New Years Greetings from Tennessee

Dear Friends,
 
Christmas was GREAT! I got a bunch of SWEET ties and a Christmas album by Michael Buble and a Rubik's cube. Life is good.
 
This week we visited with that golden investigator I was telling you about last week. Well, turns out there's still a bumpy road ahead. He believe's the Bible is infallible and see's the BoM and Bible as clashing, but at the same time says that he can feel the Spirit stirring within him and feels Joseph Smith was definitely inspired by God, so it's just CRAZY! There's no doubt that he's sincerely seeking understanding though because he came to church with us yesterday and he's read just about the entire BoM in the less than two weeks that we've known him. I don't know what else to do besides just teaching true doctrine and giving him time.

Another of our investigators is progressing right along too. She loves when we come by and teach her and can feel the change that it's making in her life. These are seriously the two best investigators I've ever had which is why this has been the most frustrating/exciting/frightening/happy week of the mission. I just want for them to get baptized so bad and continue on in the straight and narrow path.

Fingers crossed.

I've felt kinda sick the past few days. I just have a head cold that consists of a mild cough that becomes exacerbated between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. Precisely when I'm trying to sleep!

Hooray!

But, in the infinite foresight of my parents, I've received a shipment of halls cough drops that consist of a delightful mixture of lemon, honey, and menthol! They taste great and soothe my throat, but didn't do anything for my cough and I still couldn't sleep until 11:30 last night. Such is life.

Well, I love and miss you all. Thanks to everyone that sent me Christmas greetings. I much appreciated them.

Happy New Year!

Love,

Elder Grabinger
