Hello my fave elder!!!!

How is my boy?  I hope this week was a great one.  I can't wait to hear all about it!

Our week was uneventful.  I did some canning with Betsy Winters. We made about 30 cans of spaghetti sauce that will last us a while:)  Karlee and her husband have moved in with the Winters while he works and saves up for a year.  He wants to put down about 25% on their first house so they are saving, saving right now.  She is about to deliver her baby on the 6th!  They are having a boy.  We also had dinner with the Hines Saturday night. They are so fun.  Did I ever tell you that their son is serving in NYC?  He's been out a few months now.

We're getting ready to put the flip house back on the market.  So I'm getting the house ready for that.  I'm hoping the timing will be better this year and it will sell quickly!!!  Say a little prayer:)  We are doing a few things to spruce it up a little more.  Again, hopefully that will help it sell quickly.  At this point we won't make a profit, but it will be good to get our money back and then maybe try again.  Maybe on a smaller scale this time.

We are having a missionary mom lunch on friday at the Schofields house.  It's all the prosper and celina moms with kids out on missions.  It will be a great get together. Thank you for doing your part to put me in such a special club of moms.  I'm so proud of you, my boy! 

So we will be getting a new roommate this week.  A friend of Sam's is going to be living with us for about 1 month.  I don't know much about her but she has a new job in Plano and needs to find an apartment so she needs a place to stay for a while.  I hope she isn't a psycho:)  I'm gonna be cleaning out Abby's closet and bathroom this week to make a comfortable place for her to stay.  I really hope this goes well and she doesn't turn 1 month into 3.  I told Sam to tell her that Abby will be coming home soon so it can only be 1 month.  I've got Betsy Winters trying to find her a roommate in the singles ward already... so I'm on it!

I read something this week that I want to share with you.  It was meaningful to me and I hope it means something to you too.  "Be still and know that I am God." It is one of my favorite phrases.  This week I learned that the original Hebrew root of Be Still doesn't mean "be quiet"; it means "let go."  That's very different, don't you think?  Let go and know that I am God! Let go of trying to control your companion, your spouse, your friends. Let go of worry about your finances, our flip house, the sally situation, etc.  Let go of your unforgiveness.  Let go of your past.  Let go of what you can't control - and rest in the knowledge that God is in control.  It brings me so much peace.  I hope it helps you too.  

I love you my amazing son!  More than the sun and the moon and the stars..  infinity plus infinity and more than that.  I hope this week will be full of adventure, teaching, the spirit and success.  Take me with  you!  I miss you sweet boy!

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 ...
