Dear Gray Family,

 We are pleased to inform you that your son, Elder Gray, has been called to serve as trainer to Elder McConaghie here in the Guatemala City South Mission. We are confident that your son will excel in fulfilling the duties of this important calling.

In this mission, we assign our best missionaries as trainers. This calling is the highest honor and most sacred responsibility. We depend on our trainers to teach new missionaries total obedience to the commandments and the mission rules, diligence, and enthusiasm for the work. Your son has displayed these and many other fine qualities which qualify him for this sacred trust to help set the stage for the rest of this new missionary's mission.

Your son will find this new calling as trainer to be challenging but very rewarding. We know he is up to the challenge. As he trains with dedication, he will be assisting in the rolling forth of the Lord's great latter-day work.

Thank you for sharing your fine son with us. We appreciate his willingness to serve the Lord in Guatemala.


With warm regards,

President and Sister Shumway

Guatemala City South Mission

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
