BACCCKKKK TOOOOO SCHOOOOLLLLL hahaha I will always remember you saying taht the night we went back to school!!!  You know me dad I always wanted more time during vacation but I will always remember you saying that to us as kids thanks a lot dad for helping me stay positive about school.  I cant believe that the kids are already back in school.  Kaitlyn is a senior, Taylor is a freshman now right? Olivia is in middle school now right?  and Brett is in 3rd grade?  Im sorry im terrible I forgot what grade they are all in hahaha.  But they are growing up so fast!  Its kinda sad to see them gorw up this ffast im not there to enjoy it but in about a year I will be able to see you guys.  But im sooooo happy to be here in Guatemala and to be doing HIS work.  I love being Dirstict leader becuase I have the opportunity to learn from the District and they can learn from me, but also I love to get them excited and pumped up to work each and every day.  Each day for these two years is critically important, not only for us missionaries but for the people that are waiting to here the truth, to experience what we experience everyday becuase we know that we are in the true church of God.  Im so happy God has entrusted me with this opportunity to serve him and do his will.  I have changed so much as well, spiritually and physically and mentally.  I feel like im a different person because I know that the power of the Atonement is real and is powerful.  If we focus on living the Gospel each and everyday we will be in line with what God wants us to do and who God wants us to be.  But we need to be ready to do the will of God and if we do what he says we will be saved in these last days.  Revelation and the constant guidance of the Spirit will help us survive in these last days on the earth.  Seek revelation and through the Spirit and god will provide a path of us so we can reach Eternal Life with Him, His son Jesus Christ, and our famlies forever in the reino celestial.

I love you all so much and I think about you all and pray for you each and everyday.  Keep doing the good things in life and go all out 100% each and everyday.

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
