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

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 ...
