Hi my love! 

So I have a few things I want you to think about before we talk Monday. 

1. First of all, it was not on my radar but fall housing contracts are now being signed. So I have to get on it this week! Do u have any ideas of who u want to live with and where? I asked sam about places young return Missionaries would like to live. He mentioned liberty square (which I think may already be sold out), King Henry, and he said his lanai ward is great but that is really hard to get into too. Isaac won’t know if he’s been accepted until later this month. 

2. I got in touch with Elder (Norm) Longhurst!!! We actually talked in the phone for 1 1/2 hours and had a great conversation! He’s so humble and kind. It was pretty special to have they oooortunity to thank him for his sacrifice and example to our family. I think it meant a lot to him. He asked me lots of questions about you and is so humbled you want to write him. He has a son serving in Atlanta that has been out almost exactly as long as you. Here is his email: quest1291@comcast.net. Don’t forget to copy me!!

3. Remember to write your letter to your 17 year old self. I know it will make an impact in my class and I think it will be a great exercise for you to do for yourself. 

I won’t expect you to write me too much on Monday because I’ve asked a lot of you and I know you’ll be writing extra this week. I sure love you Gray! You are constantly in my prayers and in and out of my thoughts all day. You’re a gift to me. A treasure! I love you.

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 ...
