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!
Elder G

I will go to Jardim Simos and be with an elder I dont know. I will be the senior companion which is really cool. Hes a brazilian, just finished his traning, and has about only 3 months on the mission. Im so glad and relieved. i was just ready to leave aguiar. he is just a difficult person sometimes.  love you mom.  yeah that sounds really difficult and probably something that would be really hard to do at the mission office haha. ok thank you for looking it up.  I love you so freaking much mom! You are my hero! Sorry that it has to be all annoying like this. I will defini...

Good morning my sweet boy! How was your week? I’m hoping there were some baptisms and the people followed through on their commitments:) Did you love conference? One of my favorite things about it was how I knew we were sitting there doing the exact same thing at the same time! That was comforting to me. I absolutely loved it! If you didn’t get a chance to watch the women’s broadcast you should try. I will send you an Ensign conference edition when it gets here so you can read all the talks again and study them. I feel like I received many personal messages from the talks. So many of them focused on our ability to stay faithful and receive comfort during trials... not one minute of our suffering is wasted. It is all for our good and our growth. That was one of the messages that I took away and feel strengthened by.  I also felt a recommitment to strengthening my conversion. That also seemed to be a theme of conference. Are we living the gospel by going through the motions and check...

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 ...
