The Work Progresses

Dear Compadres,

Sorry you didn't get an email last week.  I wrote one and sent it but there seems to be a failure in the interwebz time-space thingy.

Douglas' project sounds SWEET!

That's how we need to do missionary work!  Just set up a bouncy castle on the church lawn and "Let them come".  Genius.

Okay, crazy stuffs is going down this week.  I'm getting transferred and there is a new zone being created and I will still be a zone leader.  I won't find out exactly what's going to happen and where I go until Wednesday morning so you'll have to find out next week.

Exciting.  I know...

That's about the extent of the excitement that's gone on this week.

Jacob and Stephanie are doing really well.  I will miss them so much.  They're great.  In our lesson last Sunday, Jacob made it known that he was looking for a job and stuff and that they were struggling.  I had just happened to visit the LDS Employment Services office 3 months ago that happens to be in our building and happened to take with me some business cards of the senior couple that staffs that program here.  Needless to say, I hooked him up and he got a job within the week through that service.  I am just so grateful for the opportunity to really help people in any way that I can and I love being a part of this Church that has so many INSPIRED programs to take care of God's children; all of them.  It was such a blessing for me to see that miracle happen in our investigators' lives.

The other exciting thing was that Jacob survived his first anti-mormon experiences!!!  I mean, you can't not go around telling people "I'm studying mormonism" and not face opposition.  But he was able to stay strong and be like "That's not what the Elders are teaching me at all, they don't believe that."  I'm proud of him.  It was a witness to me though of the real need to find and teach families where family members can love and support and strengthen one another in the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Stephanie is just a trooper also.

That is all.

Love
Elder Grabinger
