It really has been so good. Like I said I really think the announcement was made at the perfect time in my mission. I think just as im heading home in these last 6 months will be perfect for me. 

I love that idea of running a business with sam as well. I think we should hit it even harder on these 4 wheelers as well cause it seems like ther is a ton of money in that. But yeah that would be super cool. 

Really? I think that is cool. I thikn you would be a good LPN. Just do something that you would enjoy doing! I think it would be great for yalls financial situation as well. 

Its been pretty hard these few weeks learning everyhting. But im getting more of a hang of it now. My phone literally does ring NON STOP it actually sucks. Its definitely annoying when we are out working, or its pday, or its the weekend. Cause i wont be able to do ANYTHING For them but they still call its annoying. 

IN the area, it definitely has started kinda slow. But now that me and my comp are a little more comfortable in the office, we will also be able to perform better in the field. We are planning to hit it hard these next few days in a new area we wanna work in way closer to the church. I really am liking my new comp. He is a stud and a funny guy. Just a super likeable guy overall. Everyone on the mish loves him. We are teaching 2 good couples right now. One needs to get married, but has already been to church once. The other hasnt been to church yet, but seems like really good people and they are a referal from a member so that will help a lot in the long run. But other than that we are looking to build our teaching group here in this next week. The area is a little tough. Its super rich, but we are looking for a few more humble areas and looking to do lots of contacts in the street instead of knocking doors. Stake conference was awesomeeeee!! I saw lots of old people and it was great. The talks were incredible and i felt a spirit sooo strong. Overall, I have 7(!!!!) Recent converts from the Parada Pinto Ward that are still firm! INcluding the couple ALessandra and Lucianno. Ill talk a little more about it in my big email tho. 

Ok cool. Does the apartment have a washer and dryer?? and does it have a good size kitcher/2 fridges for 6 guys? i hope so. Im excited to meet Laurettes friend too. But it will be a blast rooming with isaac in KinG Henry. Can you research a little of how i can get to campus and if there is a shuttle and how often it passes? also i need to know what date we will have to lock in my classes for the fall semester. Can you figure that out?

BRUHHHH. im trying to do something dope soon after i get home and hit up some dope beaches. But i guess if its gotta be after christmas thats fine too. Are we gonna be home for Christmas this year? Would it give us enough time to travel? I think if we were to go that route i would rather drive another hour and get to florida cause i saw with Ben Fein that the beaches were a good amount better there. But honestly, id be totally fine with just doing like a texas roadtrip when i get home and then go through colorado on the way to utah and save some money to spend more in thailand and have a sweeter vacay there. 

yeah thats fine about pam and raf. Just try to write it this week and have dad put his input too. Also send pics of you guys at the temple and of our family at the temple. Ok im excited to hear from Norm! Thanks momma!

Ill have to look at these scriptures in a little but i love the one about joseph smith in jail and i think thats one of them on the list. Thats one of my favorite scriptures. And i love how the scriptures give us so much comfort as we face trials in this life. Especially in the BoM. Thats such a good resource for us that other people dont have. 

Love you momma!

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!

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 ...
