I believe the word your looking for is...

 Tuesday 





We went knocking and ran into a few cool people. One dude names James was really interesting. He's been living life like the eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. Asked what he does for peace and he said smoke outside just chill that's my peace. Things just seemed hard for it I felt bad but hope he's happy. After him we talked to an Antwon he was cool! Gave him a Book of Mormon and a paper with the questions of the soul. It was great I loved it and hope to meet with him Saturday. We had dinner with the Worthins they moved here in January. They had some food for us I loved it. I really appreciated it very hungry.

Saturday we had a fun exchange it was Elder Timmons, Beacham and I going around finding all day. We ran into 3 cool people two of them we are going to start teaching. It is really nice to have learned so much more since I came out I feel way more confident and ready to teach people but also be personal with what people need. I made French toast for breakfast Saturday. Then Macncheese then got us pizza for dinner cooked for all 5 of us. So I can make food and step up so that's cool. 

Every week is so fast yet so long. Its odd. Matt's still being taught slow and steady. Rachel said we need to try for next week because she was sick. 

We had Interviews and that was great. President said a lot of nice things about the work done while with Elder Wade he was really happy to see the change since we have been comps he has worked really hard. I should be leaving after this transfer I hope I go somewhere new no idea where it'll be interesting to see still in my 3rd area 5 transfers left after this area going by fast!

Love you all 
-Elder Gridley

This week we had our p-day on Saturday so that we would go to the temple and watch an endowment and sealing from Elder Naluai's old area. A super cool special moment.  I'm getting transferred so that's wild. I'm going back to Elizabeth City! It's more or less exactly what I wanted I'm glad to have this happen. I'll be companions with Elder Hill that's going to be a blast. Friday is transfers it will be a lot of driving.  We played some disk golf this week again and I found some poison ivy evidently so. So just putting up with that.  It makes the everyday moment more interesting.  The Elders in our district had their car in the shop and they stayed over almost all week! We had a crazy few days. The downtown part of Suffolk is a 14-mile drive about 30 minutes. We took the bus there and then biked home. That was a fun day. A total of 23 miles biked that day we were dead! So fun though, I want to do it again.  Gunna be horrible to say goodbye to my friend Sa

So much happens every single week here in Chesapeake zone. We went up to serve again at the temple Monday and Tuesday that's why you are receiving this email on Wednesday. The temple is fun to serve at. We removed or put on shoe covering so people can enter the temple. Nice to hear everyone's thoughts on the temple both members and nonmembers of the church. I also love hanging out with the other missionaries and just having fun together. We had 10 Elders spend the night with some local missionaries it was all 10 of us in 2 bedroom apartment so that was a blast. My air mattress had a hole so I moved to the couch what a blessing that was actually slept really well. They had 7 missionaries in one room and 3 in the other I liked being in the 3 the other two missionaries are a lot younger in the mission and it was nice to just chat with them about how they are doing. Super fun though. We had a great lesson with a part member family. They have all been coming to church for years the

  Tuesday the 6th Today started out with interviews with the mission president; which is always really fun. We have seen President Hutchesen a lot recently. Zone conference, stake conference, and interviews. There has been a big focus on trying to talk with everyone and you'd think after being on my mission for 20 months I'd be a natural by now. Well as of 4 weeks ago I'd still kinda dread talking with everyone it's scary as many might agree, but I love it now so much more fun. With the focus to talk with everyone we have also just talked about being focused on our missionary purpose (Inviting others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel by faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost). So what I think of now is do you want to come closer to God? Some people say yes others say no. Among the people who say yes we go further if you are wanting to come closer to God, I know how or I believe
