yo momma! im doing pretty well! So we have some elects really that we are working with right now. 
1. Sara is the sister of two other girls that were already baptized like a year ago. She has been a miracle!! Two weeks ago her sister told us that she said she didnt wanna be baptized in our church. But these past two weeks we have seen her progress like crazy! She is loving church on sundays and is super super firm. We visited her again today and she is set on getting baptized this sunday! its gonna be super special.
2. Alfredo is progressing a ton as well. He chose to go to church with us this week even tho he usually goes to another church with his mom on the last week of the month. He is way good buds with the young men in our ward. it is awesome to see them all together. We will go there tomorrow to try to firm us his baptism for sunday as well. Hoping for the best!!
3. Cristina is another miracle from our english class who showed up alone to church. We set a baptismal date with her for this sunday as well. She moved an appointment she had to saturday so she could go to church on sunday! She is awesome an dwe will try to work with her family as well!
4. Lastly Bruno didnt work out this week sadly. He kinda flaked on sunday. But he has already called us a ton of times and i think he is kinda iffy. But we were just super super straight with him and we will see tomorrow with him as well. Seems like we will be able to work something out.

SO MAYBE 4 BAPTISMS THIS WEEK!! WOOOHOOOO It will be going out with a bang if i were transferred next week. But i think i honestly wanna stay, even with a tougher companion. 

i still have the dots. i have no idea what they are. i think maybe an allergy to deodorant or something. But i talked with sister ribeiro and she said if they stay she will help to mark an appointment. But she just said to look for the source in a few things. im not too worried about them tho. 

sounds like you guys had a good thanksgiving. im happy abby was well taken care of even if greggs family was there lol. But yeah that sounds tough with chelsey. Its tough that she cant even take her meds! 

ok yeah im kinda bummed now about this whole vacation thing when i get home!! im sad parkers family has already marked it off. so idk i wanted to go to a beach so bad before heading to school. It would have been a freaking blast with the four families. And for thanksgiving and christmas everything just gets way more expensive so idk if itll even work out then. 

1 month my nigs!!! its gonna be awesome!
Thats sad about the house mom. im sorry. 
i was reading in my scriptures this week and found a scripture i think could help you its 3 nephi 6 13
13 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceedingly humble; some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions, and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God.  
I know it seems like sometimes we are hit with one thing after another. But i know always being humble and submitting to Gods will will do nothing but good for us. I know it will all work out in the end momma!

Major changes in the mission!!!!! We are getting smartphones soon!! first mission in ALL of south america! We are running the test drive. Its gonna be wayyy limited to start off what we can do but we will see where it ends up in a few months. I dont thikn ill see too much of it during my mission.
Also im not gonna lie to you, but our internet time was cut to 1 HOUR this week on pdays. Its a thing all of the missions are doing together in brazil. Its super sad honestly. Im gonna have to strive more to be better at this but i know its something im just not good at. Ive learned to be so so obedient here on the mission but this is always one thing ive struggled with. But ill try to be a little faster.

Love you momma!
Elder G

its ok mom. just sad and confused. but i know the lord has a plan. just dont understand why it had to happen this way.  she is dating someone i think. he kinda looks like me lol except he has huge ears. your right. its just time to turn a corner. no matter how hard that is. im gonna write her a letter today just telling her how i feel and be done with it. im being transferred. 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 ...
