Alrighty people sounds good, looks like the fam is doing great and everyone is happy and all is well.   This week on the mission we found this lady named Cecilia and SHE IS PILAS!!  she is ready to be baptized and has a huge desire to do so but she only has like 2 of the the lessons.  Yesterday we read the book of mormon with her, 3 nephi 11 and it was super spiritual.  I love reading the chapter with the investigators becuase they can realate to Christ coming to the Americas so well.  Their blood is literally the Laminites that lived here in that time,  their kindred dead saw the Christ and were testimonies that Jesus really does live.  Elder Dustin and I have the faith that we can baptize 5 this month of March.  It going to be a great month for us in marach and for the entire zone.  Tomorrow we have are meeting with all of the leaders of the mission and we talk about the goals and what we can do better to have more success in the m...

Thanks so much dad for reminding me of who I was before the mission.  Sometimes we change so much in the mission that we start to forget who we were before.  That is a good thing but also a bad thing man.  I have changed so much on the mission Dad its honestly kinda scary but at the same time i also want to remember a little bit of who I wa before the mission.  I truly am grateful for reminding me about when I was a little kid and how I was such a little pill.  It makes me look in the miror  and just think wow  Im different, im changed.  Im so happy for the opportunity to serve God and help him with the growth of Zion here upon the earth.  Im willing to stand a long side my fellow missionaries here in Guatemala in the army of God to battle against satan everyday.  I have truly become to understand my purpose as a son of God and as a missionary, to love HIS children and help these families in Guatemala become an eternal family through the...

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 pla...

m thinking its better if I start January 6th and then I will be working during the winter.  It probably the smartest choice right now and so I can spend time with the fam a little and all that fun stuff.  College will be super fun im super excited to study something cool and make my own money and live my life, but I know these next changes will go by super fast especially being a Zone leader.  I will be a little stressed out because of the new calling but it will also be super fun!!  Im actually comps with an Elder from my group that I came in with, Elder Dustin.  He super cool, we are going to have so much fun together and work super hard.  He told me that we will have a baptize  this Saturday and I havent baptized for like 4 months so im super excited!!  I cant wait to get started here in El Pajon, Don justo.  This area is super big and there are so many hills and mountains and stuff like that so I will keep getting smaller and smaller in s...
