Good morning sweet Elder G!!!

How was your week?  Do you guys have transfers on Tuesday?  Or is that next week? How are things with you and Elder Hequer?  How about your investigators?  I also want to know what you talked to your zone about to encourage them?  How did it go?

We had another crazy week.  I feel like this last month has been a blur.  Abby gone for so long, and then I went to Utah, and then Sam came here and then Jackson (abby's new bf) was hear and just left yesterday.  Now we are busy today getting ready for our road trip to Idaho.  We leave at 5am tomorrow morning!!!  So It is a crazy day and we haven't even started before today because Jackson was here.  

So Jackson... we had a lot of fun with him!  I like him a lot and he treats Abby so great!  He is very engaging and charming.  I think he fits great with our family and both you and Sam would really like him.  So, not sure how this will go, but if somehow it works out between them, I'd be happy about it.  He comes from a family that I grew up with in Roseville, so making all those connections was fun.  PopPop taught baseball lessons to his uncle, Kevin played baseball with a different uncle and Jackson's mom was Kevin's long term substitute teacher when he was in high school and he along with all the other boys had a huge crush on her.  LOL!

We all got together for an end of summer party and to send Abby off.  We all took a picture for you that is in your "pic" email.  We sure miss you!  But we had a fun celebration on Thursday and toasted to your "one year!!!"  Are you so excited?!  That is crazy!

Sam just paid you $120 for an ATV sale.  He had previously paid you $50.  So $170 is a nice profit in a short time.  Just wanted to give you a report on that.

I'm kinda running today since we have so much to do.  But I want you to know how much I love you my amazing son!  You make me so proud and it is so rewarding to watch you from the sidelines and see the man you have become!  I love you infinity + infinity and even more than that!

p.s. A couple of quotes from this week that I really liked.  xoxoxo



“…There are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were – better than what we were, more understanding than what we were, more empathetic that what we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before.”
                                                            - Thomas S. Monson-- 

“Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.”

                                             - Dallin H. Oaks

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 ...
