WOW DAD!!! You guys had such a memorable Thanksgiving, thats brings such peace to my heart knowing that you all enjoyed your time with family.  I love you all so much and I miss you guys a lot but I only have 9 months left dude! Thats crazy!! We actually had interviews yesterday and to finish the interview he asked me if I know how much time I have left in the mission.  I told him that I don't now.  He then tells me that I have 9 months left in the mission and I didnt believe him at first until I started thinking about it a little more and its true I have little time left, my president of the mission told me the same thing!  But time doesn't matter, just working hard and forgetting everything else that doesn't have to do with the work.  Working hard until the last breath here on the mission as well in life.  Words from our beloved prophet.  Last night we also had "Taco Night" where we have 4 missionaries in the same house.  Last night was so cool we played uno and different card games which was fun.  Also Elder Lund made mashed potatoes and stove top that his mom sent him in his package for Christmas.  It was LITTTT!!!!  We also just talked about stuff in the mish and other things as a district and what not, it was a night that was very relaxing to me and to all of the elders that were with me yesterday night.  But the work is going great here in Santa Marta.  We might not have baptisms this month but we will for sure have baptisms in December.  All I want for Christmas is BAPTISMS and showing pure LOVE to our fellow BROTHERS and SISTERS, they deserve to know the TRUTH!!  We are the ones that can bring THE WORLD HIS TRUTH!! As members of the true church, please share your love to one in need this christmas season, be unique, be different in how you all share the light of Christ, think of new and exciting ways to share the light of Christ this Christmas season.  I invite you all to receive your personal revelation and as families to share the gospel with others.  I love you all and remember to be happy and to carry light of Christ in your eyes and your faces letting others now exactly who they are... Children of God!!! I love you all and its going to be a great next couple of weeks!!! Be safe and have fun this Christmas season!!

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
