Happy Halloween!
Hello family and friends!! Happy Halloween :))
Monday night we helped, well kinda helped, at the Ellsworth's house to
get ready for the Halloween party! We swept out the area where they
were going to feed everyone. Ate dinner at the Fletchers that night :)
Tuesday we went over to Sister Millers house and shared Mosiah
24:12-16 with her. She's still going through stuff with her health and
her sister. We tried to stop by some less actives but a lot of them
weren't home. We talked to this one less active man and he told us
pretty much his whole life story on his porch.. we were just standing
there like uhhhhh. It was awkward haha 😂 we stopped and talked to
Brother Brinkley. He has a bunch of puppies!!!
Wednesday we stopped by the Perkel. The husband is active but the wife
is not. He is hilarious. Again, not a lot of people were home. We gave
Ellen a Book of Mormon. She seems really interested so we will see! :)
ate dinner with the Kubeshs. The husband is hilarious and I was
cracking up the whole time 😂 his wife made a dessert she hasn't made
before and the husband looks at it and says "it looks like an apple
pie that died!" 😂😂
Thursday we had district meeting. Took some pics because it was the
last district meeting of this transfer!! Afterwards we went to this
historic society thing and we are going to start volunteering there
every Thursday! We stopped by and had a lesson with Laquanda! Please
pray for her!!
Ate dinner at the Crattys (ward mission leader and family) and got our
hair cut!! Just trimmed off the dead layers! Haha.
Friday we actually finished weekly planning in one day!! A miracle!
haha. We had an awesome ward Halloween party but it wasn't just the
ward. It was everyone!!! It was huge and there was a ton of people
there! It was really fun. The Ellsworths are awesome and they hold a
party every year because their daughters birthday is on Halloween!
They are a crazy wild family 😂😂 afterwards we went over to the Bergs
and fed her cat!
Saturday morning we fed her cat again and cat sitted haha. Went to the
Fletchers for breakfast! Had a lesson with the Martinez family but
they weren't home! We stopped by this less actives house and this guy
said it was his right name, right phone number, but said he has no
affiliation with the Mormon church and has no family members that he
knows of that are Mormons.. um, what? He said he was baptized baptist
or something. It was so strange!! I've never had that happen before!!
Ate dinner with shotgun and penny. They again gave us a bunch of
desserts!!
We fed the cat again and watched it!
Sunday morning transfer calls came!! Sister Fuelling and I are staying
here in Bayview another transfer :)) we fed the cat again. We had a
special stake broadcast thing at our church. Our ward and stake
boundaries got realigned! We are losing some people but we aren't
getting any new people. The New Castle ward is now called the Newark
2nd ward. The West Chester ward in the valley forge stake is changing
and some members there are coming to our stake. We watched the
restoration movie with Destiny. I love Joseph Smith. I know that he
was called of god to restore this church. We talked to a lot of people
that want us to come back on Tuesday!! (Tomorrow) that is exciting.
Ate dinner at the Ellsworth's.
Monday. Halloween! We went out this morning and tried to visit some
less actives. We went to the mall and I got some long sleeve shirts.
Got chick fil a. Now emailing and we are going to the Fletchers
(shocker right?) tonight and we have to be in our apartments at 6:00
but we are allowed to email family! And take the time to study and
additional pday stuff that we can do in our apartment (like laundry)
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween tonight!! Be careful!
Love you all!!!

Elder Lynn G Robbins!
Hello everyone!! How is everyone today? :)
Monday night we had dinner with the Nair's. Cute family! After dinner
we went outside and watched a rocket up in the sky! It was being
launched from Virginia and we can see it from their house! It was so
cool! And then we attempted to finish weekly planning. We always get
distracted..
Tuesday the district leader and his companion doubled in to our area
and so did the zone leaders. Crazy!!
we did weekly planning again.
Stopped by and talked to Sister Miller.
Had a lesson with the Aultmans. The wife and kids are not members but
the husband is, he is just super less active.
Sister Wheeler brought us dinner.
Wednesday we had some lessons set up that the elders set up for us but
they all fell through..
We did meet a new person named Ellen though! We are going to give her
a Book of Mormon.
Ate dinner at the Bileks. Cutest family ever. 2 little boys and a mom
and dad. The dad is not a member.
Thursday we had some conference with the Dover zone! We talked about
planning, personal study, and companionship study. It was good.
Members from the Newark 3rd ward fed us lunch 😊 baked potatoes!
We were going to have a church tour with Laquanda at our church
building but she didn't show up. We also can't get a hold of her 🤔 we
had to drop her date 😔
We had a Facebook lesson with Destiny (recent convert) and set her
with a temple date to do baptisms with the youth on November 19th!
We were going to have a lesson with Erin but she cancelled.
Ate dinner at the Tequianes. We had the best quesadillas everr.
Friday weekly planning again. We were going to meet s guy that the
zone leaders found but he cancelled because he was rearranging a
funeral.
