IT was awesome momma!! They had a ton of family members there who were all able to get to know the church a little better. They truly seemed so happy the whole night. I was so happy for the decision they were able to make and they were able to stick firm to it for several weeks before it happened. We didnt have a wedding celebration cause Cristiano decided a little late haha but there were a lot of members there and they all brought food and drinks so we were able to chill for a little afterwards and have a good time. They are really firm and I see how they have so much potential. I will help them to build a strong base and soon be self sufficient in the church.

haha i died at the pics. I loved them. Dad killed it. I showed my mission buddies and they laughed so hard. They were like "youre dad is awesome!"

WOOHOOOOO CONGRATS MOM! I could tell you were pretty stressed out about this all so im glad that its over. 

Really? Thats awesome! I like the plan and I think it will be dope. Im fine with staying 5 minutes from the beach. Could we walk if we wanted to? that would be fun. I know we will have a car but still. Try to find a hotel with a hot tub. You know how i love hot tubs😛

Thanks momma. Ive had a little time to reflect about my mission recently and man am i so glad that ive been able to be here and have these experiences. I dont know where I would be right now if it hadnt clicked in me. Because really I had no intention on improving or being firm in the gospel. But something just hit me and i started feeling guilt for the things i had done. But I've truly experienced what the Atonement has the power to do. And I hope Ive been able to pass on that knowledge to others here on my mission. I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL for these 2 years. 

I love you momma!

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 ...
