Hi momma!
I'm so glad that everyone is home right now. That must be so great for you and dad. I'm glad to hear that you guys had a good Easter and that Sam is recovering as well. That's awesome that Abby will already start working. She should just get tons of hours and make some serious bank this summer.

I can't belive the contract fell through. But it seems like the lord was helping yall out with a better buyer. I've been praying lots about this house so I hope it all works out as well. 

I think that's really interesting what you said about them sorrowing to sleep. I think that may be true. They didn't understand the whole time Jesus was saying his time was coming to an end until he really had to go to the garden and they had to know that it was then. Ive learned a lot about the apostles and its crazy how imperfect they were. It truly shows how we are all reliant on the lords forgiveness and also that the Lord's servants will always be simple normal every day people. I havent been following come follow me. I've been continuing my own studies. But I will do it at home. Right now I'm trying to focus on finishing the new testament and also Jesus the Christ. Then I'll start to read the new church history book saints. 

I'm so grateful to have a mom who has such a strong testimony of the atonement like you. I'm grateful that you know the importance of our choices here on earth and how we can prepare ourselves for life eternal. 

Awh send me the mission video! 

We'll honestly its really funny. I had started praying about this whole thing with Sally recently to know when I should send an email to her. I didn't even tell you last week but I think I told Abby. But I had pretty much decided that this week I wanted to ask Mike eckel if this would be a good time to talk to her. I prayed a lot about it last weekend and then literally a day afterwards his email comes to me. So I feel like I should write her this week. I'm not gonna talk about any of that stuff right now like the fact that's she's gonna have to show me a lot. But I'm just gonna be super simple and see how she feels at this point. I'll talk a little more with you on video. 

But anyway I love you so much mom! I hope you had a more relaxing week and you were able to catch up on some other stuff as well. I miss you guys so much! 

Love
Elder g

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 ...
