Hey Family...
Well I dont have much time because I still have to send in some baptismal records but I will just tell ya the details... I got Transferred.. I am now in a place called San Lucas, Sacetepequez.. Part of the Chimaltenango stake! It is a very wealthy place here in Guate. But my ward is huge. its a ward of about 300 or something 267 attended on this past sunday. One of the biggest wards in Guate.. But its great. My district.. Huge as well... 6 sisters and 4 elders hahaha its hard enough when you have 2 sisters ive heard but dont worry I have 6. 3 news that dont speak spanish. sometimes they cry to me at night.. No just kidding. Its great! Just a great opportunity for me and a large task to complete. What a blessing from the lord! My companion is a good guy. He was comps with my last comp in the CCM so he is new as well. His name is Elder Luis Castillo from El salvador as well! Good guy he just doesnt talk haha oh well. Well I will tell more next week but i love the new place im in. It just really big the bishop is AWESOME.. But in my ward I have 2 sisters they just split the area in two so there is 4 missionaries in the ward. Pretty cool. My district meetings are in Antigua so thats cool I can come to Antigua alot! But anywho I gotta goooo.. Love you all and the church is True!! thanks for the emails!!

Well hello!
This past week was a great week. My last week here in Siquinala. It was good though. Want to know why? Well because we had a baptism of course! We baptized another family! We were so blessed to be able to baptize this family. They were prepared from the beginning! Family Morales. Hno. Nery and his wife Wendy. They are awesome!! Im sad to leave them but they will be great members forever and will help this branch alot in the future. Just hope fully the branch helps them now so that they can get to the future. They are great though! So.... yeah change calls came and yep im out. Hopefully im outta the coast. Its almost winter here.. Winter means lots and lots of rain and you dont want to be in Siqui for these times because Siquinala is the 2nd place in the world that it rains the most! Crazy huh? I dont know if thats true but thats what weve heard. But do you know what else I heard........ Sheep. Anywho my poor companion will get wet. But we all do. Guatemala just rains durring the rainning time. haha Welp we will have to see what the Lord has in store for me.. Where and Who. Im excited because I know that im ready for anyone! Maybe a gringo? haha Welp Im kind of sad to leave my comp. He is awesome but Im excited for him! He will be a great missionary! We had some great times together!..
Well im excited for Molly and Jeff. They seem pretty happy.. Watchin One Tree Hill and what not. I remember at one time that was Molly and I but know Jeff has taken his place in the fam. Thats great! Im real happy for you two. Sounds like the family is doing great! I love getting pictures from dad! thanks so much! Love the fat face photos haha! Im glad that Britton is learning from his parents in family night! haha that is awesome! The Holy Ghost is a nice spirit! Well I love you all so much! Mom keep on using that iPad.. You go gurrrl.. I love you all! I havent heard from Grandma Jake in quite sometime.. Update on my Grandmas would be great! Because they are the best!! Well I love you all and I will send some photos Now... Love you all so much! Sorry my emails arent interesting I just dont know what to write. I have cool experiences like every second but I just dont have a great mind and im not a great writter..... aha But ill be better and tell more stories! Welp love you all and challenge you all to read the Book of Mormon. It changes lives. I had the opportunity to finish it again this past week. As it teaches in Preach My Gospel that as members we can always try Moronis promise! and also that we need to do it frequently to have our testimonies grow more and more about the Book of Mormon. I gave Moronis promise another whirl after I finished and i can say that I felt the Spirit just as strong as anytime testify of the grestness and truthfulness and also any other time I had read the Book of Mormon! I love that book and Testify of its truthfullness too everyone I can! Its my favorite tool! I love you all and Hope to hear from you all soon!

April 10, 2012: Family
Well this past week was a good week.
We didnt really find that many new people to teach so that wasnt too
good but that was alright I guesssss. But we worked hard and did the
best week could. The passed week was called Semana Santa. Its a crazy
catholic week I like it better like that.. Crazy Catholic Week. haha No
you gotta love em walkin around in the streets with their ninja outfits.
HA My comp and I had some fun. But it was a rough week the streets
always filled with just Apostasy. Solo quiero decir que adoramos a
nuestro Padre Celestial y Jesucristo, no adoramos a Maria aun que fue
una buena persona. Im grateful for that! But it was a fun week just no
one was home. But we had a great night last night. Let me start a new
paragraph and ill tell you the story.
Last night we had a great night. Started off with a family home
evening with some members and investigators. But that made us super late
to our next visit. it was at 7 and we showed up at 815. But they are a
great family. They are the Golden family, Fam. Morales, that showed up
to church and didnt feel good in church. But its been like 4 weeks since
then so were good now. Anywho we knocked on the door and they were like
do you have time to talk to us still? and we were like you betcha! so
we entered and got all settled and asked how they have been and they
were like good... So we were about to start that the lesson and before
we could Hno. Morales said Wait before you start we have some good news.
So we were like okay. last time it was bad news saying that they didnt
want to come to church. This time it was good news. They then told us
that they have been praying like all day and that they want to be
baptized this saturday!!! WHAT? haha We were so surprised. We had a goal
for this saturday with them but then they just came out and said theyre
ready! We were super pumped! I love this family so much! And you know
how we be right? because we baptize families!!! Nosotros Bautizamos
Familias! We are super excited and really happy for them. They are a
blessing from the Heavens! We are so blessed. I might be leaving this
area next week i will be leaving happy! and sad to leave these great new
families.. Well I love you all and I will send pictures next week..
well a few today I guess... Welll I love this work and I love my master
and savior Jesus Christ I am so blessed to be able to serve him in this
glorias cause! I love you all and im so glad I get to call you all my
family! Thank you Jake and Michelle for your letters! They made me laugh
and cry haha I loved Beckham dancin and I love my mom and dad always
for being so fiel. Faithful to their favorite son! ;) }
LOVE YALL
