hey momma! so sheduling the marriage was a success!!!!!! We went tuesday morning and we literally got there and they turned us down so fast cause Rafaels birth certificate was a xerox and not real. So we went home dissapointed and they were like fighting and stuff about where to look for it. But I just said a super sincere prayer in my heart on the way home that we could find it. Pamela already said she had looked everywhere (and there house is literally so small) but we decided to look again. After about 30 minutes of searching we found it! It was incredible. But our ride had already left so we ran to buy bus passes and ran back cause they were closing soon. we made it in time and the best part is they had a date for this transfer! They will be married on June 6th and June 9th will be their baptism! Im already way too familiar with how the Devil will start to work on them so im making sure to visit them often and keep them strong. Pamela already had a really tough day on Saturday, but it was awesome cause this week she literally dreamed about her baptism!

also we found an elite and a miracle! It was actually a reference from the church website (my first one in this area finally) and he is amazingggg. He prayed to God a couple weeks ago looking for a higher purpose in his life and something that could help him. A few days after he decided to type in "gospel movie" on youtube and ended up watching the restoration movie! holy moly...it was so crazy. he said he felt the spirit super strong and decided to ask for a book of mormon. Then we got the reference and we went to his house and already have a baptismal date marked with him for this sunday! What a freaking miracle. such a cool story. His name is Felipe and he is a stud. I really felt like it was a miracle given to us because of our hard work and diligence here in Simus. 

That is crazy. I didnt even realize it was happening this week. Holy moly i cant believe she is graduating. That is such a fun week that is planned tho so im sure it will be super fun. Im excited to see the end result on the house! Even if you dont get it on the market this week it has still gotten done super fast!

I love that chapter on charity as well. i never thought about it like that. that it was a lonely time for him but this is what he chose to talk about. I think if we have charity we are doing so much good. its a characteristic that is everything in a person. I try to have more and more every day here. 

love you mom!!

also add to the list on my next package 5 1 dollar bills. I want to have a few to give to companions and stuff

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 ...
