I love you guys so much you guys are my motivation everyday and part of the reason why I wanted to serve a mission.  I also wanted to serve a mission because I know that God loves me and loves every single one of us. I wanted to serve and give 100% to His son Jesus Christ knowing that he gave us everything he had so that we can have an Eternal Family and have a way to go back to his presence.  I'm so happy to be here and to serve these people here in Guatemala.  When I first received my mission call I remember feeling happy but nervous because the new language and a whole new world practicly but If I have learned something during this first year is putting true faith in the Lord and realizing taht I cant do a lot of things by myslef I need help from God and His Son.  I need them to be happy to feel peace in this life and to help be through those difficult times in my life.  I have learned rto be more humble so that I can listen to the spirit and understand what he wants me to do and who he wants me to be.  We are all powerful beyond measure if we put all of our faith in God and if we are humble in heart.  Every lesson we have had I have learned to open the heavens though our prayers with our investigators.  We received a lot of information and council from one the lords servants this last week Elder Uceda, part of the presidency of the Quorem of the 70.  I received so much personal revelation and different ways we are helping the church grow here in Guatemala.  Im super excited to be working here in Guatemala and taking advantage of this last year so that I can receive those blessing that we need has a family and for myself, the last reason why I wanted to serve a mission.  I wanted to change who I was and God has helped me see who I truly am.  I know that the book of mormon is true and that the book of mormon isn't just anotehr book it the evidence that Jesus Lives and the evidence of the Gospel is restored here on the earth again.  I apreciate you all for your prayers and for your love that you all have sent me.  Please be safe and have a  marvelous week!!

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
