yo whaddup momma!! Thats sad about Grandpa Tom...do you really think he could pass away soon? or do you think its more of  a thing that he will just be limited for the rest of his life? hahahah omg thats sad what dad said about visiting his own parents lol. The pictures from that place look pretty and yours and dads shoes are rockin!! FLY MOMMA! Tell Dani I miss her and love her! Donut Falls is pretty cool and in a pretty place. I went when their was four feet of snow but it made for some cool pics. I think i posted one on my instagram my freshman year. Its a different style of waterfall than normal so thats cool. it was tough to find the actual waterfall when i went but with no snow i think it should be much easier and will have more people hiking to ask directions. Im excited to hear about dinner with sams mish pres! Ill tell president that you are gonna eat with my bros mish pres! 

Ive been praying lots for the house and even fasted for it and a couple other things on sunday! I know it will all work out right. 

Yeah ive been able to watch all the games! its been awesome honestly! Brazil looks goooooood momma! and Allison Becker really is a stud and a good looking guy(; and hes huge too. im already excited for the game on friday!

So no leadership meeting this transfer cause District leaders only go to them every once in a while. The other ones are just Zone leaders, APs, and Sister Training Leaders. Pamela and Rafael seemed really good and happy today. Pamela almost didnt go to church on sunday. For the first time i got mad with them on saturday night and literally poured my heart out to them and how bad i want them to stay firm in the gospel and how much potencial they have. It was an exhausting night cause i felt like i gave them all i had left in the tank. but it worked out and they were all at church on sunday and really liked it again! No update on that lady from lunch. sadly, the one who seemed to see the least interested is the one we will work with. she doesnt even live in our area but we will work with her cause if she were to go to church it would be with irma cátia. We have lunch with irma cátia again tomorrow so i will get an update! This week was good. We were able to find some other good possibilities with good potencial. we received a referral from a girl in the south of brazil that referred her aunt. her and her husband seem really good but they are travelling next sunday so they will only go to church the next sunday. also we found a really cool young couple on saturday night that was super interested. Her dad joiined in and they were just shooting questions at us like no other but i was able to handle it all! its really so cool and such great lessons when the adrenaline runs like that. it sucks cause everything always gets pushed to the end of the transfer but we will see how it all works out! i have confidence! hmmm...funny. one of our old investigators that didnt want anything else to do with us literally hid from us in the street and we caught her in the act lol. also we got set up with freaking jehovahs witnesses last night when another area gave us a reference. lol he literally just wanted us to visit him so he could try to burn us. he had looked at all the anti mormon sites and used stuff like the BoM says jesus was born in Jerusalem and not Belem. hahah good thing i had some answers up my sleeve😛 

ughh i will try to take a tag pic idk of what but ill try. also i think i already sent you guys pics of my apartment but if you cant find it i can send them again. 

thats a cool thought. it shows that repentance is a continual procress that never will stop as we strive to clear our water bottles of dirty sand with the gift of repentance. 

the fam looks hot in the pics! Dads still got a belly but you guys look good!

love you all! hope you are having fun and tell the sandersons i love them!

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! You are my hero! Sorry that it has to be all annoying like this. I will defini...

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 ...
