oh my gosh mom thank you so much. it really means a lot to me and seeing that picture made me so so so so freaking happy. im glad you were able to see her. im jealous of you for getting to see her and im jealous of her for getting to see you!

i cant believe dani is pregnant again! thats pretty crazy. im happy for her tho and im glad the funeral went well. thats awesome you got to be back at church in byu!!! I know you love the glory days there(; hahah

i think skype should work around that time. i told Lima da silva 4 o clock our time so if you guys could try to get back even a little earlier that would be awesome. i think we should have plenty of time. i dont think it will be 3 or 4 hours or anything like that but hopefully a good 2 or 2.5 hours. i guess we´ll see. honestly i dont really know what rules i wanna make just cause ive never done this before. but lima da silva wont wanna hang there for super long anyway. ill probably just want to talk 1 on 1 with you i think. im gonna try to prepare myself and be as happy as possible so things go smoothly. hopefully everything goes well with sally that morning. i think im gonna skype her at like 10am my time 7amher time cause thats literally the only time shell be in her hotel in new york. im honestly just kinda sad today with everything with her. emails are just so different now and the part that sucks is that is just happened so fast. like literally one week i could tell the difference. like i went back and looked at some of our older emails and just got sad cause i dont get to hear her say stuff like that anymore. but ill be ok. im gonna try to be really happy this week and the mission is having a christmas thing tomorrow which should be really fun. im sorry but i doubt we will be able to do a practice. first of all the house we are going to is pretty far away and LdS is just weird about stuff like that. but please seriously dont worry. we will get our skype time. whether its the 25th the 26th or the 30th. but obviously i think everything will work out the 25th and he said hes never had any problems. 

i dont think i need anything from you this week. but i think im gonna ask abby to post a picture of me on my instagram on christmas eve (i think its better to post then) so if you could just follow up with her on that. i think ill have her post the one of me standing in front of the temple. also btw i think i might get on insta or something on sunday and just send you a quick message to you and just confirm everything. but it will be like 3 my time so probably before you guys post the picture. 

i think ill feel very close to the savior this christmas. ive learned already soooooo much how to rely on him and truly trust in his plan and literally not doubt anything that happens in my life because i know its cause of his plan. its a pretty cool feeling. most of the days are honestly really good but definitely i still struggle sometimes. but anyway i love you so much mom thank you for being my biggest supporter. you are my #1 and so important to me. i cannot freaking wait to see yalls faces and talk with you guys. obviously i know it may be a little sad but please tell everyone to try to be happy and ill try to do the same. 

i love you so much!! see you in 1 week!!!

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 ...
