That is so awesome about cam and syd. I hope they had such a great time and remembered every moment. The location does look pretty sweet. i think its almost impossible to have a perfect wedding where everything is planned right, but it was good at least you got to catch up with everyone and be together as a fam. 

hahaha erik "just fat" thats funny. im sure they felt lots of joy being able to share that news with everyone. 

i miss the dogs! i miss good dogs, cute dogs, not loud dogs....hahah i hate dogs here mom. I will talk more about it on skype but they are soooo bad here and so annoying. so i hope to come home and adore the pups at home. 

i loved the pics! im happy we have a facebook page where they can share that kind of stuff. zone conferences are seriously my favorite days and its so good to see other missionaries that are in the same game as you. Like it said in the letter, theres no way i would be doing any of this without you and dad and the way you raised me! Even if i never get another leadership opportunity on the mission i want to strive every day to be better and better and help more people than the day before. 

glad you guys are landing and i get to talk to you today!!

So i received a "personal money order" from john something for christmas. i wanna say conkling but i forgot. I took a pic i can send to you. but i have no idea what to do with it. i dont trust mailing anything now to you cause my letters still arent freaking there!! i think its time to accept that they were lost😔😒 but what can i do with it? its 20 bucks so im definitely not trying to lose it. 

also im having to pay 15 reais to get my package that you sent cause it was stopped in sao paulo. it sucks but whatever. i 
should get it next zone conference i think. idk when that will be but probably the next week or two

do you remember why you put down numbers 20-21 on that bible to read list? i didnt really understand too much what it was talking about. it talked about the brass serpant or whatever which i remember hearing but thats it.

Did you see that parker was in the state of sao paulo in campinas?!?!?! he was literally like an hour and 15 mins away in a car. I wanted to see him so bad but he didnt even get my number to call me!!!! hahah that would have been so dope.

love you momma!

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 ...
