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

Good morning my sweet boy! How was your week? I’m hoping there were some baptisms and the people followed through on their commitments:) Did you love conference? One of my favorite things about it was how I knew we were sitting there doing the exact same thing at the same time! That was comforting to me. I absolutely loved it! If you didn’t get a chance to watch the women’s broadcast you should try. I will send you an Ensign conference edition when it gets here so you can read all the talks again and study them. I feel like I received many personal messages from the talks. So many of them focused on our ability to stay faithful and receive comfort during trials... not one minute of our suffering is wasted. It is all for our good and our growth. That was one of the messages that I took away and feel strengthened by.  I also felt a recommitment to strengthening my conversion. That also seemed to be a theme of conference. Are we living the gospel by going through the motions and check...

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 ...
