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 see the end and a future together, but right now im just gonna be normal. I checked my email on tuesday and i know that was wrong, but i was literally having trouble sleeping over it all. after that i was soooo frustrated and upset but i prayed about it and ultimately realized that being obedient would bless me. and i think thats exactly what happened. I figured you would be reading all of our emails, but i would ask you after this is all over next week or so that you wouldnt do that. i hope you can respect that. Thank you for all the words of love mom. you are truly my #1 in this life and i love you soo so much.
im gonna try to start moving on from this all and just get back to normal missionary life. we worked so hard this week and it was awesome and it payed off. I forgot almost completely about sally when i was out there working hard. I know the lord will bless me for being obedient and working hard.
I 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 ...
