What's up Elder G!

Hello my boy.  How was your week?  Do you attend leadership meetings still?  When is your next one?

I'm still in sunny california.  I've had a very busy week but super fun too.  I got to CA on Tuesday and we've been in wedding mode ever since.  It was nice today to have a slow day where we could just hang out.  I love Kellie and Laurie's whole family.  Of course Don and his potty mouth were here. LOL.  He's a nut.  We have people sleeping in beds, on couches, on the floor.  everywhere!  But it has been so fun.  Today we got to relax and watch Shawn's new movie that he is trying to get released.  It is showing at some film festivals now so that is so exciting. It was so great! You'll have to see it when you get home.  

The wedding was Friday night and they were married at the LA temple that morning.  The reception was that night at a country club with a beautiful view of the city.  The country club was actually kinda old but the view was incredible.  I sent a couple of pics for you.  They had a life sized cut out of Ryan (Elder Austin) and so we had him on the dance floor and he was in all of the pics too:)

Abby and I went to Santa Monica on Saturday.  It was gorgeous weather but sooooo crowded.  We got to walk a little on the beach and take in the beautiful California weather and views.  I always feel at home here.  I always feel happy here.  There were plenty of crazies on the beach as well.  There were these black guys dancing and stuff and passing around a bucket so people could drop in a few dollars.  They were being all nice and talking  about how we are all "one race... the human race."  They were nice until they weren't getting enough money in the bucket and then they started walking up to people and saying, "you look like a rich white guy, open your freaking wallet!"  Sooo..... we left.  Crazy freaking people.

I dropped Abby off this morning and she is now back in Rexburg but will be home in less than a month.  

I love you so much sweet boy.  Tell me all about your week! I can't wait to hear.  I hope you had a great one.  I love you so much and pray for you constantly.

infinity plus infinity

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 ...
