Hi my sweet son!!

How is my favorite Zone Leader??? 

I am in Utah! I arrived yesterday. I came out to go to Education Week which I love so much!  Seminary starts tomorrow so Im missing the first week but I'll be doing such great preparation this week.  I'm going to be studying about Joseph Smith a lot and the Doctrine and Covenants.  Last year I left education week to come home and get you ready to leave!  So crazy that you've been out almost 1 year now.  

Speaking of seminary, so I asked for a team teacher this year and the whole stake actually moved to having team teachers for every class now... however, the woman they called to be my partner has a concussion and won't be able to teach for a month or two at least!  UGH!  So thats kinda hard.  I feel bad for her because she pretty much doesn't leave the house. But I was really looking forward to cutting my work load in half.  But that won't happen for a while now.  I have a big class this year!  26 kids.  Holy Cow! Its gonna be interesting! 

We're having fun at the Sandersons.  Ama is with me too.  We had a great church meeting today with a missionary farewell.  He's gonna be serving in Guatemala city.  Holla!

Our ward is gonna split next week.  We're gonna end up in a different ward than the Opfars.  so sad about it!  So now Whitley place, Whispering farms, and greenspoint will all be part of the Prosper 2nd Ward.  So now all of what used to be the Prosper Ward just 6 years ago, will now be a total of 6 wards!  Can you believe it?! The new ward will be out where ama and poppop live.  The problem is we will now have 5 wards in our building.  So the rumors are we might go to a 2.5 hour block of meetings. Isn't that crazy!  We have land for  new building but the city is stalling because they don't want another mormon church in town.  UGH!  We need the new building so much!  

We had a little flood in your bathroom this week!  Its hard to explain but basically your sink area got soaked.  All of your drawers were full of water!  Some of the water came through the floor onto Sam's ceiling.  So the insurance company is coming tomorrow to give us an estimate to fix it.  We are thinking we will use this opportunity to move the bathroom to the hall closet like we talked about doing.  That will give you your own bathroom and Abby her own.  So maybe its actually a blessing in disguise.  We'll keep you updated.

Tell me all about your week sweet boy! I would love to hear more in your letters about the things you are learning besides all of the amazing things you are doing.  I want to hear both.  Tell me about your zone leader responsibilities and your investigators this week.  How are you eating?  Are you feeling healthy?  How are you and your companion doing together?

I love you infinity + infinity my son!  Can't wait to hear from you!!!

xoxo

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 ...
