I love you so much mom! Yesterday was incredible! Its such a happy moment any time i get to talk with my family. i was seriously so excited and happy the whole week waiting to talk to you guys cause there is nothing that makes me happier. 

im looking forward to getting back to the work now and giving my all to this. Trusting in the lord that everything will work out if i give my all. That i may baptize 100 or 0, but I know if i give my all it wont matter. 

I guess in your prayers this week just pray that elites can be put in our path and that pamela and rafael will continue strong. 

I know its pretty weird to think how much is already over! It makes me want to give even more every week cause i know how fast it will go by. 

I wanna thank you for my package as well! The peeps and sour patch watermelon and chocholate covered marshmallow bunnies are spot onnnnnn!!! I will read the talk this week too. Loved the pics of our fam. we have so many great memories together as a family!

I am a little sad today just cause yesterday was so awesome but ill be ok after i get started working this week. I guess i always also thought id be skyping sally so that was weird too. It just sucks cause im still not where i want to be with her yet. Every picture of her i see i just think she is the most perfect girl to ever be born. so if it were officially put off at this point i would struggle no doubt. Im just praying that some of these feelings can be taken away from me and that i can be given more trust in HF plan for me every day

I love you mom! You are the best thing in this world! I cannot thank you enough for your support and for everything you have done for me up to this point.

Also I sent abby an email about my insta post so have her check! and also send me some caption ideas i have no idea what to say

TO THE FAMILY:
Hey guys i just wanna thank you guys for such and awesome day and talk yesterday. I couldnt wipe the smile off my face the whole week cause i was so excited to talk to you guys. Nothing compares! You guys are the best support system. I want to thank you guys for all the advice and especially just the "do your best and leave the rest to the Lord" part. It really is helping me cause sometimes i dont agree with how people here (especially leaders) think about the mission.  I couldnt do this all without you guys!

Love,
Elder G

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 ...
