About a month ago. My sweet in-laws went from Gene and Marcia Gronning to Elder and Sister Gronning. They are currently serving a mission in Moscow Russia. The people of Russia are so luck to be blessed with such sweet spirits. While they are missed greatly here I am sure they will touch many lives in Russia that need them. Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. I am grateful for Gene and Marcia and the example that they are to me. The faith that they are showing is amazing. I am lucky to know them and I am so blessed to have married their son.
We got the opportunity to move into their home and take care of it while they are away. We are getting settled and having fun with all the extra space we have. We are getting to know the neighbors and getting our feet planted pretty well. Everyone is very nice and we have felt very welcome here.
The ward is amazing and very on top of things. The day after we moved in the RS were at the door, the asked me if I wanted to be a visiting teacher, I said "yes" and BAM-- my first week at church I was given my visiting teaching assignment. I also received a calling on Sunday, I will be a teacher in the primary. They are not wasting ANY time. I have lived here 3 weeks! I can't wait to see what they have in store for Mitch. I am sure it is something big! I will keep you posted!
The girls love it here, never a dull moment. They get excited to show people their new house when they come to visit. Morgan wants to have a different friend over everyday! They both enjoy riding bikes in the backyard. They are constantly on the trampoline. But... some of their favorite things about this house my surprise you!

ANTS...
They love looking for ant piles for daddy to kill. This is a big one they found in the front yard. We enjoyed spraying the ants and watching them crawl up the wall to get away. Then dropping off of the wall one by one as they died. Quite exciting!!!

THE PANTRY...
The best place, as any of the grand kids will tell you... is Granny's pantry. Granny always kept her pantry fully stocked of all the good stuff. Cookies, chips, cereal (the good kind mommy doesn't buy), beef jerky, and the infamous treat jar. My girls think that the pantry is still free reign like it was when Granny was here. Well, IT'S NOT!!! I finally had to get a lock on the pantry to show the girls who was boss. They seem to forget so quickly! ;)

I have to tell you, we met with our Bishop our first day after sacrament and he asked if we wanted callings and would Visit Teach/Home Teach.. I half expected to have a calling by Sunday.. but still nothing. So we'll see how quick we are asked to serve or speak!
