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 accident, Mother, Father, a pair of twins, their little girl and little boy.  I couldnt even imagine loosing my family like that, or in any way for that matter,  its super sad but we are praying for the people here in Guatemala to help them  feel the comfort of our Savior Jesus Christ and the infinite love that he has for each and every single one of His Children.  

Sounds like a super fun time in Cali right now.  I havent been to the beach for so long mother Gray  Kinda sad but its ok I can wait...  Sounds like you guys are going to be busy these next couple of weeks agian but same as us over here,  we  are planning to have 4 baptisms the 16 of June so we are working extara hard to make the baptisms possible and prepare this people to make this covenant with God.  Sounds like the family is really good.  I love you Dad, Mom, Kaitlyn, Taylor, Olivia, and Brett.

That would be cool if you guys could think about this people here in Guatemala and put them in your prayers  please they need to feel every ounce of your love.  Thanks guys LOve you all so much please be safe this week as school comes to a close and have fun for me on your summer adventures... HAVE A LOT OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!
