Grayson and Mom on a Mission

yoooo momma. Junior is progressing well. Hes super strong. But now our problem is i think he wants to seperate from his pregnant girlfriend. Which is honestly sad and not what i wanted but they decided that. Which would mean that we can baptize him very soon, but they also decided that they would live together until the baby is out, which is like 4 or 5 months. Its a huge bummer. We will talk to him tonight but i dont think it will work out for his baptism for a while. We'll make sure he is still in church and stuff and visiting him every week. i dont even think he will be having sex with her but just because they are living in the same house we still cant. I asked the AP's and they said its common on the mission but the rule is about living in the same house. So the family of 10 kind of decreased to a family of 5. Others of them went to their church and talked to their pastor about OUR CHURCH. I have no idea what he said but what do you think a pastor of another church would s...

Hello my love!  How as your week?  I'm so excited to hear about Junior.  Did you guys meet with him a lot this week?  How is he progressing?  Also I want to know about the family of 10.  Did they come to church on Sunday?  How did you find them?  We have been praying for all of them.  Your letter last Monday was very powerful.  Dad spoke in church on Sunday and read your letter as an example of accessing the power of Jesus Christ in your life.  I'm so proud of you that you were able to focus on Him and do His work even when your heart was heavy.  And I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father that He has blessed you with so much!  I know you have received comfort and your burdens have been made lighter because of your diligence and obedience and faith.  All of our faith has been strengthened because of you this week.  I feel like I have a stronger testimony of fasting too because I felt a lot of peace about you after ...

Hi mom i love you first of all! After reading sallys letter, im fine i guess. I figured i might be recieving a letter that said we are done today so i guess anything besides that is a positive thing. I think for right now it will be different but i think we can get back to at least being best friends and supportive of each other. She has upsetted me a lot but i dont think it would be a good thing at all to try and start an argument. Im just gonna be normal the next few months and just be two friends sharing stories about our weeks. as time goes on maybe i can ask her some more questions or ill send her a birthday card with a special letter that talks about my feelings. but until then i think itll just be normal. Speaking of that, could you please send me a wonder woman birthday card in my next package. im gonna send it to her. for her letter for my birthday she sent me a super man card so im gonna do that same. I figure when ive got 10 or 12 months down, it will be easier for us to s...

Hello my sweet son! I am so freaking excited to talk to you today.  I know you were struggling so much last Monday and so I was heartbroken too.  We had a wonderful family fast for you on Wednesday and I felt so much peace that things would work out for you and all would be good.  I have prayed constantly that you have been able to feel some peace and comfort this week.  I know this is so tough, G.   I hope you will forgive me because I read Sally's letter to you.  We have been praying and struggling and dying right along side of you for her to respond to your questions.  We have checked your inbox 6 times each day.  We (the four of us, Sam, Abby, Dad and I) have been talking about this non stop because we love you and are dying because you have been hurting.  I just want to give you some things to think about after reading her letter. She is NOT writing you off.  She has said nothing has changed so you need to go with that....

mom sally didnt write me....oh my gosh mom im literally hyperventilating. idk what to do. mom it really is ending i think. mom im not ready for this. im sooooo not ready. i cant do this right now. mom ive been here 4 months only. i cant do this right now. i dont know what to say to her. im literally shaking and i think i might throw up. mom i literally cannot do this right now. i cannot continue my mission if she is really writing me off right now. mom i need to talk with you.

H ello love! All I can really focus on today is to find out from you if Sally wrote or not... because I know you are so focused on that right now.  I have two letters to write you basically, depending on the answer to that question. I'll address it a little later when we talk today.  Let me start by saying, I love you fiercely, Gray!  You are very loved.  We are so incredibly proud of you and I am in awe of the sacrifice you are making and how hard you are willing to work for the Lord. I can see already that you are an incredible missionary. How is your new companion? I want to hear all about him.  Are you guys getting along?  You said he is a hard worker, what does that mean?  I'm sure this is a big change to your routine, but I hope (and have been praying) that he is a great comp and this is a good change for you.  This is your first opportunity to experience change with a comp.  I bet its weird at first.  But there will b...

mom what the freaking heckkkkkkk sally didnt write again. im honestly pretty pissed rn. ughhhhh its been 4 months mom. 4 freaking months thats nothing. how are we gonna do 19 more months of this?????? i guess i have to email her and ask if anything is wrong now. i really dont think anything is wrong i just think shes busy and not thinking about me. which sucks. but if i dont ask her if anythings wrong shes not gonna think that im upset which i am.    it just freaking amazes me that 4 months ago we were talking about all we wanted to do was get married and now  4 months later  she cant even write me one dang letter a freaking week. i dont even know what to freaking say. I dont wanna overreact still but i want her to know that im upset.  ughhhhh thank you for putting the money in! yeah it will only get better from here on out. im ready for a little chilly weather in a few months.  I know im really striving cause i want to be THAT missioniary...

Good morning baby!!!!  How is my favorite missionary in the world? So first off... who is your new companion?? Do you know much about him? How was it saying goodbye to elder LdS?   Tell me about your week!  How is Rafaela doing? Is she progressing toward baptism? Is it still really rainy there? We've been having really cold weather... and another funny weather thing... there was this huge storm that went through the southeast actually bringing snow to florida.  The name of the storm is Grayson.  So cute:) We had a good week at home.  It was nice to have a full week off of school/seminary even after new years.  Sam left yesterday and starts school today. Abby too.  We were back at seminary today.  Dad is now coming with me because he has been called to help with Seminary Security. LOL!  You can imagine how much Dad loves getting up at 5am! He will hopefully only have to be there about every 3rd week because they are calling ot...

Hi mom!  well first, ugghhhhhh sally didnt email me this week/: so obviously my mind is going to the absolute worse case scenario rn. but im sure its nothing, shes not in the same routine cause shes at home with family, but it just kinda sucks to not see an email from her in my inbox. i felt like i was really getting better with all that this week, so this definitely doesnt help. I just wish she would say something so my mind doesnt wonder about it this week. ughh but ill be ok. I had a good week. I worked hard and contacted a whole lot. it was good cause it was honestly the first time i just felt totally comfortable talking with people and knocking doors and stuff. so that was super awesome and exciting for me. it was raining super hard sunday morning so im sure that might have kept a couple people from church. but rafaela (the pregnant women) was there with her boyfriend and Lima da Silva invited her to pray and think about baptism again. I think he would really like to hav...
