ok so actually she hasnt been baptized, but it seems like we are gonna baptize her tonight! hahah its a long and complicated story and she has been very difficult. But it seems like its gonna work out tonight. Dr. Rey is here and she seems to be down for tonight. So im excited for that and it will definitely be a funny, interesting night with Dr. Rey. lol he is sooooo strange. But Thiffane is really good. She will certainly stay firm in the church she just is a little crazy someitmes. But i believe after the baptism, she will be a lot better and more calm. She just doubts a lot whether now is the right time, but when she thinks too much she just gets more confused. So im hoping it will all be able to work out tonight. But she has lots of friends at church, so im excited for how she will be able to continue afterwards.  

I will talk with the secretary to see if i can put my number on the flights, but i believe we arent allowed to.

I cant believe you guys are actually getting things ready for me to come home. AH thats so weird. and my baseball cards will make us all rich one day so dont complain!!!! Im so proud of you and abby. Sounds like you guys are really dedicated and consistent in your working out. i bet you are looking hot too momma!

My trainee is alright. lol. Hes a really good kid dont get me wrong, but he can be a little annoying as well. So im just happy ive only got a couple weeks left. And it doesnt really free me up cause we are in a trio and i couldnt leave to work alone. 

I love your thought. I know the Lord doesnt need me as a fisherman anymore. He needs me to be something else. Im sure these thoughts will fill my head in these next weeks as i think about how i need to continue showing the Lord how this mission has changed me. Im excited to continue this dedication for the Lord at home. I feel like ill have a much better perspective on it all. For the past two years of my life i have dedicated 100% of my time to Him. And when I go home, I know that it will be possible to lay aside a few minutes to be able to study, pray, and continue being His disciple. 

I love you mom! Thank you for your support. I cant believe I get to put my arms around you in a month. It will be such a sweet moment. I miss you guys and am so excited to see yall.

WIth all my love,
Elder G

its ok mom. just sad and confused. but i know the lord has a plan. just dont understand why it had to happen this way.  she is dating someone i think. he kinda looks like me lol except he has huge ears. your right. its just time to turn a corner. no matter how hard that is. im gonna write her a letter today just telling her how i feel and be done with it. im being transferred. 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 ...
