The car has been wonderful to us. The other missionaries drive over there allowed amount of miles so we don't have too many miles to work with but it still helps out. Also the family we are living with have been taking good care of us. :) He showed us his homemade fridge safe and some of his cool toys. They made us some homemade ice cream last night and it really hit the spot. Thank you for the letter and the money. I got it in the mail last Thursday. 

I love and miss ya'll

Elder Feidler,

Hi from home, where it is the end of summer and sleeping in. Tomorrow it is back to school and Tuesday is the start of seminary. 

The ALS ice bucket challenge is going crazy on the social media sites now. Maddie and Zack have both done it.

Maddie got her hair cut and colored Friday. Now you have a red headed sister and she is sending 10 inches of her hair to some children's charity.

Today was a great day at church. Here are your siblings acting up.

Yesterday I helped a family that I home teach move into the ward. It went really well. There were over 20 people there. In about 40 minutes we had the Uhaul truck and 3 pickups loaded. Then we came and unloaded in South Fork. I'm also fixing up our extra lawn mower to give to the family that moved in. It just needed a new control cable and wheel.

We are super proud of you and hope your week has been great.  With practice, obedience and faith, great things will happen.  We still have 3 elders in our ward. They were very helpful with the move this week.

We love and miss you!
Dad and family


Graham:

Family,

It has been a busy week! We have had lots of service and moves to do lately. In the last 3 weeks we have had 19 kids under the age of 18 move into the ward! We also moved a couple of loads of wood and did some yard work for a less active member.

We taught Vicki, an RLDS member, the first discussion. She agreed with everything we said and started telling us about her patriarchal blessing. Then we also taught Jessica a few times. She is now starting 2 Nephi. We are trying to help her stop smoking. She also committed to come to church this Sunday. We taught Ray and Miriam twice. We re-taught the Plan of Salvation to them and when we got to the celestial kingdom we asked them what they would do to get there. They said "we should stop smoking." Having already taught them the Word of Wisdom we were a little startled when they said they smoke. They were on baptismal date for September 4th but we will have to move that date for a month after they smoke their last cigarette.

Today we plan on going to the fair in town for P-day. 

Here's our weekly letter from the president,

President Bonham

August 25, 2014

To our beloved missionaries in the Washington Everett Mission: 

1. Thank you for the letters this week and particularly for those of you that note that you have joined in praying for additional faith in Jesus Christ. We will keep working to increase our faith in this way. The promises of God are sure, so we simply need to keep growing in our commitment to them. And speaking of letters, do you know that I’ve read every letter that every missionary has written me since the day I arrived? I’m ready for more, so be sure to write to me (and your families) today!

2. We are updating how we post some documents for you to see. It isn’t all finished, but it is off to a good start. Here is what you can do to find certain documents (you may want to print this page and keep these instructions until you get used to them):
a. Go to www.onedrive.com (yes, you have permission for this purpose only)
b. Click “sign in” and use the account name wemmissionary@hotmail.com and the password wemmail1
c. Do not check “keep me signed in”
d. Once you are “in,” click on “Shared”
e. You can then choose from the blue folders you see. Try the Mission Documents one to see things we’ve posted for you to see. There will be more material coming.
f. In general, we won’t post things you can get on lds.org or mormon.org, but we may pick some things of special interest. If you have recommendations or requests, let the Assistants or me know.
g. When you are finished, please (really, please, please, please) click in the upper right hand corner on “Washington Everett Missionary” and choose “sign out.” We are not sure what will happen if we have everyone sign in and then not sign out—the computer might explode or Microsoft might burst into tears or something.

3. Some of you have heard about the new movie coming out in October, “Meet the Mormons.” It is a feature length film and will show in regular theaters. It tells the story of six amazing Church members and, from the website, it looks very good. People will buy tickets (and popcorn and, we hope, take their friends) to attend. All net profits are donated to the American Red Cross. I don’t have any information on whether it will be playing near us. Once I find out and get more details, I’ll let you know whether you may attend and so on.

4. Sister Bonham is thrilled with all the blackberries growing everywhere and stops to pick and eat them when she can. I want to point out to you that it is wise to wash them first. Berries get sprayed with weed killer, coated with dust, marked by animals, and so on. Don’t pick them where it is obviously someone’s private property without permission. Watch out for thorns. Boiling hot water is reputed to get out the stains (I haven’t tested this). With those warnings, enjoy some native Washington blessings!

