I heard about that kid as well. Thats really sad, i didnt know he was from Ft Worth. I am being safe! We have carbon monoxide detectors in our house. 

Awh im so happy for isaac. hes such a stud. And ive been thinking about it, im kinda hoping he moves on from savannah. Hes way too good for her. WHATTTTT THEY ARE GOING TO HAWAIIIIIII. UGH im so jealous. When are they going? I didnt know about this girl. That sounds interesting. I think Nathan could make it happen very fast. 

The FHE was super great. President and Sister liked it a lot and they were bragging on us several times. They said they were really happy that we had found this couple and that we are "powerful missionaries". It was pretty sick. I think Paula and Cristiano really liked it as well. So it was kinda funny, Paula is already firm on baptism but President did this amazing baptismal invite and I was blown away. But Cristiano still said that he would think about it a little more. But then we get to lunch today after the wedding and Paula told us that he had already started telling people that he was gonna be baptized as well on saturday!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO! President and Sister Ribeiro are gonna be sooooo proud. 

I really do love D&C so much. It puts you in a great perspective. Do my responsibilities and duties in the church even compare to the sacrifice these people made? Without these people making those sacrifices we probably wouldnt even be here right now, so i am super grateful for the early members of the church and for Joseph Smith. I have a really really strong testimony of him that I'm really proud of. 

That is awesome about you and abby! dont get discouraged if you dont see results. for a 20 year old girl the results will come a lot faster. So just continue what you are doing. Im telling you, consistency is EVERYTHING when it comes to working out. Im way proud of you guys and everyone is gonna be looking SEXY when i get home babyyyyyyyy. 

I loved your spiritual thought. I think I have felt this a lot in my life when I have needed to repent. I truly came to know the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ and that its not necesarily a sad thing, but a happy thing because you are moving on and becoming something new. I have felt that way several times. The Lord outpours his spirit of happiness on us and we feel forgiven of those things and dont feel like the Lord really has anything against us. I think this feeling is probably like the feeling the Prodigals son felt when he came back. Im grateful that I have access to the Lord and his open arms whenever I need them. 

I love you momma! I hope you are doing great! I miss you and love you so much! Im so grateful for you!

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 ...
