Thank you for the sweet words mom. Im so happy to have made this decision in my life. I owe so many things to this decision. Im so grateful for the chance to be able to have sacrificed a little for the Lord. He did so much for me and blessed me with so much. I really felt like ive treated this experience more as a privilege than a sacrifice. It really has been a privilege to serve the Lord and do a little bit of work for Him. I love that He gave me a chance to do this.

I couldnt have done it without you along the way momma. Im so grateful for you. I couldnt have asked for a better stabled mom to help me along the way. You are such a spiritual rock for me and Im so grateful that you have been able to show me and teach me so many things. Youve been there for me in the highs and the lows. I cant wait to give you a big hug in 7 days! I cant wait to tell stories and be back together with all our family! Im soooo excited! Love you momma!

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 ...
