Good News

Dear Family and Friends,

I feel like I'm finally getting on top of things here in the new area.  We're really needing to find new people to teach, but it sounds like there's been a transformation in the ward attitude toward missionary work since Elder LeSueur first got here, so we're pretty hopeful.  Really, I can't tell you much about our investigators at the moment, because we don't really have any.  It's not the first time this has happened in my mission though, I'm sure the Lord will bless us as we work hard and we'll have plenty going on very soon.

Some good news though, I've heard back in Pleasant Ridge that Gary is still doing well and will be baptized on the 2nd of March, so I'm super excited about that...

I've attached this song that was given to me by a member from a CD they obtained on their mission and the musicality is just stupendous.  This is my favorite track from the CD and I'm sure you'll love it.  Turns out, the CD was put together by Elder William Joseph Schwartz III in 1999 in the Australia Perth Mission.  He is the same artist that performs as William Joseph today.  Cool stuff...

Um, so yeah, we're just trucking along right now, working with a lot of less-actives and trying to bring them back and all their friends with them into activity.  No big deal.

Valentine's Day was great!  I received some very special packages.  :)   Thanks everybody!

Okay, I've been to McDonald's recently and they're advertising the Shamrock Shake again, but every time I've asked, they don't have it!!!  It's looking like this will be year three that I miss the elusive shamrock shake.  I swear, it's tougher to get a hold of one of those than it is a real live leprechaun.

Well, yesterday was President's Day so all the libraries were closed.  That's why I'm emailing today, but I'm out of time.  We've got to get back to work.  There's soooo much to do...  I love you though.  Have a great week!

Love
Elder Grabinger

P.S.  The iPod is sweeeeeet.
