Hi my boy!  So lots of questions for you.

First of all, did you talk about your return date with President Ribiero?  What did he say?

Second, did you write Sally? How do you feel about it?  

Well this week was focused on Nathan's homecoming and Aliza's farewell.  Nathan got home last tuesday and I still haven't talked to him!  We werent really invited to the airport.  I think they had so much family here that they just wanted to focus on that.  Which I totally understand.  And after he arrived, they were just going to like 3 baseball games and then getting him released. LOL  Like, welcome home... but we gotta lot to do.  Then his homecoming talk was on Sunday at 10:30 in Sherman which we went to and he did such a great job.  He sounds so grown up and much more self assured.  But we had to leave right after he spoke because Aliza's farewell was at noon back in Prosper  and it was a 40 minute drive.  So we waved to him on the stand but still haven't talked with him.  Aliza also had her open house on Sunday.  She did a great job too.  I'm so excited for her but Ill really miss her... and I know Abby will miss her soooo much! Especially this summer while she is home.  Once she is back at school she will be bettter.

So Abby and I have been working out!! We joined a place called Orange Theory which works you hard!  Plus we are trying to eat much healthier and it feels good.  Abby gets frustrated sometimes becasue she just wants to eat loaded french fries, but she is sticking with it and working hard.

Out flip house is now officially under contract and should close on May 31.  Please keep praying that all will go well and we can close this chapter.  I still feel nervous that something will fall through.  But all should go well.  

We went to dinner with the Hines last weekend and as always it was lots of fun.  They are such great friends and so fun.  They read your letters and just think you are a rock star.  They are so impressed with you, young man!  Their son is in the finance program and doing great.  He is interviewing with huge companies in NYC for an internship (Goldman Sachs, etc).  He said it is nerve wracking but exciting.  

I love you sweet boy.  SSoooo much.  We are going to the airport on Tuesday to greet Isaac.  The cordy's have sold their home.  But we all talked about being all together when you get home.  After Isaac... you are next!  I know you are working hard.  Stay focused on the work in Brazil .  You will be home before you know it, so leave it on the field there.

I love you infinity + 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 ...
