Mom it is such a blessing to have this opportunity to serve others through this new calling, its been pretty crazy, but a lot of fun!  Im actually with Elder Dustin from Farmington Utah and we came to Guatemala at the same time, so we were in the MtC and all of the stuff, so its gonna be a super fun 4 months with my good friend Elder Dustin.  But Being a zone Leader is stressful kinda because yesterday we had a mission council and it was literally like planning to go against Satan in War it was crazy!! So much information so many tactics with numbers and stats about the mission it was super interesting but it was also a lot of fun.  Elder Dustin and I have to come up with a what and how of how we will help out our zone find new people to teach and at the same time baptize.  We will be going to the temple on February 2 so the mission is stoked about that!!  Go Kaitlyn!! I hope they win league and that they kick some booty!  What position does she play?  Go Taylor, Olivia and Brett!!!  Send me pics and vids of them doing Gymnastics and playing basketball and all of the sporting events.  They are just little niños trying to release their wiggles... Nacho Voice  haha.  So who is this girl mom?  Do you have any pics or anything?  I don't know any girls in patterson thats the bummer haha  but yeah send me some pics of her or something.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OLIVIA!!!!  WOW!!  12 years old she is getting so old,  She going to be a beehive  that is so cool!  

Im doing very swell here in Guatemala especially in my new area El Pajon.  It super cold in the mornings, something I haven't had in the mission because all of my area have been pretty hot.  Im excited though, we have the support from the members and they are ready to teach and help us find more people that could have a sure chance of baptism.  we have been having mice and rat problems in our house.  Its kinda gross because we can hear them up in the ceiling walking around and its just gross but yesterday we caught one in a big trap but it got out... DANG IT!! BUMMER MAN !!!!  so yeah thats fun ha  But how you guys doing?  How is work, the callings, school?  I hope all is going very well and that you guys are studying Come, Follow me everyday so that we can learn more about the bible and the other side of Jesus´s Life when he was doing miracles in Jerusalem.  Its a fascinating way to understand a little more about the bible because sometimes we read a lot of the Book of  Mormon which is excellent but know we need to understand what happened on the other side of the World , where our Savior himself was born, and taught HIS Gospel.  What a blessing to have 2 testimonies that testify and teach of Christ. I know that the Bible and the Book of Mormon are true and teach us everything we need to know about our Savior who lives!!  HE LIVES AND LOVES US!!!  Remember this during this week and draw strength from Our Savior Jesus Christ.  Have a wonderful week with whatever you guys have going on and I love you all very much!!

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
