Hi baby! How is your week going?! Are you getting excited/nervous about heading to Brazil?! I don't think Parker knows you're coming yet... he's gonna be so excited! I'm getting so excited for you too. This is the part where you really get to share the gospel and embrace this adventure.  Make sure you take lots of pictures and document things in your journal. I can't wait to live it with you!

I hope by now you have the phone and calling card. Make sure you charge it fully and load the minutes on there. Do you get double minutes? If not, You may want to try to use your calling card when you're in salt lake. We can chat more about it tomorrow.

Sydney is here visiting with her boyfriend, Cam. I went to the arboretum today with them and all the Walton's. It was really fun and he is a great guy! We talked a lot about you. Syd loves you!

We celebrated Sam's birthday this week along with mine and dads anniversary. I wish we could have celebrated with sam but it sounds like he had fun. He and a friend are throwing a "White Trash Bash" tomorrow to celebrate both of their birthdays. It sounds so fun. Sam's outfit will be so redneck and hilarious! Dad and I had a great night out on our anniversary with a really yummy dinner at a new restaurant called North. We're definitely taking you when you get home. Dad mowed 25 years into our lawn as an anniversary surprise for me. It was so funny and sweet.

I cannot wait to talk to you Monday! If you know your phone number, included in your email tomorrow. Either way I'll be looking for your call! Is there anything special that you need for me on Monday? Dad will be home when you're in Atlanta so he'll get to talk to you. And abby too! I love you so very much my boy! I hope you are filled with excitement because it's going to be great! I say my prayers for you many times every day. You are amazing and I am so incredibly proud of you. I love you so 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 ...
