Oh What a Week!

Dear Everyone,

We had to prepare a district leader training meeting and a zone meeting last week so it was super hectic.  Everything went superbly though with the help of Elder Davis and the Spirit.  I'm glad it's all over though.

Well, I may or may not have broken my ankle playing basketball last week (see attached photos) so I've been limping around for several days now.  The worst part was when we got called to go give a blessing to someone in the hospital here and so I was dragging my leg around in the hospital like a lame dog.  It was ironic.

We had a wonderful area wide stake conference for the eastern states that was broadcast from Salt Lake.  It was super cool.  The focus was on the family and the need to reach out to others and be proactive in our efforts to save our loved ones along with ourselves.  Also, Dieter F. Uchtdorf said something to the effect of "Tithing has nothing to do with money and everything to do with faith."  So well said.  He also held up a copy of Preach My Gospel and challenged each family to obtain a copy and study it regularly, especially chapter 3.  That was uber exciting for us missionaries.

Something cool that happened this week was that we were at WalMart and this less-active lady that we had been trying to visit for a little while saw us and came right up to us and gave us her phone number and stuff so we could meet with her.  The Lord's got everything on lock down.  You just have to work hard and try to work smart and He'll make things happen.  Way cool.

Also, it appears that Sonic is doing their half-price shakes after 8p.m. again this year which I'm really excited for.  I love milkshakes.

That's about all that's going on though.  Can't wait for Mother's Day this Sunday!!!  Have a great week.

Love
Elder Grabinger