We met Cheyenne Bedo. A cute young girl who sometimes attends the
Newark 1st ward.
Went over and shared a message with Sister Croy.
Ate dinner at Bakers restaurant with shotgun and penny. So fun and so
good. I got a 7 cheese Mac n cheese with bacon 😍
Went over to the Bergs house. We are going to be watching and feeding
their cat when they go on vacation.
Saturday we contacted a bible referral. He only wanted a bible and
wasn't interested in a Book of Mormon 🤔
We had a mission conference with all of the missionaries in the PPM
and Elder Lynn G Robbins of the seventy!! It was so awesome. We got to
shake his hand! He talked about Christlike attributes. And he started
talking about marriage and it turned into pre marriage 505 😂 he also
talked about a devotional he gave titled, "tasting the light"
Ate dinner at the Griffiths house. Cute crazy kids!!
Sunday we had ward council and church! Amanda Aultman came to church!
And so did Sister Holiday!
We ate dinner at the Ellsworth's. Their family hosts a huge Halloween
fest every year. We are excited!
I don't remember if I said this already or not but the scripture we
are memorizing this transfer is d&c 11:21.
I love you all and hope you have a great week! I am tired and hungry..
Eating over at the Fletchers tonight 😋 ribssss.
Oh! I am finally getting my hair trimmed this week 😂
Also, I hit my half way mark on the third..... ahhhhhhhhh
Love,
Sister Gronning

Yawning Gronning
Hellooooo everyone!!!
So no one can pronounce or remember my last name so I tell them it's
like yawning Gronning. And then I thought "wow, I'm always yawning so
that fits perfectly!" 😂
Monday - we ate dinner at the Webbs. I don't remember what else we did .. haha.
Tuesday - we stopped by some less actives. All three of them happened
to all be named Patricia and they were all do not contacts 😂😬 one
of them said she wrote a letter to get her records removed. Alrighty
then!
We got our tire pressure fixed. Had to cancel a lesson with Brittany 😒
We stopped by some more less actives and invited them to the relief
society activity that night.
We went to the relief society activity. It was "soup for the soul" we
ate soup and talked about our thoughts on general conference and the
women's broadcast.
Wednesday - we went to the Boyles house. The wife is extremely less
active and her husband is extremely active.. Haha. We got to know her
and she fed us lunch. We were over there for a really long time and
they both liked to talk..
We went over to Sister Granatos house and met her daughter, Sister
Collins. We listened to the conference talk by Elder Nelson about Joy.
Ate dinner at home I think and after I think we went over to Sister
Bowens house and cleaned the rest of her chinchilla cages... 😬 she
has a tonnnn. And after that we went to the Fletchers farm because
they were having a mutual activity there and we were in jeans so why
not? haha.
Thursday - district meeting. 3 lessons cancelled.. Mary dropped us..
she texted us back after we asked if we can come over that night at
6:30 and said "you can but I just want to let you know that I'm not
going to become Mormon. You are more then welcome to come see my dad"
🤔 we were going to have a lesson with Laquanda but she got called
into work. We stopped by and shared a message with Sister Miller.
Ate dinner at the Kemptons. Cutest family ever.
Had a lesson with Erin and her son. Sister Fletcher came with us and
it was awesome! Taught the Plan of salvation. Her son had great
questions!
Friday - interviews with President Randall!! I love my mission
President so much. He is so awesome. You can really tell her just
loves and adores his missionaries and wants to help us succeed.
We attempted to weekly plan but didn't really get anywhere haha.
Shared a message with Sister Scafe. We showed her the Mormon message
called "good things to come"
Ate dinner with shotgun and penny.
Went over to the Fletchers to go over the ward list.
We were supposed to meet the Sister Training Leaders in Elmer, NJ for
exchanges but it was to far for us and we ended up being at the
Fletchers for awhile so they drove all the way to our apartment and
they slept over and then on Saturday morning I went to New Jersey with
Sister Hyte!
Saturday - I went to Vineland with Sister Hyte. We taught this cute
family with 7 kids about how we got the Book of Mormon, using the
children's book. That was fun.
We taught the restoration to a bible referral.
We did service.
Ate dinner at a less actives house.
Had accountability. That's pretty much it!
Sunday - Sister Fuelling and I gave talks in sacrament meeting! We
talked about missionary work obviously! haha. We had some less actives
there so that was awesome!
During relief society, the primary president grabs us and said she
needed our help to sit with the junior primary during singing/sharing
time because their teachers were all in a meeting. That was so fun!
They are preparing for their primary program next week! The singing
time took the whole hour haha.
Ate dinner with the Weimers. They have two little girls and a little
boy on the way due in January! So cute.
Oh so Halloween falls on a Monday and so we have to be in our
apartment and parked at 6:00pm and we have to proselyte for 2 hours
during the day and we can pick anytime for that. Should be
interesting!
Love you all!
