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! I love mondays too! and i cant wait to hear about your flip house!

I wanna tell you an awesome story from this week really quick. so one day at lunch the member asked us a cool question. she just said so what has been a miracle in your week. Me and Lima da silva both explained two cool things but the son in law of that member was there and he explained this experience that i thought was sooo cool. so this week he went to be baptized for his dad who passed away. his dad was super bad to him his whole childhood. he was an alcoholic and was never good to the kids or to the mom. After he was baptized for him, he called his mom and his mom told him about a dream his sister had had that night before. She had a dream that she died and entered the spirit world. the first person she saw was her dad. she went to give him a hug and he said that he doesnt deserve to hug her after all the bad things he did for that family. But he ended up telling her about experiences that he was having and how he was learning about the gospel in the spirit world and was starting to accept it. she could see a total change in her dad and his happiness while having the chance to learn of the gospel. he got super emotional telling the story but it was so cool to hear that those two things happened the same day in comparison to their dad. 

I thought that was the coolest thing and just shows how important temple work is. and also that the spirit world truly will be a place of learning for those who didnt hear or accept the gospel while here on earth. 

anyways i love you mom! idk how much longer we will be on. But i love you so much! I started writing letters this week. i wrote abbys and talked about brenden a little and now i heard that she ended it so i think i may have to rewrite the letter hahah. but im glad she ended it cause i dont want her to have to go through the same thing i did with sally when i had to leave. 

you are the best mom in the world!!
