hi momma! Yeah so i saw sam this morning. It was actually super good and really happy. I'm a little trunky now, but I'll be fine. It's also cause of sally too. Like she'll just send me pictures and my heart just starts to pound. She took some fall pictures this week and mom she is seriously the most beautiful girl on this planet. I can't believe it. If I pull this off I feel like i'll be the luckiest man in the world. She is perfect haha. I think she is still struggling a bit, which makes me sad but i guess is also good. Its just hard cause no matter how much I try not to think of her, I still do and honestly my feelings have only gotten stronger. I don't know what I would do if she got married. I don't think I could leave bed for a week. So yeah Im not even gonna lie about that it would suck sooooo bad. So hopefully she's just there when I get back haha. But she does seem crazy about me still and misses me a whole lot so I'm hoping at least a trace of those feelings stay all two years. 

So a few things. I need my patriarchal blessing! I seriously have no idea where it would be at home. I know I brought it back up to byu after christmas break and I know I brought it home but idk where it is now. So you might have to get a new copy and send that to me. Feels like I havent read that in forever. 

Also did you call uncle jon yet about my money yet and what we could do with it? The only other thing I think I may need is just some generic acne pads. They will be nice to use in the middle of the day when I cant wash my face. My acne still struggles even though I wash my face with soap and put stuff on it morning and night. And I only sweat after exercise time and I always shower right after. 

I loved conference! I had an awesome experience and felt the spirit a whole lot. I loved Jeffrey R Hollands talk about the atonement and the immense debt we have for Christ. I loved Ronald A. Rasbands talk about Gods divine design and that he always has a plan for us. I loved when W. Craig Zwick mentioned the story of Beau. That hit me super hard again and there was a strong spirit here during that. I loved when Donald L. Hallstrom asked us "Do I have the faith to not be healed from earthly afflictions according to HF's plan?" It made me think a lot about sally. And for me to understand that if something were to happen that it would all be according to God's plan and would be for the best of me. I know I need to get to the point where I have that point of view and I won't be mad at my mission if that were to happen cause I would lose her. I am not even close to that point yet honestly but I think I am working slowly inch by inch. I also know she wouldnt marry me anyway if I didnt go on a mission most likely. But yeah and then lastly I liked Tad R. Callisters talk about evidences of the book of mormon. I've always been into that kind of stuff and i think it would be something really  cool to show to investigators. 

Love you mom!

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 ...
