Elder Jonas Gridley's mission

  What a fun week we had. We had our best week of finding the whole transfer so that went awesome! I've been out a year and still dread giving training and leading spiritual discussions and the one I did this week went okay.     Blanche is still working towards baptism and she should be getting baptized Saturday! Whammo, I'm excited for her. She loves the ward and is just a sweet old lady who loves to talk a lot.     Brenna our recent convert has joined us on a few lessons with Blanche and she enjoys them it's awesome she's a great missionary already. Zach and Brenna two ward members go to the same school and they are trying to share the gospel a lot they have out 3 Books of Mormon last week so that's awesome.   Tram a person who's been coming to church but speaks Vietnamese is having lessons over zoom with other Elders in California and they put her on a date after the first lesson so that's super cool. Hope it all keeps going well for her.    We helped a s

  Okay, so this week's been kinda crazy. We got locked out of our apartment for the morning by leaving our keys inside so we had to wait till people could show up with some keys to get inside for a couple hours kinda annoying but it happens. It was the one time I didn't ask if Elder Viehweg had the keys oh well.  Blanche is on a date for the 19th of November so we are excited for her and happy to help her get there. She seems ready and like she's already a part of the church. Transfer news is next Saturday so we are looking forward to seeing what happens.  Jeff down in Elizabeth City could be baptized this weekend or super soon I'll only be able to watch a zoom when that happens I can't go. Pretty bummed about that but really hope it happens for Jeff.  The farm is so fun every Saturday we go and get dirty running around fixing stuff up and it's a blast I love the whips still. They have a calf that's rejected by the herd and it hangs out pretty fun forget pet

  Happy Halloween I'd love to see everyone who dresses up send me a picture I'd love that. This last week has been good, we got to serve at the farm again and that was fun we where taking down and installing new fence posts so that was nice. We have still been meeting with Blanche whos still on date to be baptised but it will have to be moved back because she missed church this Sunday thats to bad.     We had what seemed to be really close to a thanksgiving dinner at a members it was super good food nice steak and potatos thought the mashed potatos weren't as good as back homes.     We did about 2 and a half hours of biking on Friday that was fun we tried to visit a lot of people and it was eh. Not a lot of people home or having the time to talk to us so that was a bummer but we know now for sure we are capable of lots and lots of biking.      We had an exchange this week it was so fun. I was with another missionary whos been out a little less then me and we had a great tim
