I'm so excited to talk to  you today G!  We have been praying for you so much this week and we had a good fast too.  I'm praying that you have felt some peace, comfort and a lot of love this week.  I'm also praying that your new companion is a great guy and he is becoming a good friend. I'm praying that your new area has been a good one and that you are busy teaching and meeting some wonderful people that you are connecting to. So I can't wait to hear from you my love!

Well, how did  your first week as big senior comp go????  I hope it was fantastic.  I know you might feel some pressure, but I hope that is nothing too bad.  You are well prepared to serve in this capacity.  If you will trust your instincts, work very hard, and pray for inspiration and direction, you will do wonderful.  So take the responsibility to heart ( I know you do) and do your very best.  The Lord will help you if you get on your knees and ask for his guidance.  You are a powerful young man (you have the priesthood and access to the power of the atonement).  You can do anything with the Lords help.

Who are your new District Leaders?  Any Americans in your district? Any guys you like a lot?  

What do you do at transfer Meetings?  Does the whole mission meet together or just the ones that are transferring?  Did you meet with your Mission President during transfers? Were you able to take care of your debit card? I saw some emails going back and forth so it seems like it is resolved.

How is your new comp???  

Any investigators this week?  Who can we pray for?

Here is my quote for you this week.  I think it fits so perfectly for you.

"I wanted to let each of you individually know that God loves you. As you reach out to your Father in Heaven, you will find that His hand has never ceased reaching out to you. God calls to you. God knows your every thought, your sorrows, and your greatest hopes. God knows the many times you have sought Him. The many times you have wept in loneliness. The many times you have felt helpless, confused, or angry. The many times you have failed. Yet, no matter your history—if you have faltered, feel broken, bitter, betrayed, or beaten—know that you are not alone. God still calls to you. I testify there is always hope. Trust the Lord. Listen to His voice. Be open to His promptings." - Dieter Uchtdorf

Read 2 Nephi 32:9

I know that you need the Lord very much right now.  I hope you feel his love for you. I hope you can feel my love for you my son. The great thing is the Lord cares about all of your challenges big and small because He loves you!  Learn to trust Him and lean on Him during your life's challenges and trials.  

I love you sooooo very much Gray! Tell me how you've been feeling and thinking this week. I have thought about you non stop.  Stay strong my boy.

Infinity + infinity and even more than that.

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 ...
