Hi love!  I am so excited to hear about your week!  How was the wedding?  How were the baptisms?  I thought about you all day Wednesday and Saturday hoping it was a wonderful event for R&P and their family.  Tell me everything!

What else happened this week?  What are you doing for pday?  Did some of your other investigators come to the baptism on Saturday?  

We had a good week.  Riggs got shaved and he looks so tiny and cute!  He looks like Lyla's son.  She owns him!  lol.  They really don't do well when they are separated.  Lyla ran all over the house looking for Riggs and when she couldn't find him, she just laid down on the floor with her eyes open and didn't move until he got home.  Then the groomers did exactly what we told them not to do... shave his butt.  So now he is scooting around on his butt trying to scratch it on the carpet..UGH.  We went back and got a refund but I'm so mad at them!

The house is on the market!  We got it on the market friday and we had two showings saturday and an open house on sunday.  I'm a little disappointed in activity.  I was definately hoping for more showings.  And the agents that showed the house have not responded to my requests for feedback yet. I'm really interested in their feedback so I'll keep trying.  I'm really praying for a quick sale.  We leave for vacation on June 29 and I really hope we have it under contract by then!  

So for vacation, we are going to fly to denver and spend a couple of days with Grandma and Grandpa.  Then from there we will go to SLC and spend a few days there.  Then on July 5 first thing in the morning we will head to McCall.  I'm going to call the Adcocks and Lakes this week and see if we can meet them for lunch one day while we are there.  Do you remember both of them?  I'm hoping to have dinner with Sam's mission president and wife too.  I think it will be a fun week but I'll miss my  boy!  Cliff jumping won't be the same without you!  

The opfars went on a cruise this week. They took Tyler on the same cruise we went on with them (Belize and Honduras).  I think they had fun but missed being with us.  It's probably more fun with another family  We started talking about planning our vacation for next summer after you get home:)

We are getting ready to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday and Abby's birthday on Saturday.  She's going to be 18??!!!!  So crazy.  I think for a get together, we are going to rent a kareoke room for about 2 hours for her friends to hang out in and sing.  Should be fun.  I have been asked to speak on Father's Day about the blessings of the priesthood.  Any thing you want to share with me that I should include in my talk???

I have a couple of favorite quotes for you today... some that make me think of you.  

"I testify that bad days come to and end, that faith always triumphs, and that heavens promises are always kept." -Jeffrey R. Holland

"By helping others come unto Him, you will find that you have come unto Him yourself."  - Henry B. Eyring

I have loved watching your testimony and conversion to the gospel grow the more you have served others there in Brazil.  I love you my son and I'm so very proud of you!  Can't wait to talk with you!

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 ...
