Elder Grimm in May




Recently David has been assigned to train a new Mexican missionary. So far, since arriving in Mexico in late October he's had a grand total of ZERO American/English speaking companions. He was able to call home on Mother's Day and it was pretty fun to hear his Spanish accent. He was also able to talk with Spencer, who served his mission in Mexico, and we laughed and laughed as the two of the jibber jabbered away.

David is still in the south end of Baja California and will probably stay there just a bit longer. In preparation for this return to the mainland he send some stuff home to us. His daily planners were FULL of appointments and names. The work is progressing very well and it's pretty common to have photos emailed home of a baptism. He loves being a missionary and his emails have changed so much that we've wondered aloud what happened to the kid that left here - it doesn't even sound like him anymore. However, as you can see...the area where David is serving is...shall we say...a little barren?
