wowwww your trip looks like it was fun!! I MISS THE BEACH BROOOO. ahhh it looks so nice. but taylors husband is still ugly lol. 

haha thats funny that ryan was still remembered at the wedding. i miss the dance floor at weddings bruh i need to throw out my dance moves. 

thats funny about the people on the beach. It reminds me a little of brazil lol. Yesterday President said maybe on a pday he would take the staff to a beach here close by. I was like "what??" He was talking super serious, so idk maybe it will actually happen. BUt it would be sick. 

Thats so crazy how early abby comes home! shes gonna be bored this summer! she better get to work and make a ton of money! 

Our week was good! we found a really good new area to work. We have found some really good people there so far. There was one woman named paula who came to church this week. I think she really liked it and even talked already about coming back in the next week and that she would bring her husband. The sad part is that they arent married legally yet, but its ok cause we'll have some time in this area together. We also found another young guy whos 14 who seems really interested. He wasnt able to go to church this weekend, but he even called us on sunday afternoon telling us sorry and that he was interested in recieving our message. so this week we are gonna teach him and he should be at church this week. The work isnt going as fast as i would like, but its going still and i see that we are still finding really good people. Also the office is going well, president trusts in me a ton. like i can already see that he trusts in me more than the last secretary. Im resolving a lot of problems and its kinda cool actually. You know you are helping the mission in lots of ways. But im still super motivated, happy, and excited to continue working here. i know our success isnt what we want it to be right now, but i know when we continue to show our dedication to the Lords work, he will bless us. I see myself having lots of fruit from this area! We have met a lot of people who seem different to me and really interested. 
We also tried something really cool this week. We did a open house at our chapel with the other companship of sisters. We stood outside the church and literally invited EVERYONE to come in and take a tour of the church to see what its like. Cause everyone here has seen our church before, but mostly have never been inside. We recieved lots of no's haha but also we took a few people inside the chapel to teach a little as well and it went super well. We found some really great people. 
Also some dude from Alaska who served in Brazil like 20 years ago came to our ward this week and he was pretty cool and he gave me his contact if i ever wanted to go to alaska haha. He is a pilot of those small planes and he said he would show me offroading stuff too haha. So that would be sick. And i think his brother in law has an accounting firm in anchorage lol. 

But thats really it. It was a quieter week. Tomorrow we have a multizone conference with president and next tuesday we will be going to the temple and the new visitors center. Actually i went to the church headquarters this week for a training and it was pretty sweet i took a quick pic with the statue of jesus christ i will send it too you. and i met a dime brazilian who is serving in the visitors center haha. 

But anyways, love you so much mom! Thank you for all you do. Miss you!

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!

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 ...
