Hey mom I wont respond right now cause i just have like 30 mins right now. My P day was changed to tomorrow since we are going to the temple. But i have a second to let you know at least that it will be tomorrow. i think ill be on late, like maybe 4 or 5 o clock tomorrow, cause the bus ride from Campinas is like an hour and a half. IM SO EXCITED. ive been dying to go to the temple of campinas since i got here. i think its more beautiful than sao paulo. 

but that is so awesome about the house. i literally had a revelation that i knew you guys bought a house so that was kinda crazy. like i just had a super strong feeling earlier today that you guys bought one. but i will definitely keep it all in my prayers. im so excited for you. i know youll work hard on this and it could seriously become a new thing for you. id love to help when i get home(:

where did you get that quote from paul? is it a scripture or what? i love that one. 

a couple things ill tell you so you can answer before tomorrow. 

i got the package! its awesome mom. the bands are working great, they are super good quality. the candy and dp jelly beans are no doubt amazing. and thank you guys so much for the letters. kevins really meant a lot to me. it was simple but great and made me feel special. and of course i loved yours too. i hope you guys get my letters soon. i think it might take a while idk. i sent them the 28th of february so maybe the end of march.

I finished "our heritage" from the series of books you gave me with Jesus the Christ. it was super good and i read it in like a week. I gained knowledge of the restoration and such a respect and appreciation for those that paved the ways before us. i started "our guide to happiness" or whatever its called and am liking it so far. its kinda just a long version of all the lessons we teach here. 

Could you send a tie in my easter package😋 im always dying for new ones even tho i have a good amount. id love like a grayish one i can use with my grey pants. ive got enough blue to go with my suit haha.

ok well im gonna start writing a bday letter to sally to send. i dont wanna come across desperate, just strong and confident. but i also realize this may be like the last time i talk to her in my whole life maybe. i wrote some stuff to her a few months ago knowing i wouldnt send it. i wanted to keep it until after my mission to show her. it kinda just explains my feelings for her and a few cool experiences ive had about her on my mission. i also explain like how sad i was the night before my mission when i bawled to you guys cause she kinda had pushed me off. but i explain it was only that way cause she was no doubt the person i wanted to talk to that night. idk if i should send them with my letter. what do you think? just let me know your thoughts

also last question. this may be dumb hah. i know erik and chels are strong in the church, but do they like visit the temple?? cause there are definitely members here that just never made the temple an important step in their journey. idk its kinda weird. i figured they do but i just wanted to ask. 

love you mom! you are the best and ill finish responding tomorrow. just be checking your email around the time i said. 

love you and miss you so much!!

its ok mom. just sad and confused. but i know the lord has a plan. just dont understand why it had to happen this way.  she is dating someone i think. he kinda looks like me lol except he has huge ears. your right. its just time to turn a corner. no matter how hard that is. im gonna write her a letter today just telling her how i feel and be done with it. im being transferred. I will go to Jardim Simos and be with an elder I dont know. I will be the senior companion which is really cool. Hes a brazilian, just finished his traning, and has about only 3 months on the mission. Im so glad and relieved. i was just ready to leave aguiar. he is just a difficult person sometimes.  love you mom.  yeah that sounds really difficult and probably something that would be really hard to do at the mission office haha. ok thank you for looking it up.  I love you so freaking much mom! You are my hero! Sorry that it has to be all annoying like this. I will defini...

Good morning my sweet boy! How was your week? I’m hoping there were some baptisms and the people followed through on their commitments:) Did you love conference? One of my favorite things about it was how I knew we were sitting there doing the exact same thing at the same time! That was comforting to me. I absolutely loved it! If you didn’t get a chance to watch the women’s broadcast you should try. I will send you an Ensign conference edition when it gets here so you can read all the talks again and study them. I feel like I received many personal messages from the talks. So many of them focused on our ability to stay faithful and receive comfort during trials... not one minute of our suffering is wasted. It is all for our good and our growth. That was one of the messages that I took away and feel strengthened by.  I also felt a recommitment to strengthening my conversion. That also seemed to be a theme of conference. Are we living the gospel by going through the motions and check...

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 ...
