Another week flys by when your having fun serving the lord.  Next Tuesday I leave for el campo and im so ready to start teaching the people of Guatemala.  The lessons have been getting better and better each day. The language is getting better and better each day.  I feel confident in myself and I know that through the lord and by putting him first in all things I can all things through Christ.  I thought i knew the gospel back at home but nothing compares to the knowledge I have now.  Having the temple so close by is such a blessing in my life.  Ive been every week since ive been here and i can feel my relationship growing with my Heavenly Father.  This last week we fasted for 24 hours and it was awesome because i didnt get hungry all day which is such a blessing.  But at the end of the day when we broke our fasts I just knew that everything will be ok.  I know if we put the lord first and have faith in him we will be ok.  Through his gospel we can be saved and receive all these blessings if we trust in the lord.  I cant wait to teach people about Jesus Christ and the wonderful plan of eternal life.  As you all go through out your day remember to always have a prayer in your heart and be the best people you can be.  Remember to always give your best because he gave his for you.  Mom send this to people on my insta list please and to all the fams in the ward ok i love. People i need pics from families so i can see you all ok por favor gracias.  I love you all and im blessed for all of your sweet examples that have a had a huge in pact in my life.  love yous guys, next time you email me i will be in el campo so lets do this thanggg haha.


I love you guys so much and cant wait to send you guys pics.  I leave for el campo next Tuesday and couldnt be more excited to get to the real work.  Ik that its going to be an awesome experience in el campo with my new companion.  Everyday i pray for you guys and i love you so much.  I showed everybody in my district the photo album you gave me and they were like oh my gosh your family is so cute and lit lolol.  How was your birthday present from dad? Thast awesome you went and tried out for it, i hope you get it that would be awesome.  You need to send me videos and pics of you guys especially since brett is playing flag football now.  Tell brett happy birthday and im glad hes making the right choice of being baptized, hes an awesome kid.  How r the kids doing? I think about you guys everyday and love you guys so much.

Elder Gray

I cant believe how much you all have changed its going to be so weird seeing you guys again but Im taking the last year to the max and working even harder for the people.  My Love has grown for these people here in Guatemala.  When I hit my year in the mission I actually felt pretty sad because these people are so special, I love them so much and want the best for them just as our father in heaven does.  I know that this last year will be sooo awesome!!! Im so pumped especially for this next 3 months because IM A TRAINER!!!!  My new comp and my son in the mission is  named Elder McConaghie.  He is from Arizona and my first gringo companion in the mission haha.  So yeah I know we will do great things together.  God has trusted me to train and help my companion to be the best that he can be, and be a better missionary that I will ever be.  Im super excited and Love this work, this is the work of our father in heaven and I truly believe in the power of the priesthood and that it

YEAH MAN !!!!!! I heard that over 100 people have died from this eruption and over a thousand have been affected by the eruption.  But its super cool because the communities are gathering needs for the people that were affected by the volcano.  Its super cool to see how the people work together to help others in need even in the midst of their own problems taht they have in their lives,  these people dont have a lot to give but its the LOVE that they have to help others, them knowing that they dont have much.  This has just been a huge reminder of our job as missionaries to give all of our love to these people even though we leave our families and so many things back at home the most important thing we can give is our love to others, that is what this world needs a lot more of.  But yeah its crazy in that part of Guatemala.  So many people this week have a funerals in the streets of people that have died in this accident.  One family that lives just down the road all died in this accid
