Hey
Guys!!
Well, on the 27th of
July I have officially finished the first year of the mission. :0
Time flies.
I feel old. I've seen
a lot of missionaries go and lot of missionaries come. And I've still got
"A Spotless Rose" stuck in my head.
Most of the people I
knew when I left home for Guatemala a year ago have lived completely different
lives. I have, too. I never would have imagined, January of 2015, that I would
be in Guatemala, speaking Spanish, living with all kinds of people from all
over the world, living off of $200 a month.
In my life right now my
roommate is from Peru. My closest friends are from the USA, Honduras, and the
Dominican Republic. I get to speak English maybe one time a week with someone
who understands me.
Did they make a
Finding Dory without me knowing it?
For me, time froze a
year ago. I left my family behind- Josh at 16 years old, Jacob at 13 years old,
and Brock and Bella at 9 years old. They'll all be different when I get home. When
a missionary leaves home, he doesn't realize how much things will change while
he's gone.

Well, about the work
this week, we found 22 new investigators, and 2 new investigators came to
church! That made me pretty happy. Remember the Great Commandments that Jesus
Christ gave us. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, might, and mind. And
the Second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these
two commandments hang all the law and the prophets: everything that we do as
members of this Church and as missionaries.