5. I encourage every companionship to read a couple of pages from the Missionary Handbook in companionship study each day. Think as you read them about how they apply to you. Is there anything you need to change? Are there ideas that will help you? Does it inspire you to ask with faith for a particular promised blessing? Read the two paragraphs below from pages 3 and 4 to consider the importance of what we are committed to do:

“Strive to fulfill what the President of the Church expects of you, as expressed in your call letter: “You have been recommended as one worthy to represent the Lord as a minister of the restored gospel. You will be an official representative of the Church. As such, you will be expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and appearance by keeping the commandments, living mission rules, and following the counsel of your mission president. You will also be expected to devote all your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs. As you do these things, the Lord will bless you and you will become an effective advocate and messenger of the truth.

“When you accepted your call, you promised to live by these standards. You are accountable to the Lord and to the leaders of the Church for how well you honor this promise. Always keep in mind the importance of your calling. Strive constantly to magnify it.”

6. Let me just congratulate those of you who reached Standards of Excellence this past reporting week. We are seeing an increase in the number of companionships that can achieve this important goal and an additional group that are getting very close (sometimes missing just one element by one event). Do not be discouraged if you think it will take you several more weeks to get there, but keep working. As we commit to hard work and great faith, the Lord will open a way for us. Be patient and obedient and hardworking. Ask the Lord to bless you with the things you need. Love those around you, including the members and your companion. These blessings will come.

We love you!
President and Sister Bonham

I'll keep on eye out for the new shirts :)

I love and miss ya'll

-Elder Graham Feidler

Dad: That's awesome to read the letter from the president. Enjoy the fair today!  I bet your weather is a lot nicer than the 98 degree day here. Did you get the eye glasses yet?

Graham: Yes! I got the glasses! They are great! I can read things with my left eye now but they make my right eye a little more blurry.

Dad: Yay and sorry. You probably need a new prescription.  And I did not know your pupil distance either.  They only cost about $12.00 so if you ever find an eye dr to examine your eyes for cheap maybe we can order another pair.

Of course the scriptures say "with an eye single to the glory of God." Maybe you only need one eye? lol

Grandpa & Grandma - Aug 18

Dear Elder Grandson,

How is Monroe, Washington and Elder Feidler doing this week?  I have been saying extra prayers for you this past week.  I hope you were blessed and found investigators and had a good week.  Since you are starting from nothing, it can only go up.  It must be hard to walk everywhere if you're not using your bikes.  Do the members there help you and feed you? Are you the only missionaries in the ward? What time do you go to church on Sunday?

This past week was a hard one here.  We had Aiden and Andi for three days.  Andi and I went swimming one day at a friends then on Thursday we all went shopping for fishing license and things to go crabbing.  Aiden really likes to fish.  Thursday night we went to a place in Winnie that had bumper cars, go carts, bowling, arcades, bouncers, mini golf and small fair rides.  It was all indoors and you paid $20 per person and could do all the things as many times as you wanted.  They really had fun.  Right before we were leaving Aiden and Andi were racing on a bouncer and Aiden hit Andi's face and knocked one of her front teeth out.  It was lose and she was going to lose it soon anyway, but it really hurt her.  Friday we went crabbing and it was so hot and only got small crabs and had to throw them back in.  We will have to go in the evening this fall. We have them this week too, I don't know what we will do. I am just getting really tired. School can't come soon enough for me and for them.

We are going to your house on Wednesday. Can't wait to see Maddie, Zack and Myka and of course your dad and Chelle.

We are really ready for some cooler weather and Fall.  I just hope we don't have any hurricanes in Sept. and October.

I got a new iPhone this week.  It is so much faster than the droid.  I didn't realize I hadn't had a new phone for 4 years.

We hope you are doing well.  We think of you often and pray for you.  Keep up the good work.  You will be blessed for all you do.  I know we are blessed having you in the mission field. I sent two pictures from my iphone. I hope you can open them.

We love and miss you.

Grandma and Grandpa!

Thanks for all of the pictures! Did ya'll catch any crabs? The go cart/arcade place sounds like it was a blast! 

This past week was a great one! Last night we went to a mission fireside with an investigator. She really enjoyed it. We are the only missionaries in our ward. Our mission is hurting for missionaries right now because a lot of missionaries have been heading home early. We also, starting tomorrow, get to drive a car part-time. We will get it Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.Our church starts at 9 am and we have meetings that start at 7 am. 

