Hi mommy!!! I'll be on for about 30 mins right now and then I'll be back on again after lunch! I miss you guys a lot and pray for you several times a day! Excited for the package! Dang I miss super chix. I think I might have sam bring me some texas roadhouse rolls when we meet up at the temple next week. I'm so excited for that! That's awesome that everything in the house is done. Hopefully no more huge hail storms for a while.
That is so crazy about Puerto Rico. I can't believe it. That would be really hard to leave when the people need you most, but safety is obviously first priority. I'm sure there will still be plenty of clean up once he gets back in four months or so. 
I love you so much mom! Did you get my pictures of my favorite scriptures? Did you see my pictures in my group email last week? Did they work? Can you find out if they worked for someone who doesn't have a google email?

Yeah I went to the temple. It was awesome! Its fun getting to go every week at least for this little bit. My spirits are pretty good. Its still been hard with sally. Its really hard on her right now which is only making it harder on me. But im not gonna say anything. Its just hard to get her out of my mind sometimes. I pray for it several times a day. But yeah other than that it is good! The language is going well and the people here are aweomse. I got made zone leader this week! So thats exciting. I look over like 30 missionaries. Its daunting and humbling, but I know its a great opportunity to lead by example. That is why God wanted me to be here at this MTC. I will definitely learn and grow from it a lot. But yeah just been working really hard on reading my scriptures and praying and working on Port.

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 ...
