well mom, first about the transfer. Im staying here! with jairo! It was a little bit of a surprise but im honestyl good with it. its not a super big deal to me and i could never go against the revelation that president recieves. 

well 2nd. so we went to pamela and rafaels house today to tell them about the transfer cause they wanted so bad that we would stay. we told them about it and they were super happy. after we went to play soccer with rafael and the other missionaries in our district. after we got home pamela told us she didnt plan on going to church anymore. Honestly i couldnt give you a reason that she said cause it sounded like BS that has nothing to do with the church. they are having problems in their marital relationship and that is what is truly causing all this. She has always been a little crazy but i think ive seen it all now mom. She said she isnt going to church anymore because of something that rafael said to her. I know its confusing and im honestly out of my mind confused to, but it just doesnt make sense. Rafael says he plans on staying firm and going to church every week with the kids. We have already called our bishop to meet with them either tonight or tomorrow. its just a big mess mom. something i had honestly written down on mothers day but forgot to say is just that you deal with a very ignorant people here. i know that sounds bad but its just the truth. These people dont have an education of an average 10th grader in the US. its sad and sometimes mom i swear its so hard to deal with. i hope she realizes that the reasons she said literally have nothinggggg to do with the church. idk mom im so confused and just depressed. i just wanna cry but i cant even cry. Ive taken my emotion out of it. Its what sally has done to me. sometimes you just take constaant gut punches and you learn to stop being emotional about things. I think it could very well be something that passes here in a week or two and everything goes back to normal but we will see. i know the world will help us with them. we are staying in the area because i think the ward is so happy with us that they talked with president at the stake conference in our area yesterday. they said how well we are doing and he decided to have us stay. cause what happened with our transfer is super super rare. 

ill just send this for now. Im all good, its just sad. After sally im really good at telling myself that its all part of gods plan but its just difficult to see this 1 freaking week after her baptism

love you mom. so much!

I will go to Jardim Simos and be with an elder I dont know. I will be the senior companion which is really cool. Hes a brazilian, just finished his traning, and has about only 3 months on the mission. Im so glad and relieved. i was just ready to leave aguiar. he is just a difficult person sometimes.  love you mom.  yeah that sounds really difficult and probably something that would be really hard to do at the mission office haha. ok thank you for looking it up.  I love you so freaking much mom!

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 ...
