Grandma & Grandpa - Sept 16

Hi Elder Grandson,
Wow, where do the weeks go.  We have worked hard here at home this week.  Had to get the yard in shape since I now hire it done but we have not had rain so it is drying up and I haven't had them come for two weeks.  We did it ourselves and did a lot of cleaning up flower beds and stuff.  The well hasn't worked since we got home from vacation and I need it really bad so Grandpa looked at it Friday and we had to order a new pump.  You ordered the last one 3 years ago and got a price around $100 this time all I could find was $200.  We need your expertise here.
One set of 3 missionaries in the ward stopped by tonight.  They are the ones Grandpa goes with to visit a friend of ours that had his name taken off the roll several years ago.  Well, I showed them a picture of you making cookies that was texted to your dad last week and he said "I know him, he was at EFY at BYU Idaho in 2011 when I went." He said you're on his Facebook and that you are friends. His name is Zane McTavish Halvorsen.  He went in the mission home on May 10th and this is his first area. He has been out 4 months.  He was one of the missionaries that Grandpa brought back from transfers when he took the elders to Houston.  He has adopted Grandpa as his Grandpa.  We have attached a photo of him sitting on Grandpa's tractor.  Small world LOL!
Did you get the package we sent.  Hope there was something you liked.  It looked like one of the ties we sent you matches the one your companion is wearing in the photo with the cookies.  Now you can be twins. 
I hope the pictures aren't too big. They took to long time to download.  I am sending one from my iPad too.
We love and miss you.  We are always glad to hear from you.  You look good in the picture.  Stay happy and keep doing all you can to find people to hear the gospel.
Love & Big Hugs,
Grandpa & Grandma

Hey! 
Great to see Grandpa's taking good care of the missionaries! Tell Zane I said hey! SO last week I got your package! Should have seen the smile on my face when I opened the mail box and saw it inside. Thank ya'll so much! Thanks especially for the book about cleaning. Elder Della Lucia and I need to read that! :) We have a cleaning check tomorrow so we will be spending today scrubbing our trailer. The work is continuing to pick up. This week we have members to take with us every single night to help save us miles for our car and to fellowship and make friends with our investigators. It is so exciting to watch the happiness the gospel brings flood into others lives. I love and miss ya'll so much!

Your #1 Grandson,
Elder Graham Feidler
