Yes i lovedddddd conference! such an awesome experience and i feel like i learned a ton. and yeah we gotta a BRASILEIRO as an apostle!!! im pretty sure hes the first apostle that english isnt his first language besides uchtdorf. but hes the first from south/central america so it goes to show how strong brazil is in the church. we were in the chapel listening when they announced it and the stake president on the stand did a total fist pump hahah and the chapel all gasped. My comp said it was like Brazil had just scored a goal in the world cup hahahahha. 

NO WAY. im sooooo freaking happy for erik and for his decision to go to the Lord and ask for help and get his life straight. that is sooooo so awesome im so happy rn. and to see that hes already been blessed because of it is so great. i think it will keep him on the right path for the rest of his life. That is so awesome that they are pregnant. i bet they were feeling like they wanted to really bad cause kevin and misti got pregnant so quickly. now their kids will grow up together! 

i love the scripture. it really shows that we are the only thing that stands between ourselves and the Lord. its never him who is seperating himself. a scripture that was used in conference is that jesus is standing at the door and he even KNOCKS for us! But if we accept him and let him in we will sup with him. i love that scripture and how it all connects. 

abby didnt tell me the story of cater so i wanna hear. 

i think i have an interview with president before i start training and then i think he will talk to us as a group a little. this transfer ends today and a new one starts tomorrow. this one flew by! Alvarenga will go to the capital. and also this next transfer is only 5 weeks instead of 6 for some reason so it will fly by super super fast. im so excited to train!

I 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 ...
