September 6, 2017 From Gray

Hey guys, I made it! I feel ok, im just ready to get to work. I love you guys and wanna thank you for all that you guys have done for me. I wouldn't be here without you guys. Mom thanks so much for getting me all packed and stuff that was a huge help!

I need to add two emails to my list. One is Xani Eckel, Sally's sister, she commented it on my insta post so youll find that one there. Then I also need sam to text kade randall my roommate at BYU and get his email. Then he can text you that email. So mom could you get on my account and add both of those emails to my big list today? Thank you so much!

I really do feel good. I know I'm in good hands at the MTC and its huge! I met my companions briefly (I'm in a trio) and they seem cool, especially one of them. We are the only 3 people going to Brazil which is crazy cause we all had visa problems. There are more Portuguese speakers, but we are the only ones going to Brazil. I love you guys so much!

MY P DAY IS MONDAY! At least thats what I think. Everyone is talking Portuguese to me lol.

Good morning my sweet boy! How was your week? I’m hoping there were some baptisms and the people followed through on their commitments:) Did you love conference? One of my favorite things about it was how I knew we were sitting there doing the exact same thing at the same time! That was comforting to me. I absolutely loved it! If you didn’t get a chance to watch the women’s broadcast you should try. I will send you an Ensign conference edition when it gets here so you can read all the talks again and study them. I feel like I received many personal messages from the talks. So many of them focused on our ability to stay faithful and receive comfort during trials... not one minute of our suffering is wasted. It is all for our good and our growth. That was one of the messages that I took away and feel strengthened by. I also felt a recommitment to strengthening my conversion. That also seemed to be a theme of conference. Are we living the gospel by going through the motions and check...

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 ...
