Happy Birthday on Tuesday. Did you get the package we
sent? Hope it was something you liked. Don't open the present 'til your birthday. Did you get the new gloves from LL Bean? Did you send the old
ones back? We got them to warranty them. Grandpa sent a bright pair of
green gloves in the package so people would see you coming on the
bicycle. Hope you are wearing green when you read this. It is St.
Patrick's Day.
We have seven elders in our ward, two are being transferred
and one is going home. The one going home is from Hawaii and is a real nice elder. I have sent
a picture of the elders to you on my iPad. Ask Sister Goode in your
district if she recognized one of them. Elder Smith says she is his
girlfriend. Small world.
How are things going out there? Have you had any luck
finding new investigators? We are Ward Missionaries and at the weekly
meeting Wednesday we heard the reports of our missionaries. I realize how
hard it is to find good investigators. Members are really the best source
and so many of us don't do our part to refer friends and neighbors. Your
ward sounds like they support you more than ours does. Keep up the good
work. Good people are out there just waiting for you to contact them.
I see you have been getting a lot of rain again. There
are flood warnings all around you. We are not praying for rain. We
pray for it to stop and let you have a break. You should have good weather the
next few days, no rain.
We are anxious to get over and see Myka. She is
walking everywhere. We don't go over that way until March 27th for another VA
appointment.
This week we are going to Beaumont to a swearing in for citizenship. A member of our ward is from Panama and is going to get
citizenship. They met on his mission. Oh, it is the daughter-in-law of
the man that kept the bicycle in Rexburg. The Meachams. I think it will
be interesting.
This coming Saturday, March 22, your second cousin, Courtney
Jolly, is getting married in Boise ,
Idaho . She is the relative
that was going to BYU Idaho when you went. I wish I could have gone out
there for it. Ann and Marlene are going.
Grandpa and Larry did a swap meet at Trader's Village this
past Friday and Saturday. They took Aiden and Andi with them. It
was not a good one. It rained off and on all the time. They came home about
2:00 Saturday in the pouring down rain. Larry did sell his old truck
though.
We hope you have a very Happy Birthday. We will be
thinking of you and we will sing Happy Birthday to you. Just can't call
and sing to you. Keep a positive attitude and have a great day. You have
almost been out for a year. We think it has gone fast. Has it for
you? Is there anything else that you need? We pray for you and the
work you do everyday. We ask Heavenly Father to bless you for all you do
and keep you safe.
Be sure you take the lights and fenders with
you if you get transferred in case your knew bike doesn't have them since
you are using borrowed bikes now. Does it look like you will get
transferred the end of the month?
We love you and miss you. Stay happy. We are thankful
for all you do.
Grandpa & Grandma
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
I'm wearing green and yes, I got your package. I can't wait
to open it tomorrow! You can't go wrong with candy and beef jerky :) I haven't
got the new replacement gloves yet. My companion and I don't know of a Sister Goode. She might be in a different district or zone. We don't have sisters in
Mill Creek. We just have me and my companion.
This past week we spent a lot of time tracting. We found two
people that said we could come back this week and talk to them more. Also Jim, one of our investigators, is giving a talk next Sunday! He would be a member
but his wife won"t let him get baptized.
I'm missing my little sister grow up too! She really won't
know who I am when I come back home. The past 341 days have gone by fast at times
but also have their moments where time drags by incredibly slow. I don't think
I need anything right now. Maybe another suitcase to fit all of the things
that I have now! :)
Transfers are next week on Tuesday, I don't find out if I
leave or not until next Monday but I'm thinking I'll be leaving.
I love and miss ya'll,
Elder Graham Feidler
