Elder Grace is doing well. He is still enjoying his mission. He will stay in Mt. Zion through another transfer. Elder Payne will be leaving Elder Grace and Elder Christensen will be joining Elder Grace for this next transfer.

looks like some sort of prank here

But nothing Elder Grace and a peace sign cant undo

Elder Grace does not have any current investigators but I'm sure that will change. He is working so hard and his family and I are so proud of him!

I cant believe we are now down to 5 more months?!

I know that time will definitely fly by and Cole will be home before i know it!!!

New Transfer For Elder Grace

Elder Grace and Mitch Sutherland

Cole's previous companion Mitch Sutherland has already come home from his mission but has returned for a visit. Cole and Mitch taught and baptized sister Borden and they now were able to see her go through the temple. That's so awesome! And look at Mitch's hair! wow it sure has grown.

Happy Easter

I have no idea what is in this pitcher but it must be good.

Elder Grace has been transferred to Mt. Zion now. I hope he enjoys the people there and is able to have many good experiences.

Cole's good friend Levi is leaving soon to the MTC in Mexico and then to Indiana to serve a Spanish speaking mission. Two of Cole's friends (Elder Derek Payne and Elder Wunderli) have just come home from their missions just yesterday! (4-22-14) I cant believe it! Its just so exciting to see all these amazing young men doing such amazing work!

Elder Grace and Elder Muir have been doing a lot of tracting and have been able to visit with people. But some people want to try and teach them their beliefs instead. Over all Cole is having a great experience and is so happy he is serving on his mission. I know the next 6 1/2 months will really speed by but I am so proud of this young man!!!!!
