How is my amazing son?! So I'm sitting here with Noelle talking about Cali Columbia and missions! Its so exciting.  Noelle is freaking out because its at a "threat level 2" for tourist warnings.  One of his best friends got called to Bennin Africa and it's only a threat level 1. LOL I wonder what Sao Paulo is... I"m gonna look it up. ... It's a threat level 2. Yikes

How do you feel about the safety of where you live now compared to other areas you served in?  

Did President ever mention the beach trip again? 

How did transfers go this week?

Please check those two small charges I sent you and make sure those are correct.  I want to make sure your debit card hasn't been compromised.

Are you and your comp still doing great?  How did your investigators do this week?  I'm hoping they are progressing!

Im in scramble mode again!  I'm back in Utah.  Can't believe I'm herre again so quickly.  But I'm so glad I can help Sam.  He is pretty immobile so he's not super happy about that right now. Its hard because he has finals next week.  So trying to study while on pain meds is tough.  I think his accident was worse than I originally thought.  He had a blown labrum (hip ligament) which is causing a lot of pain still.  When I got here yesterday, he was out of the hospital from the night before and had not gotten out of bed.  So I"m soooo glad I'm here.  I'll be here until Tuesday evening and then Friday he'll be coming home to texas for a few weeks.

Now for the good news!  We got an offer on our flip house!!! A full price offer.  Honestly, it is a huge gift from our loving heavenly father!  I know that he just knew we had been under so much stress these past few weeks with Dani and now Sam... so I feel like he just blessed us with this.  We aren't out of the woods yet.  They are having an inspection and can cancel the contract at any time the first 10 days.  But it is amazing!  Please say some extra prayers that all will go as planned.  We might even make a tiny bit of money on it.  When all is said and done, I will have probably made $.06 /hour.  LOL.

I'm sorry my letters these past couple weeks are so lame.  I'm physically and emotiionally exhaused..  The suicide, funeral and now Sam's accident is a lot.  I think I'm actually getting sick but trying to fight it off.  

I pray for you every morning and night Gray.  That never stops.  I'm so incredibly proud of you and the work youre doing and the sacrifice you are making.  You are the bright spot in my world right now and I love you infinity plus infinity and even more than that!

I can't wait to talk to you.  If we video chat, Noelle and Sam will be with me.

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 ...
