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

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 ...
