The post office does not deliver to where derick is serving so we use a company called MayanXpress They don't charge for letters so just the post to get it to Utah.  If you want to send him a letter just address it like this: Elder Derick Gray Guatemala City South Mission 114 W 400 N #13 Provo, UT  84601 If you want to send him a package find them on facebook for more info. It is the same address but you send it with a form.  Just message or call them with questions. It's pretty cool they fly to Guatemala every other month and pack suitcases with care packages and take them right to the mission home where they are distributed. This month they leave December 8th so you would have to mail anything right away.  If not their next trip will be in February. Derick loves all the support you all are giving him and it means soooo much!!! thanks, Trisha

Anyways she has problems with the divorce of her first husband and cant be baptized at this time whish is really sad because she wanted to be baptized.  But all we can do is countinue to keep working with faith and diligance and to remeber that these people are our brother and sisters, and out purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ.  We've been trying to t...
