Hi my love!!

Abby and i are sitting at the airport ready to take off for home. There are tons of Missionaries leaving here. We’re watching them say goodbye to their families and it’s heartbreaking to watch but it’s exciting to know in two weeks you will be with us! I think back to when we were saying goodbye to you and it seems so long ago. But in another way the time has gone quickly and I can’t believe in two weeks you’ll be home with us! 

We had a great week here! Spencer‘s talk was phenomenal and the whole meeting was really great. They do pretty big farewell celebrations here so Noelle had lunch for about 70 people at her house right after church. We worked really hard to pull that off and it was a lot of fun. Utah. 🙄

Super hot here. Hotter than It is in Texas right now. But they’ve had tons of rain so the mountains are beautiful and green. I spent lots of time helping Dani too. The girls are so adorable and Dani has been getting a lot of exposure since her video went viral. She recorded interviews for two podcasts this week and she’s actually starting her own podcast. She’s actually been on a few dates too. I think it’s too fast but whatever works right now. 

Did you get to hear Spencer’s talk that I sent you? 

Ok. Flight is taking off so I need to run. Tell me about this week. Have you had a chance to answer any of my questions from Last week?

I love you so much G! Here is my spiritual thought this week:

The resurrected Savior appeared to that small assembly of Saints. His first words were, “Peace be unto you.” The Savior then showed them His hands and His sides and “then were the disciples glad” (see John 20:20). What a needed spiritual feast that must have been, but Thomas missed it because “he was not with them when Jesus came” (see John 20:24).
The other disciples didn’t perform some herculean effort that “earned” them such a sweet experience with the Savior—they simply were consistently where they should have been. Maybe they were feeling just as scared and hurt as Thomas was, but they chose to still show up. And because they did, the Savior was able to speak the peace they needed. Later in that chapter, we learn that Thomas was present at the next gathering of the disciples, and that was when he able to interact with the Savior and receive His blessing of peace (see John 20:26). I like looking at the story from this angle because it teaches the comforting truth that whenever we are ready to come, the Savior is ready to receive

Tell me about Your week. How was church yesterday? I love you infinity plus infinity and even more than that.

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 ...