Thursday last week we had a member drop us off out in the middle of our area and we spent 6 hours walking around knocking on doors that didn't have large dogs in the yards. Sadly we thought the area that we got dropped off in would have more houses than it did. At one point we had made it to the dead end of a long road which had 8 houses at the end. They had signs up that said no trespassing and beware of dogs. I thought out loud and said, "We should stand here at the end of this road until somebody comes out or drives by." There was one house that was all by itself down a dirt road without any signs so we started walking that way. As we did I said a silent prayer that we wouldn't come across any mean owners, big dogs, or bears and that we'd have people come up to us to talk to us. Right after I finished my prayer we had a truck pull up and stop next to us. We asked him if he would be interested in hearing our message and he said sure but that he was headed off to work so to swing by later on. After he pulled away we had two more cars pull up to us and thanked us for our work and said we could swing by too! This all happened 2 miles down a dead end road. Pretty neat.

Later on that same day a big black lab ran up to us. He turned out to be really friendly but kept following us! He followed us for a half mile until we decided to turn around and bring him back. When we got back the owner waved us away. He told us that his dog would find his way back and to just let him follow us... Friendly people out in the middle of nowhere. 

The members here are feeding us 4 to 5 times a week. They try to help us out when they have time.

That's about all going on here. Enjoy the new Iphone!

Love and miss ya'll,

Elder Graham Feidler

Dad:
How's Monroe this week? It's been another hot Texas week here. 98 degrees driving home from church today.

Maddie and Chelle went to the temple yesterday for a youth trip. They had about 20 youth attend. I got to watch Myka and we went to Gymboree and played. Then Myka slept and I got to finish putting the trailer hitch on the Mini so I can pull the classic Mini. I just need safety chains and magnetic lights.

I pulled it around the neighborhood and it pulls fine.

Pena's Donut Heaven is really popular again. This time they are making kolaches stuffed with Killen's bbq brisket. They are super yummy!

They only sell them on the weekend and they sell out fast!  It's crazy how well he is doing.

Zack has been busy working at Old Navy. He mostly does the closing shifts and he seams to enjoy or at least tolerate the work.

Zack, Maddie and your mom went up to see your Nana yesterday.

Maddie got her class schedule and is taking lots of Pre AP classes.  I hope she studies hard. Neither her nor Zack did their summer reading yet so I have turned off the internet for them here at home so they will be less distracted.

All back to school in one week!  We will have to start waking up early again. It has been nice sleeping in until 7am.

I hope all is well there.   Find any new investigators this week. Getting any dinner appointments?  I hope you are well taken care of. We love and miss you lots. Keep up the good work. We are praying for you.

Love, Dad and family

Playing in Myka's room as I typed this.

We weren't able to teach anybody new this week. Thanks for the package in the mail! That peanut brittle is so good! The package was short on postage $4 though. One of the less actives here made fun of my white shirt sleeves! haha Where my elbow is, my shirts are worn out through all but 2. 

I'm pretty excited for this week! It should be a great one.

Love and miss ya'll

Grandma & Grandpa - Aug 11

Dear Elder Grandson,

How is the new area? We have been praying for you more this week and hoping you are adjusting to the new area, housing, and the bike. We also prayed for guidance to people who are in that area waiting to hear the gospel, that you would be guided to them. We have faith that you will be guided. 

I don't understand how you have time to heat the water for your use and then this winter how you can heat the apartment. That area must be very primitive or conservative. Be patient is all I know.  You have been blessed so far.

You look really good in the pictures.  Does anyone feed you in this area?  I know it must be hard for them and you with you living so far from town.  Our Bridge City missionaries are on bikes and live about 3 miles from town. The Port Arthur missionaries live in an old house with only one window air conditioner that doesn't keep the house very cool.  I guess you never know what your area is going to be like until you get there.

Yesterday, Saturday, Grandpa and three members and the two Mid County missionaries built a wheelchair ramp for a sister that we home teach. She lost her foot from diabetes in April.  Her husband, who passed away about 3 years ago, was a Marine so Grandpa got the Marine Corps League he belongs to the pay for the material and the church members built it.  It was very hot and in the sun. It was really hard on Grandpa, but they got it done. It took about 6 hours.  I have attached a picture of the group and the ramp they built.  Grandpa and I feel more hand rails are needed, so he will go over one evening and put some more boards up.

We had Andi two days this past week and Aiden one day.  School starts two weeks from tomorrow.  I don't know if we will have them all that time or not yet.

We have the iron rails done for upstairs, but they are two heavy for us to get them up there so we will have to get help.  I need to shampoo the carpet too. This week is suppose to really be a hot one with no rain so we probably won't get much done.  We are both really tired of working outside so much in the heat. Fall will hopefully come soon and be cooler. 

