7 DAYS, 11 HOURS, & 30 MINUTES. . . .

Until Steve comes home!!! It is so hard to believe that Steve is going to be home in a week! It seems like I was just sending him off. The 2 years went so quick. But so much has happend. It is so weird to think about life 2 years ago. We were still in our house. The recession/ housing crisis had not hit yet, Obama was not the Pres. Alot of people still had their jobs. And our extended family has had a lot of changes. I hope Steve is not to frieked out when he gets home.





So anyway, he has had an amazing mission, we have had the honor of benifiting from his letters, having his example for our kids and supporting him in the Lords work! He has been A.P. for the past 5 or 6 months. I know he has learned and grown so much.

So Since a lot of our family is not going to be here on the 22nd when he gets home. I thought it would be cool to invite anyone who wants to come. If you do call me and I will give you the details!!! :)

Here is his last letter if you want to read it.

whats crackin peeps! so I dont realy know what to write to you guys, we are preparing for the next transfer right now. Next week we have our transfer planning sessions. We have three sessions that are about 8 hours each. Its a prety cool experience but super tiring. this will be my sixth and last plannig of the transfer. Im not gonna lie im am so so so stoked to come home and see you guys! Im trying to stay focused but everyone talks about going home everyday and all the members are inviting me over to eat before I go. (looks like all that weight i lost is getting put back on haha) The members here are great. I wish you guys could be here to meet them. Speaking of that the united states and brazil are having problems with visas right now. some parents that wrere coming down here to pic up their kids aren´t coming anymore because the can´t get a visa.

Conference was awesome. Most of all I liked the priesthood session. I was feeling kinda weird when M. russell Ballard was talkin gabout the father son relationship(because i dont know my dad and all that) but then i stared thinkning about corey and i became overwhelmed with a feeling of love and comfort knowing that even though I never knew my dad the lord had compassion on me and Sent you and corey into my life. How greatful I am for him. I would not change him in for knowing my father for enything. I love you Corey. I also liked elder Uchtdorf and elder Eyerings talks, and of course Elder Hollands was amazing.

Well... as for my area and investigators. Right now almost everyone that we are working with needs to get married. So we are waiting for documents to get here and go to the courthouse and mark the wedding date and then wait another 30 days for the marriage to be leglalized. There is this girl named Dulcinea that has potential to get baptized this weekend or next so we´ll see what happens.

is everyone coming out from Utah? well I love you guys tons and cant wait to see ya! till next week. Steve
