hi mom! well sally didnt email me this week. whatever. im thinking its probably winding down. idk what to think. when i think about it i just get depressed so i just dont think about it. i still think that if shes there when i get back we'll be fine and feel all those feelings again. she just needs some time. 

but thank you for your email. i think it was awesome what abby said and the conversation you guys had. im glad we can be an example to her. 

so did you activate my debit card?

funny stuff from this week. 1 MORE WEEK IN THIS TRANSFER YAYYY LOL
so aguiar was explaining to one of our investigators that you have to see through the eyes of jesus. He explained a rule that after 6pm missionaries shouildnt buy like food or use the bathroom or something. (which idk if thats even a rule ive never heard of it) and he said it was hard for him last transfer when his comp would use the bathroom or something after 6. He said he had to "put himself in his comps shoes and think that maybe he just really needed to use the bathroom" OMG i was like so this is what this nigga is thinking every time i freaking get a drink or go to the bathroom after 6. ugh mom hes crazy i cant wait for next week. i hope so so bad i am transferred. 
also we were telling the scariest stories from our mission and he literally said the scariest thing was one time a girl new to the church tried to do the kiss on the cheek thing with him cause she didnt know missionaries couldnt do it. hahahahaha i was like THAT is the scariest thing from your 9 month mission so far?????!!!! lol

also i think you guys should order a soda off of amazon called guarana. its the big soda here. just order like the cheapest 6 pack. i like it a lot i think its really good. and if you delivered one to eric he would be so so happy haha. 

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 ...
