Fast Week

Hello family! I was very touched looking at those pictures you sent me of the anniversary. I really wish I could have been there to share that memory with you all. I have to say that you all look great. First off- mom, I'm diggin the hair. Looks so fantastic. Theres no way you are 40. I dont believe you.
dad, you look sooo handsome! my heavens. Lookin good in that suit. I'd say it was a french suit if I didnt know any better. Kelly- you look absolutely adorable (is that weird for a brother to say about his sister..? yes its pretty weird but true haha). Next time we'll do it all together!

Things really moved quick this week. On tuesday I was back to Lyon for Zone Leader Council. It's always the best part of the transfer. President Roney had his son in law come and share some very moving experiences with us. They had a child that passed away after a couple weeks (if anyone listened to Elder Andersons last general conference address that is the family he was talking about). The spirit was very strong. Thursday we had Zone Training Meeting, and the assistants came down and attended and we did an exchance with them after. I was with Elder Fox who went to brighton high school. Great kid, and an incredible missionary. We were jr jazz ennemies actually before the mission. His team and mine played junior and senior year in the championship and fights always broke out haha. Good times.

We're having some pretty crazy miracles come to pass right now. Right now we have 6 ami's with baptismal dates, and three of them should be for sure getting baptised the 30th of this month. Ill write a quick couple things about them. Fabrice is a lovable man who is about 35. He litterally understands the gospel better, and more simply than I. Yves is 23 from madagascar. He was on the national Tai Kwon Do team. He's a great athlete and we have been playing basketball with him every week since we've started teaching him. We went on an epic hike with him and some other YSA's from the ward. Fantastic times. Morgan is 10 and is in a less active family that just got found and that we're reactivating. He's adorable. If all goes well these 3 people should be getting baptised in a couple weeks. Please pray for them!

I havent been able to send pictures in a couple weeks so I'll send some right now! I love you all and I know that this Gospel is true. It allows us to be happy. Trust Jesus. Faith is the most important thing we can learn in this life. Its what connects us to the 'supernatural' and makes magic things happen. Have a great week. 

Love,
Elder Gruber