All for now.  Have a great week doing the Lord's work.  We are praying for you. 

Lots of Love,

Grandpa & Grandma

Dad:
Elder Feidler,
I hear there is 8 minutes less of daylight every day as we head towards winter. Enjoy the sun while it lasts.

How's the new area going?  Are you getting your cycling legs back?  We enjoyed getting the picture of you on splits with the other elder. Does your companion remember any of the foreign language he was taught in the MTC 11 months ago?

It's been just another normal week here.  Myka is sporting the sunglasses.

Speaking of glasses. You should be getting a package soon. Not sure how they will look or fit. Hopefully well.

Myka has been playing at Gymboree. Maddie has had two days of choir camp prepping her for district choir competition. Zack has been working this weekend. It was tax free weekend and the store was a mess when I went in. Here is Zack helping someone find jeans.

Maddie got some new school clothes yesterday. So now even though it is 95 degrees outside she is wearing a new jacket she got because it is cool.

Chelle got to rock Myka to sleep the other night.  She looks super cute sleeping.

Scripture of the week for you is Alma Chapter 17. Go missionaries!!!

We love and miss you lots. Have a great week and keep up the good work.

Graham:

Family!

Haven't done too much cycling this past week.

This past week I went on my first exchange in this area. I was with a missionary who had been out on his mission for a week. Not knowing the area very well and having bikes that aren't in 100% working condition we decided to walk to the only neighborhood in our ward and contact less active, potential, and former investigators that live there. We had plans and back up plans for every hour leaving us with 30 mins or so to tract after we had seen all of the names. We ended up seeing all of the names in 45 minutes and had no success. We then tracted for 5 hours. Hopefully I didn't wear the new missionary out! 

There are three wards that attend church at our building. Every Wednesday night and Saturday morning the missionaries have been running sports time. 

It was a rough week to say the least. My companion still studies Portuguese every day for an hour. He seems to know how to speak it well. He has been pretty irritated at the mission or all US missions. He is really ready to go to his mission where the lord has called him to work.

Sadly we found 0 new investigators this week but we taught two lessons to Ray who was on date for baptism this past weekend. But he forgot most everything the missionaries had taught him because he has short term memory loss and we taught Jessica twice. This week she told us she wants to be baptized in the Jehovah's Witness church. 

Please pray this week that we can find some new investigators and that we can work better together as a companionship.

Dad:

Elder Feidler,

Don't be discouraged. Great things are to come! There always has to be a trial before the success.  I hope you can handle all the success that will be coming your way.  We are praying for you. Just make good choices and be diligent.  Hopefully after the AP's visit, your companion will understand that you don't need to run the Saturday sports stuff.

Keep tracting and asking for member referrals.  As the members get to know you they will want you to teach their friends.

Tell Jessica to pray!  Have faith and keep on finding.

We love and miss you. Just another really hot and dry day here. The grass is turning brown and needs water.

So do you have to load the wood in to get the hot water each time you need it or is it something that burns all the time to heat the house?

Love,

Dad, Chelle and Family

Graham:

I'm not sure how much wood the heater takes but the water takes a few logs two days. The shower is either really hot or really cold haha

Dad: It's P-Day! You got any fun plans for the day?

Graham: Since they can't play sports during the week any more that is what they are going to do today. I'm planning on writing some letters and writing in my journal.

Aug 4

Dad:
Hello Elder Feidler!

It was great to get the pictures from your new Ward Mission Leader. Tell him thanks again!

I'm excited to hear if you are on a bike or in a car.

We have your address as:  (please confirm)

12931 200th Ave SE
Monroe, WA  98272

How did the transfer go?  How's the new companion? Where is he from? Who is Jr and Sr.?

We need lots of info!!  

It's August so summer is almost over and it will be back to school time. Maddie wants to start driving next month!  She can't wait until she is 15 and she wants a motorcycle license. 

All is well here. Maddie just got back from girls' camp and she had fun. Got mosquito bites on her legs. Zack worked his first 8 hr shift on Saturday and closed. He can't believe how he cleaned for 8 hours and people would mess up right behind him. 

Friday I drove with the Houston Mini Club out to Brenham and Round Top and ate lunch. The Blue bell factory was too busy to tour.  

The rest of the group went on to Austin to meet the Mini Takes The States group and drove to Dallas the following day. I'm the convertible in the middle.

We ate at some place famous for their pies.  Boyers restaurant.

 

Saturday I got the classic Mini out and went to a meeting.

Saturday night we went to Kemah.

