Good morning my favorite missionary! 

First, before I forget, what picture do you want on your second year missionary journal? I’m getting a package ready to send next week so let me know if you need anything in particular. I’m going to send some dollar bills like you asked earlier. Although I’m pretty sure it’s illegal so I’ll have to hide them. I’m such a rebel;)

So now, tell me all about your week. I’m so interested to hear about Pamela. I’ve been praying for her this week. How about Gabriella and João? I’m hoping you have found a way to meet some new people too. Whatever your week has brought you, I hope you’re feeling some peace and joy that you’ve remained in Sardim. I know you are needed there.  

We had a low key week. We lowered the price of our investment house and we had a couple of showings but we still haven’t had a lot of interest. I think it’s just a slow time of year. Although I did list the Schmidt’s house and we had two offers the day that we listed it! I negotiated a contract for $5000 over asking price so that’s great!  It’s just in a different price range and it’s in also and prosper. But I feel very grateful that of the two houses I have one under contract because we’re getting ready to leave for Colorado on Friday. It’s always a little tough to be selling a house when I’m on vacation. But I’m hoping the tradition holds strong because every time I do go out of town I usually do sell a house. That means a lot of extra work while I’m trying to vacation but it would be a great thing to have this house under contract! We’re going to spend the weekend with grandpa Tom and grandma Gayle. Then Sunday we head to Utah. We’re going to have dinner with Sam‘s mission president which I’m really looking forward to. So next Monday I’ll be writing you from Utah❤️. 

Not a lot to report on this week. I’m just anxious to hear from you and hoping and praying that everything’s been going well. I sent you my spiritual thought in a separate email so take a look at that. 

 I miss you like crazy my sweet son! I love you infinity plus infinity and even more than that! I can’t wait to talk with you today. It’s my favorite thing each week! 

Love 
Mom

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 ...
