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!!

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 ...