It's been a busy weekend.

Well that's it for here. Now I must let my old eyes rest. ( Got a pair of $1 reading glasses at the Dollar Store.)

We love and miss you!  We are very proud of you and feel very blessed to be able to support you on your mission. Have a great week and tell us lots about the new area!!!

Graham:

Dear Dad and family,

Br. Lowe, our ward mission leader who sent the picture, is no longer our ward mission leader. He was released from that calling last night leaving us without a ward mission leader :( He and his wife will be leaving for a mission of there own in 2 weeks. 

That is indeed the correct address. Sadly we our on bikes because one of my last companions was transferred here and decided to go 50 down a gravel road when he hit a pot hole and ripped off the front end of the car. 

The Woods Creek ward I'm in now borders the Machias ward and feels a lot like it. We live with a member, Br. Grant, in a tiny basement. In order for us to have hot water or heat we have to burn wood. And YES! We have chickens... 

I will really miss my last companion. Now I have Elder Ditlevsen from California. He has been out 11 months and is a visa waiter going to Brazil. He is the Senior companion. He is definitely ready top leave this mission and go to his. 

A couple of days after I got here the Grants up stairs come down and told me that my deodorant or shampoo or after shave is giving sister Grant an allergic reaction and to not use anything scented. This area is really going to be a hard one.

Right now in this ward we have one investigator and she is being taught by the JW's also. She has been taking lessons for 2 years. The Elder that was here before me didn't know how to ride a bike so they didn't have to much going on. I'm pretty excited to spend some time tracting the long gravel roads this week.

Great to hear Zack survived a weekend closing shift at Old Navy! Those took a lot of patience. The mini events look like a blast! I like the picture of Myka in the drivers seat :) Sweet new glasses 

I survived my first week back in the country! I love and miss ya'll.

Elder Graham Feidler

Dad:

Elder Feidler,

Wow! That's some crazy stuff.  I guess you need to go unscented.... don't wear any cologne.

So is the car permanently gone or just out for repairs.  Was the previous companion that hit the pot hole the first companion you had that got the ticket you helped pay for??

Challenges are just opportunities to overcome and conquer.  What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.  or really sick... haha.

Good luck, I hope your companion gets his visa soon.  He needs to learn his language.

We miss you lots. Need anything? Did you get your old bike back?

Graham:

Our car was given to some other Elders that have an area 1/4 the size of ours. The accident happen to my first companion in Mill Creek. The sad part is he got transferred a couple of transfers ago and is now in a car area again :(

I ended up borrowing a bike from another missionary. Feel free to send me ya'lls favorite scripture of the week for your readings. Besides that I don't need anything.

Love,

Elder F

Dad:

Are you emailing from the library?  Looks like it is about 3 miles away and the church is even further.

We need a pic of you on the bike.  Is it cold there yet?  I guess you will have a couple of months before things get cold?

good luck

Graham:

Thanks for the scripture. I'm at the library emailing. It is pretty warm and humid here compared to the Island. 

Grandma & Grandpa - Aug 4

Dear Elder Grandson,

We are so excited to hear you are back on the mainland.  You are so close to Seattle too. Please be sure to answer all the questions your Dad asked. We are anxious to know if you are in a car and all the other things. We hope you like the area. The ward mission leader said you are in a member's home living in the basement.  We googled the house and it really looks big and out in the country a ways. Is it a nice place? They are members, right? It reminded me of your first area you went to.  You looked good in the pictures.  You said you needed new shirts and garments.  What are your sizes and style of garments?  What size shirt? How have you been feeling? Your pictures are always so good.  I guess you will miss the meals on the beach.  Looks like it was a lot of fun. We have taken the rails down up stairs and will probably get them painted this week.  It is not suppose to rain much. Larry and Kim have gone back to school so we will start keeping Aiden and Andi during the week until school starts on the 25th and that will slow us down a bit.We stayed two days in Pearland.  We had a good time with Myka.  She is smart and growing up fast.  We missed Maddie at girls camp and Zack is so good with Myka.  She really likes him.  He gets down on the floor to play with her.  I will send pictures from my I pad. All is well here.  We love you lots and pray for you.  We pray you have the success with investigators that you have had in the other areas.  Keep up the good work.

Love you,

Grandpa & Grandma

Dad: Thanks for the picture! What city and ward is he serving in? We have not heard yet since he was just transferred.

Monroe, WA.  Woods Creek Ward.  The Elders live in the basement of Bob & Jean Grant, who built their own home and still heat it with wood furnace that heats their hot water radiation system.
