Aww mom I love you so much!!  Thats so cool that third out of all of those people, im really happy for you!  Are still working out in the mornings?  When does the soccer season end for Kaitlyn?  Thats so fun to see how active the kids are in sports, makes me think about how much fun I had playing sports and watching my siblings play as well.... good times mom.  Why didnt you talk to him like Nacho Libre? haha that probably would have made him laugh mom!!  Its ok next time mom.  Thats so fun your in the Nursery with all the little kids.. Are you watching little babies to?  It makes me so mad sometimes that I cant hold little babies, because mom you know me I LOVE THEM!!!  Keep up the good work mom and keep being the best mom ever and I know that God will bless you for your efforts.  Thanks for everything that you have done for me up to this point in my life.  Im so privileged to have a family like you guys.  I thank God everyday for you guys and pray for your well being and for your safety.  I love you guys so much and hope that you can receive all of those blessings from our father in heaven.  Keep trying to follow the commandments and study "Come, Follow me",  en español "Ven, Sígueme"  Why does dad not like the new scout master?  I mean obviously its hard to be the best scout master like dad was but whats up with this other guy?  

The mission is going well, we have changes coming up this next Sunday so we will see if I go to another area or if I stay another change... I fee like im going but we will se what God has in store.  I already have 6 months in Santa Marta and thats a lot of time, my kid in the mish Elder McConaghie will probably be leading Santa Marta and I go.  Its going to be hard because the members here are super supportive and really nice people.  This area out of the 3 I had was defiantly the best with the members.  I have learned a lot here in this area and from my comps.  I hoping that I can apply these things to my life and keep changing more and more everyday.  These last 3 changes we almost had a couple of baptisms but they fell through but I know with a little more time and patience they will enter the waters of baptism.  Whoever those elders are that come to this area in the middle of this year will have a bunch of people to teach, invite, and baptize.... I love the mission and being a missionary of the true church on the earth.  I know that there are souls waiting to hear the truth but dont know where to find.  Take advantage to teach a little bit of the truth when you are at work or when you are walking in the street, follow the promptings of the spirit, it will guide you and help you find those people waiting to hear your testimony.  Minister to those in need, teach like he did, he taught as he walked, he looked for people in need.  We are the chosen children of God  that need to teach the Gospel because if we dont..... who will?  I love you all so very much, pray for you all and hope all is well!  Till next week...

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

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
