still no mission debit card. it sucks, but ive had enough cash. i need to get reimbursements for a few things but i will when i get my card. hopefully this week or next. 

yeah most of the food here is pretty cheap. yeah taking my vitamins most days. 

we baptized carlos and we have a baptism set for rafaela next week! she is pregnant and her bf is a member lol. but i think she has a good desire. mostly its been referalls lately which has been nice but i know i have lots of tracting in my future haha. 

we will be at the mission office this wednesday or thursday so hopefully its there by then. if not ill talk to lima da silva about going next week. 

what?? that is awesome news about the house! i have been praying for you to have something like that. im glad it will be something that you like too. that is an awesome opportunity. hopefully you guys can make a good chunk of change. 

thank you for the talk mom. i know that everything i go through is for my experience and growth and i know that christ gives us trials for our good and to humble us. its still hard lots of times but im trying better to just choose happiness. im here! i cant change that at this point. it would be a waste of time to not be happy during this time. so ive been working on that this week and its gone better. 

i love you mom thanks for the bday message. how did all these people know about my bday?? did you post on facebook or something?

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 ...
