Hello sweet boy!  How did your week go?  I have been really praying that you would get into a groove here in your new area and with your new companion.  So.... how did it go?  Have you been able to teach a lot this week?  

How did the Zone conf go?  Was it for your zone or for all zone leaders?

I'm hoping you got your package.  I had the delivery service track your package and they said it should have arrived by August 3rd.  Please let me know.  I sent you another package through regular mail.  I'm hoping it will clear customs fairly quickly.  I'm seeing a lot of people complaining that more packages are being held in customs and taxed excessively.  So, I'm a little worried about this package.  It seems Brazil has ramped up their taxing on packages.

This week was a busy one.  I've been staging the flip house.  I looked at renting furniture (worked out to be $850 for just the living room), staging professionally ($4000 for the main roooms in the house and finally decided to do it myself.  Between purchasing used furniture, some new pieces and borrowing from our house, I have staged the main living and dining areas for about $1000.  The good thing is, I can reuse it if we do this again or I can resell it and make most of my money back.  I'm so smart:)  

Abby has been with Alyssa Sewell all week in California.  The funny thing is all of Alyssa's friends are kids of people I grew up with in Roseville!  No one has left there!  It is a great place to live actually.  They have been having so much fun on the lake that is only 3 minutes from Laurie's house.  She is crushing big time on a boy that is the son of a friend of mine.  He's actually an incredible kid.  Abby's same age and putting in his papers this month.  Anyway.... she is having so much fun!  But it is quiet around the house!!!!  And now I have to pick up all the dog poop!!!

Abby is realizing I'm a good cook.  I think she is starving out there.  She has such issues with food!  She says I "cook like a G".  I told her I cook so G, I'm almost H!  HAHAHA  Still one of the funniest things you've ever said. That, and "I know what an erection is... it is when Jesus came alive again."  LOL Do you remember that???


I have to run up to the investment house really quick because I have a showing in 1 hour.  Say a little prayer!!!  I won't include a spiritual thought today since I have to run, but know that I am with you ALWAYS!  You are an extraordinary son.  I love you more than you could possibly know and I can't wait to talk to you this afternoon!

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 ...
