Grandpa & Grandma - Oct 13

Dear Elder Grandson,

The weeks are flying by.  We hope your past week was a good one with lots of referrals, dinners and lessons being taught.  I hope you still have a car because this coming week looks like a wet one for you.  Winter must be getting close for you.  We are to have severe weather tomorrow and then must cooler weather that we have been looking forward to for months. 

We still have so much work to do around the house.  I  hope we can find someone to paint the metal awning between house and shop this week. The missionaries came out on Thursday and helped Grandpa clean the gutters on the shop.  We are so glad that is done.  We really do appreciate them helping us when we need it. It only took 2 hours.  I feed them good afterwards. They said it was the first meal a member had for them last week.  Our ward falls down in feeding 3 sets.  Tuesday is transfer day and all three sets are getting one new missionary.  Your transfers will be the next week.  Time really goes fast for them.  We just get to know them and they are gone. We sent a package to you on Saturday. I don't think the mail runs tomorrow so you might get it on Tuesday or Wednesday. I guess we may not hear from you on Monday, it is Columbus day. Sounds like you are going to go right out to college when you get home.  I guess that will be good, but we will miss you again.  Life just keeps going on so make the best of what you can when you can. We are finally going to do something besides work. We are going to meet  one of my cousins from Idaho and her husband in Branson, Missouri the first of November for 5 days.  Then we are going on a Country Music Cruise the 31st of January going to San Juan, St .Thomas and St. Marteen for 7 days with the same cousin and husband.  I have always wanted to go there but not on a Country Music Cruise. I guess I will put up with it just to get to go to those Islands.  We had a good time Friday at your house. Chelle went to the temple and your Dad worked and we watched Myka.  You wouldn't believe how much Zack and Maddie have changed and grown up since you've been out.  We sure love and miss you and pray for you each day.  Keep up the good work. Take good care of yourself too.

Love,

Grandpa & Grandma
