yo yo momma G! Well yes, ive gotten in a little bit better of a groove here. Its a good area, im just getting used to it all and memorizing the streets and the important places. With my comp its been alright. being honest, i just dont like too much the way he does things. But it honestly hasnt been a problem. I was upset one night this week, but we always talk it out. sometimes i think he is just a little controlling and selfish. he teaches in a way that is sometimes forceful or a little too strong for people to handle. But im working with him and its working out right. It seems for right now we have 2 baptismal dates set that are pretty firm. Amanda, this girl from our english class seems to be firm for sunday! She is an awesome girl. Said that ever since we came to her house for the first time, she has felt the impact of the spirit in her life. She really liked church on sunday! Also we have a friend of a member who is firm as well for September 1st! This is honestly awesome for me, but as you probably know the expectations of zone leaders are much higher than this. So we will work to find some more people during this week. Im sure this week and every week me and elder Hequer will get better with each other. He is honestly a cool, good guy other than like 10% of the time. we get along super well besides that. and he is down to work really hard which i like. but for sure a good week and im hoping we can baptize in this next one!!!

So we had a good zone meeting! we gave a good training i think and got everyone in the zone involved in practices and stuff it was sweet. also i had an interview with president which was cool. it seems to have a lot more importance at hand when we are talking about a whole zone. it was awesome. like at the beginning of all the interviews of our zone he asked to talk with me and hequer. we talked about the zone a little and then all got on our knees and President said a prayer. it was super powerful coming from a very spiritual man. It just makes me so proud to be here helping these people who desperately need the message of the gospel. 

So i got my package!!! thank you so much momma! it is so great to get stuff from you guys. And umm...the dr pepper jelly beans and sour patch are already all gone. lol. I only had one problem with the package. THE PICTURE ON ABBYS GRADUATION CARD that is right in the front and shes in a tight dress popping her butt out!! WHAT IS THAT?!?! haha but anyways thanks so much mom. 

Holy moly the house looks soooo good. It seriously looks like a house from HGTV. that is awesome mom im super proud of you and its good that you should be able to get most of your money back. Im hoping that will help the process out and help people visualize their lives in that house. Still praying for it all. Hope that it can get sold soon now.

Hahah that is awesome about abby! im so happy that she is having a good time. ugh she seems to be getting a little boy crazy momma. i think you guys will have to sit down with her and have a serious talk with her before she heads off to college. Freshman year is no year to get married!! she just needs to worry about having fun! and it is true mom you cook soooo good! i have moments during the week when i remember your food. Im lucky to have a momma like that! 

how did the showing go?

love you momma! excited to talk to you today! you are the best!
Elder G

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 ...
