 Welcome Home Elder Grover!!! It's wonderful to have him home!!!!!! It was the BEST 2 years for sure!  Although we love having him home, there are lots of mixed emotions....noone ever told me that his coming home would be as emotional as his leaving and that I would feel so much of what he's feeling...He misses his mission desperately and would go back in a heart-beat, if he could. But, I wouldn't have it any other way! To me that just means he was a wonderful missionary! Welcome Home Elder Grover!!!

June 7, 2012

So, we are busy ripping out floors, painting etc getting ready for our son to come home, but had to stop and post this letter we got this morning since It's one of the last and may be the last one I'll post. We have only posted a small portion of the letters he has written.  I'm so proud of this kid. He is just awesome! I can't wait to see him!  1 week, 5 days and 10 hours!

Hey Family
Sorry I haven't written lately...Don't worry, you will get 1 more after this...I will make sure! So, how are y'all doing? How is Aunt Linda? I hope news is good.

Well, this week has been really good to us! We found 6 new investigators! 2 while on exchanges...2 are from service a week or two ago. We helped them move into their new home in our area. They are both in wheelchairs...The guy, Gary was in the navy back in the day and is a huge guy. We taught them about the Book of Mormon and started on the restoration. It was awesome!

So, a couple of weeks ago there was a solar eclipse and we went out tracking and ran into a lady that had been baptized 15 years ago and has not been to church in about 13 or so...but she was totally awesome and cool. We've been back twice to teach her and the last time she told us that she had mentioned before the eclipse to her boyfriend how she missed church and all. She said when she saw us she was like, "really, God?"  She said after we left, she went inside her house and cried. I was glad the Lord led us to her. one of those tender mercies.

I love my mission and it is honestly kind of hard coming home. It will be awesome seeing ya'll and everyone. But, I am going to miss this. I have grown alot. I suppose I have come out of my shell while on my mission. atleast some. I've made alot of friends on my mission. I want to come back by the mission soon! It will be fun.

Anyway, how is the family? How's Browser doing? Some lady I was talking to said mutts live longer than normal. .....He probably needs a bath. lol

Anyway, Love y'all. I will see y'all soon! The church is True!!!!
