Grandma & Grandpa - Nov 4

Dear Elder Grandson,

Wow, where does the time go.  One week ago we were in North Carolina and we got home on Wednesday afternoon. We had a good time coming home. We went to the Smokey Mountains, which was a lot like what we went through to get to the wedding; winding roads and trees everywhere. We also went through Gatlinburg, TN and then went down to Chattanoga, TN to Look Out Mountain. You are supposed to see seven states at the top. It was a foggy day and we couldn't see anything but clouds. It was a pretty walk to get to the top though. There was a train on cables that went up the mountain called the incline train. It felt like you were going straight up and down when you got to the top.  I was a little nervous on it. Going down was beautiful. It was

about a mile long ride.  We then left there and went to

Atlanta, GA and saw Stone Mountain.  It is a big rock

mountain that has Generals carved out on it.  I sent a

postcard to you of that. We also rode the tram to the top. It was a lot of fun doing things we haven't done

before. Now I just want to stay home.

We have been having a lot of rain and I need to mow the back yard tomorrow before the next storm comes. I saw on the news that winds were 70 MPH in Seattle and a bridge actually rocked and scared people in cars.

How are you doing?  Are you adjusting to riding a bike? I

sure wish you had a car. Maybe your next area. Are you

eating well? How many investigators do you have?  I know,

too many questions.  We just like hearing from you and hope things are going well.

All is fine here.  I hope we can go over to Pearland this

week.  Myka is growing up so fast and we don't get to

see her often.  I guess it was the same when you were

little.  We missed a lot of all you kids growing up.

The Marine Corp Ball is this coming Saturday.  Grandpa

hasn't done much with it this year but we are going.  I

hope the food is better than last year.

Larry and Grandpa did the Conroe Swap meet Friday and

Saturday.  Grandpa sold $13.00.  Not really worth the trip

except that he bought more stuff.

We pray for you each day and miss you a lot.  Keep doing all you can to find people wanting to hear the gospel. They are there, you can find them one at a time. Enjoy your mission. You will always treasure the experience you have there. I can tell you are growing spiritually and maturing into a fine young man.  I will write a letter this week.

I attached a wedding picture, the incline train track and

lookout mountain.

We love you much,

Grandpa & Grandma

Grandma and Grandpa,

WOW! Looks like ya'll had fun! Wish I had

some cowboy boots! haha This past week when we had all

of that wind and rain, I was out walking around tracting and

contacting haha. I was soaking wet! I've been doing

pretty great lately! I made a goal to read the Book of

Mormon at least 5 times before my mission is over! So far

I'm doing pretty good with that goal. My legs are

getting used to riding a bike but they still always hurt

it's just not as noticeable. I'm eating pretty good!

You and Grandpa will have to go to Dickey's BBQ with the

rest of the family. I sent them a $50 gift card there. Some

members just opened one up in my ward and I was one of the first in line and won the gift card. Also they said my

companion and I can go back anytime to get free food! We

have a lot of investigators right now. We are praying to

have a baptism within a month. We have one lady who seems like she is ready to endure to the end. My mission has given me such a strong conversion story!

I love and miss ya'll so much!!-

Elder Graham Feidler

p.s. I get to video chat with ya'll in a

month and a half!
