yooo momma its true you had a heck of a fun and awesome week! im jealous!

Im telling you Colorado is such a beautiful beatiful state! And i like the drive from byu to rexburg too. I think i like any drive in the middle of nowhere honestly. and abbys dorm is super dope and nice looking! I like it a lot

Oh my goodness. Tell abby to not download those freaking apps. You dont even need them at byu its already way social. I think its good that she wont date until jackson leaves too. It will definitely help her establish study time at night. When I was mackin with sally almost every night, my study hours took a dip lololololol btw mike eckel emailed me and said "cant wait to see you!" hahah hmmm hes definitely on my side. 

Thats interesting about abbys major. Seems like a cool thing but i think its important that you dad and abby look on the internet if there is really jobs coming out of that major. Lots of girls make that mistake to major in something and then there ends up not having a ton of jobs. Best case situation she doesnt have to work, but definitely in her 20s she will have to do something that isnt just a "anyone can do it job". But hopefully she takes it on and can look into where she could be hired. 

WHAT?! LETS GO BYU BABY IM PUMPED! if they would have beat cali last week they would be in the top 15 in the country i think. But that is awesome! and Yeah you should definitely go out to a game with monica!

What a fun rest of the weekend! and im soooo glad you were able to tell your college stories to someone since im not there to hear them!😋 Sam seems to be killing it with the atvs. so sweet! You really are one of my favorites to spend time with! Im glad we all have that special bond! I feel pretty lucky to have this family too and feel lots of blessings in my life in this moment!

So im with Elder Rodrigues now! Hes honestly a really cool guy. Hes super shy but we get along well and i definitely see a friendship forming. Hes also a good worker and experienced missionary with 1 year and 6 months on the mish. I think he will go home at the same time as parker. But anyway it was a good first week and much better than with Hequer. We have a pretty firm couple Alessandra and Lucianno. They are the couple from Bahia where parker is serving. They said some amazing things this week and both beared their testimony to us on why they knew the church was true. Hopefully we go to the place to mark the wedding this week. I would be SOOO HAPPPY if i got to baptize another family/couple on the mission. Its a rare thing so there is nothing that makes me more happy than this. They both went to church this week and Alessandra talked about how she learned about the priesthood and it was actually amazing. She said also that the way me and Rodrigues carry ourselves was a proof to her that what we say is true. She said she could feel all that through us when we teach which was a huge compliment. Lucianno said he was praying to send someone to his house to help him return to the right path and we showed up while he was working one day and did a contact with him. They are awesome and im super pumped to work with them going forward. So overall a good week!

love you momma!
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 ...
