Elder Jonas Gridley's mission

  Hello everyone who's still taking the time to read this far. It's been a pretty good last two weeks kinda didn't write last week my bad. Let me go ahead and catch you up Brenna someone we were teaching is baptized her baptism was on Saturday it was amazing she's very ready and we are super happy for her she's seen lots of little miracles in her life leading up to this. So that's an amazing thing that's gone on over here.  We have another friend on a date for the 12th of November we hope we can keep that date and help her get there her name is Blanche. She's older but knows what we are sharing is true and wants to change so we expect to see her at church!  There seem to be quite a few more people over here in Virginia that have a pretty strong opinion and want to bash about it that's been fun Elder Viehweg my companions have been dealing with that I don't worry about it shrug.  We had a really good lesson Saturday with a friend named Olesya she ...

Okay just a heads up the hardest part of my emails is thinking of a subject line or a quote to use. I hope I make it all 2 years! I hit 1 year tomorrow! I truly have loved my mission being able to serve and grow so so much. I'm glad a have a full year left and I'm going to make the most of it.     Transfer news I'm no longer in Elizabeth city and I can't say I'm to displeased about that. It was a long 7 and a half months. We are over in Virginia Beach now and its lovely! We have a really good ward and someone we are working with already heading towards baptism. Her name is Brenna pray for her to have the courage to follow the spirit. She came to church that was awesome shes had backlash from friends about meeting with us but she actually had them back off and just let her do what she wants and she said that was a miracle so thats so cool.     Biking to church in suits is a new thing. Its a 10 minute bike ride and I just think we look even funnier riding dow...

  Sorry this is better late than never. I am leading Elizabeth City and going up to Providence Virginia in Virginia Beach! All in the southern part of my mission. Ive been here for 7.5 months in Elizabeth City so in very ready for a change.     My new companion is actually Elder Viehweg who's in Elizabeth City also but isn't my comp so that fun. I'm looking forward to the other area it's a biking area just not looking forward to the cold again just in time for biking. Enjoy all the lovely pictures!  Oh and I almost forgot mest weeks my 1 year the day after next pday I think.
