Grandma & Grandpa - Jan 12

Dear Elder Grandson,
How was your week? I know you were probably very busy seeing all you can to say goodbye and teaching, teaching, and teaching. All the time you have left you should be so very excited to be doing the Lord's work and making good memories of a wonderful mission.  You are a very good missionary and people have really liked you.  I didn't know you could contact parents to tell them how wonderful you missionaries are.  So many have contacted your Dad since you have been out.  We are very proud of you.
I guess you will be transferred on Tuesday.  We are praying for a good warm place with a car for the winter months and that you will be guided to those waiting to hear the gospel.
You have actually been warmer than we have.  We have been is the upper 20's and low 30's for over a week now.  It has rained so much that tonight the yard is pretty flooded.  There is no where for the water to go. The ground is so saturated now.  We should be clearing out tomorrow and a little warmer but then cooler again by the middle of the week. Looks like rain coming your way by the end of the week. I hope you kept your rain gear in case you get put on a bike again.
We have pretty much stayed in the house except to go to doctor appointments and I had an MRI on my hip.  I can say I am not in any pain right now, thankfully.  Grandpa has had a cold but is getting better.
We are going on a cruise the end of the month (31st) and first week of February.  We are going to San Juan, St. Marteen and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.  We are really looking forward to it and some warm weather. A cousin and her husband in Franklin, Idaho are going with us.
Everyone here is doing fine and waiting for some good weather to get out more. Two missionaries in the Spanish Branch called last night and ask Grandpa to come down to Port Arthur and get them because it was raining so hard and they were on bikes.  He was a sleep and didn't feel real good but he went.  They sure did appreciate it.
We are praying for you and hope you have a great week and a good transfer.
Love you lots,
Grandpa and Grandma
