This week in the MTC has been very spiritual for me and I have been really thinking about one thing and that is the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  I really feel like sometimes we take this life that he created for us for granted.  Or the people that are in our lives are just people.  As I thought about this I realized that he died for ALL OF US so that one day we can return and live with our heavenly father again.  He died so that we can see our families and friends and all of our loved ones again.  That is a blessing a huge blessing that we can't take for granted.  He suffered for all of us so that we can repent and and become more like him.  The language is slowly coming along.  I trust the lord will help me with the language if i do my part.  My teacher talked about that yesterday and its so true, if i want to receive the gift of tounges I have to put forth my own individual effort.   The Guatemala temple is awesome!!!  Alot smaller then the oakland but i can still feel the spirit just the same. We have to do a session sometime down here its so beautiful. 

What are you guys doing for moms 40th?  Get her something good and tell her its from both of us lol.  The food still is amazing oh my goodness. Bless the people of Guatemala.  I thought i was going to lose weight but i think I'm going to gain weight lol.  I'm enjoying every moment here and can't wait to get into the field and teach the people of Guatemala.  Love all of you guys so much!    KEEP ME POSTED ON THE BRONCOS...

Love,  
Elder Gray

Wow!!! 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
