Elder G!!! It's Monday again. They seem to come pretty quickly although sometimes during the middle of the week I just want to see your face!!! I wonder each day how your week is going, if you're having a good, happy day, I wonder if the language is going well, etc. so I'm so excited that it's Monday so I get to hear all about it!

We had a good week. Sam flew home Thursday night and leaves really early Monday morning. He is going to drop something off at the mtc today:) I hope you like it. I made it fresh tonight so by tomorrow it will still be totally delish. Let me know when you get it.

We introduced sam to super chix. I'm not sure that he thought it was any big deal. The fries were not on par that day and kinda soggy so we'll have to try again sometime.

We got a lot done on the house this week. New roof. All new gutters and a freshly stained fence. The house looks really good. However dad clogged our toilet and can't fix it so.... there's that. But I'm so glad the roofers are gone. The pounding on the roof constantly was driving me and the dogs crazy.

I'm not sure if u heard but there was another huge hurricane that hit Puerto Rico this week. Tyson Santiago is on his mission there. At the last minute they brought every missionary in to stay at the mission home and in the mission office. They went four days without showers and couldn't go back to their apartments because everything was under water and destroyed. All missionaries are being reassigned to other missions for at least a few months. They don't expect to have any power/electricity for 4 months and food and water are running low. So Tyson will be in Florida for a few months now. I think he's really sad about it because he loves some of the people there and hates to leave in their time of need. But I'm grateful for inspired mission presidents that do all they can to keep missionaries safe.

I'm so excited to talk with you today my wonderful son! I love you so very much!!

Happy happy 6 months Elder G!!!  That is so exciting!  Are you going to burn a tie today?  Isn't that the tradition?? That feels pretty amazing to have 25% done.  How are you doing my love?  Are you feeling strength and comfort?  I pray for it everyday for you.  You are constantly on our minds and hearts and in our prayers.  We talk about you many times every day.  You are such an important part of our family and I miss you soooo very much.   I know you've had some very rough weeks but I pray that you are feeling stronger.  I read something this week that made me think of you.  D&C 101:36 says that "in this life your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full."  Sometimes in life we just won't feel happy.  If we are expecting to be happy 100% all of the time, we will be 100% disappointed.  Because this life is a probationary state, we will have struggles, trials and hardships.  But I love t...

Yo yo momma, so transfers will be next week. SO in my email next week i will let you guys know. I really think that ill stay here. This area definitely has its problems but i also love it here and i really wanna stay here one more transfer. Plus it will be great to settle in with Alessandra and Lucianno after their baptism as members of the church. So btw...our prayers were answered!!! We went there on Monday night and I was sweating the whole time thinking about what i would say to firm them up for baptism. I started to talk a little bit about marriage and how it was preparing them for baptism and she literally cuts me off out of nowhere and asks "So what time will the baptism be on Saturday?" I felt the spirit soooo strongly and felt like it was an answer to my prayers and it was the Lord saying "dont worry i got this one". since then they are gotten super firm. They talk about raising a family in this church, temple marriage, and even serving a couples mission!!!...

Hey buddy!    I’m glad I finally get a chance to sit down and write. Baby stuff has taken over my life but we are very excited to have Harper with us in the next few weeks. Excited for you to meet your new little cousin when you return. Sounds like you are doing really well! I know you’ve had minor struggles and home sickness along the way, but it’s good to see you pumped and positive. Sounds like you’re doing a great job!     Hey listen, I know everyone has chimed in on the girl situation and you’re probably tired of talking about it at this point, but I wanted to try to talk to you about it as well because I’ve had the unwelcome pleasure of going through 3 life changing heart breaks that I never thought I’d recover from so I can speak to you from experience and hopefully put some perspective on things.     I had been with Alicia for 5 years, we were in love but it was more than that. It was how the family loved her, how much I loved her family and ...
