hi mommy! so first off....daniel and alexandre have been major bummers this week. daniel hasnt answered our many calls and we talked with alexandre and he kinda just said he has lots of committments with his church around christmas time but he will continue reading the book of mormon. so hopefully that will at least help. but its super sad about both of them. Our investigator that was in church last week, elaine, committed to baptism this next sunday!! im praying that everything goes through. it just feels like its been a while and im happy we will get another chance to baptize and bring her unto the gospel. she drinks a lot of coffee and in our lesson she just said she needs a little time to stop so im hoping that is all going good with her right now. i believe we teach her one more time wednesday night and then her interview would be thursday night! that is awesome news, but honestly for the first time in my whole mission i feel like our list is dwindling in size and strength. so im gonna work really hard this week to find new people and contact!

im glad you guys walked away from that honestly, i had a bad feeling about it but hopefully you find something better soon! im sorry yall are sick that sucks! i think i might be feeling something in the early stages right now. thats sad about danis mom, ill make sure to send her something. 

no news on skype....ugh. its hard with LdS sometimes. but he said its easy to set up. we´ll just have to make sure we have email time next week to talk about it and stuff. sally was not gonna go to nyc for a while cause apparently there was an isis threat but they are going now and i have no idea when she will be able to skype. 

i looked for some shoes this week and most dont have my size. some have it in black but i already have black shoes and im looking for brown. next time we go to the office ill look there cause its a bigger part of the city. but dont worry about it for now. i can live with my pair i have. 

still stretching. my feet and back are doing lots better. almost no pain this week!

hmm new food....theres not much of that here haha. but i still love eating at members houses for lunch and its almost always good! the stove is set up! I only use it occasionally honestly. at night when we get home and its 9 or 915 im just so freaking exhausted and i just want to get in bed asap and im usually not too hungry anyway. im not gaining any weight really just staying around the same but i definitely feel a little more skin in my belly!!!! aggggghhh thats really scary. and it makes no sense cause im working out hard and i honesltly thought i was eating less. but im just gonna continue to hit abs hard. 

thats awesome about our patriarchal blessings! they are pretty similar! i never realized that there were people like that and it makes so much sense with the people that are not out to do any good on the earth. but anyway ive read my patriarchal blessing a few times and i love it!! its helped me a lot and so much of it matches up with how i feel now! i love the part that says i will be a man of the scriptures cause i feel like thats totally me now! haha. ive been super motivated and obedient this week. i read a scripture that pretty much said just to always check your obedience and righteousness at different times to make sure you are staying on the right path. so i want to make sure i do that every once in a while on my mission. 

i love you so much mom you are amazing! love you!

its ok mom. just sad and confused. but i know the lord has a plan. just dont understand why it had to happen this way.  she is dating someone i think. he kinda looks like me lol except he has huge ears. your right. its just time to turn a corner. no matter how hard that is. im gonna write her a letter today just telling her how i feel and be done with it. im being transferred. I will go to Jardim Simos and be with an elder I dont know. I will be the senior companion which is really cool. Hes a brazilian, just finished his traning, and has about only 3 months on the mission. Im so glad and relieved. i was just ready to leave aguiar. he is just a difficult person sometimes.  love you mom.  yeah that sounds really difficult and probably something that would be really hard to do at the mission office haha. ok thank you for looking it up.  I love you so freaking much mom! You are my hero! Sorry that it has to be all annoying like this. I will defini...

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 ...
