yo yo momma.

his president seems like a cool guy and im glad he got to brag on sam a little. hope he felt good about that. 

awh the high dive is freaking awesome i miss that place and cliff jumping!! oh my goodness i cant wait to cliff jump. i loved all the pics! everyone is soooo old holy moly! and the adcock girls are mamiiiiiis. id love to converse with them😉 hahah im dying that sam already made out with one without realizing he grew up with her. tell him that i call the one he didnt make out with. its always been my dream to marry two sisters with sam lol. im glad abby did the 20 footer thats pretty cool. and i got excited about dads back flip but you was lyin momma!!

i cant believe they made $70 mil that is insane. but they seem like a cool fam! i thought i would be more sad to not be with you guys but im all good honestly. im super happy here. obviously i would love to be with you guys and vacation with yall but im good here too! i did 10 months this week!

im praying for sam! im hoping he gets in that would be so sick! ok mom...do you believe this?! ughhh so i sent an email to mike eckel just to keep in touch with him and make fun of him about argentina. he said that sally applied and got EARLY acceptance into the finance program! so shes already in....ugh momma why she gotta be so freaking smart and beautiful?? i was honestly feeling super fine about her these past few weeks. ive realized that even talking to her dad is just a reminder for me. it sucks. i think more than anything its just a little intimidating to see her get into the business program and start with her life. but whatever itll be back to normal here in a bit. 

i also am praying about the house. that sucks how people are so picky with it all. i hope it will all work out soon. ive been praying continually for the house. 

well our week was good. we worked super hard. we have found a lot lot of potencial with lots of investigators here. we have marked a tonnnn of baptismal dates. praying to see at least a few of them work out. its the final 3 weeks of the transfer and thats when the pressure really hits cause your time is short. but we brought some cool people to church this week. we brought rafaels brother which was super cool. we have been trying to work with him slowly. we brought a couple carol and joão who seemed to like it. we will watch a church movie with them tonight and talk to them about what they thought. also we brought this 77 year old woman who is the sweetest thing ever. she is so nice and turns out she knows a lady in our ward who invited her years ago. she loved church. she is super brave cause her husband isnt wanting to go, but we will try to work with him this week and explain about eternal families. i think it will be the thing to soften his heart. we also have a ton of potential to bring to church this week including a family of 4 whos son has already been to church a few times. we only taught them one time but we marked baptismal dates and they said they would be at church this week. so we will see how it all works out this week. hoping to see a couple miracles. 

so did you send the package this week?

love you momma! you da best

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 ...
