This email makes me so happy hearing about your fun week and soccer and volleyball games and just enjoying life.  Im so glad that you all are receiving those blessings from our father in heaven because you are doing the little things right, I pray everyday that you all read your scriptures,  say your prayers, and go to church because these are the things that will always help us grow our faith in Christ and help us repent of our sins so that we can always be happy and enjoy this wonderful life.  This week we visited a family that is a little in active and they are in a hard part right now in their lives.  They lost their light to the house, they dont have money to buy food and Fernando lost his job.  Last Wednesday we gave them a bag of food so that they can continue enjoying life and keep this hope firm in Christ and in the Church.  It is super sad to see a family suffer the way they are suffering right now.  But I have never seen a family so strong before, they know they dont have money but they are willing to do whatever to make money so that they can feed first their 2 kids, Angel and Hilary.  Im so very grateful for  everything that I have in my life.  I love you guys, my family. It honestly made me so happy listening to how your week was and it made me super to hear that everything is ok and that you all are enjoying life.  This week we are planning for a wedding for mario and Gaby, its the family that I sent to mom.  They will probably be baptized this next week so we are super happy for them.  My new comp is awesome Im learning a lot from him and hes learning alot from me.  We are like the perfect team.  We have a had a lot of success this last week and we will continue to progress and find these people in our area to teach them the Gospel of our savior Jesus Christ.  I love you all so much and all I ask is if you can pray for the family Valencia, the family that doesn't have anything at this point in their lives,  our prayers can help them receive those necessary blessings to help build them stay spiritually fortified.  I love you all and I want to hear from more people back at home!!!! be safe and have a great week!!  #BRINGTHEWORLDHISTRUTH  #LIGHTTHEWORLD

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
