Hello!
So sorry to hear about Grandpa! Makes me pretty sad. But also makes me really happy. Sometimes we go to a dimentia care home and just talk to the patients there. I'm glad that Grandpa has his memory back and I know that he's happy. Love that guy! I know that because of the Atonement "Death has no sting" and "The grave no victory"
This week we got 2 new investigators. One was a man that we the missionaries met about 2 weeks before I got to this area. He works at the HEB that we grocery shop at. His name is Jason. He is an awesome guy. We met with him on Wednesday at the church. We also had a member with us who is a recent RM. The lesson was really hard to stay focused and on track but it was good. He had a lot of questions. He ended up being very interested in The Book of Mormon and committed to read and pray about it. The second new investigator is named Jim. We met him just walking around last Saturday. The street contact was kind of interesting. He said he wasn't too interested but ended up giving us his address. Didn't make much sense. haha. Anyway, we knocked on his door and had a short, run down version of the Restoration. He too became very interested in The Book of Mormon and committed to read it. Both of these new investigators aren't what you would sometimes call a "golden investigator" but anything can happen if they read the Book of mormon and pray sincerely about it. So we'll see what happens. :)
We also met with Anthony & Lexi this week. We taught the Plan of Salvation and it was a really good lesson. Anthony wants to be baptized but because of some legal issues and the fact that they aren't married, it will take some time. We will continue to meet with them though. This sunday both wards that we cover had a farewell. Later on we went to the little open house that was for one of them. It was weird being there because it made me remember the feelings that I was going through. Then I saw that they had her call letter framed and on display, I can't believe I opened mine almost a year ago?? Can you believe that? Unreal. Time is flying. Yesterday was my 8 month mark. Time is flying. Well, I hope you all have a great week. I love and miss you all.
love,
Elder Steed

One of the many lakes in our area.
Every lake or pond is infested with turtles
("Infested"? That's awesome! I'd say "blessed" or something :P)
You get pretty tired by the end of the day..
