Hey, how's the Grovers doin'? :)
Wow, that is so amazing that Jesse got to play in the All Star game - last minute! Talk about fun; I bet it was a really good experience. All this talk about Jens getting big and stuff is hard to believe... :) Tell him I'm weighing 175 and benching 400 and he better watch out when I come home... :) Maybe sometime in the future that will be true, for right now, staying alive is good enough for me. So other than that, hows' the summer going? Hot, cold, windy? Why didn't anyone tell me that Kristy was expecting? and I need to wish Dad happy fathers day but every day is that just to let you know, thank you for all that you have done for me, you have know idea how far you example advice and love has carried me to were i am, thank you Dad. and also happy birthday Candice; wow, the big 30, I never realized that you are just about ten years older than me. :) Can you imagine when I am the same age that you have now, wow. Time just goes and does not come back. Don't worry Candi, it happens to everyone. But I wish you all the birthday wishes that you could possibly have, thanks for all that you have done for me. So a little news, I'm officially in the new Guatemalan Retalhuleu Mision. I really don't know anything about addresses or other information, but that I think the new president will be here on the 30th. I will continue to give you what I know when I get it. Did you try to send the debit card? Also, a couple things for our converts, deer meat, maybe jerkey, and two CTR rings, one for a girl and one for a guy, not really expensive but nice. I don't know sizes but I wanted to see if it was a possibility. It is for the family we married and baptized. I know this is the work of our loving Father in Heaven and I'm ever so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. I love you all and may God bless!

Hola! How is the most amazing family in the world? Sounds like everyone is very busy, and with work which is very good in these times. So I'm still waiting for Pics and stories with all that goes on, :) So as far as here, it is very hot again, and has only rained like twice all week, but all is well. I'm happy trying to magnify my calling, but sometimes it feels like I'm running on a treadmill going as hard as I can go but not really going anywhere. But the work is still progressing, just a little slower. It just makes me feel so blessed when God puts His hand in my life and gives me the opportunity to see it. I know that my God lives and loves us so much that he gave his son as a sacrifice just so we could come home; that means so much! This work is so big and the adversary is getting upset, the attacks are harder but the miracles are greater! What a blessing this is for me to be here. So tomorrow is an entire mission conference so we will see what happens, I will let you all know when I know for sure. Thanks for all that you do and always remember to give all to God first and everything else will fall into place.

Hey,
Estoy bien! Don't worry about me, OK. Here in Mazate there was not much problem and the rain is normal now, about 3 to 6 it rains hard and then nothing. But that is the way it i. This week passed by fast and tranquilo but the things are going to have to start changing, I would imagine. We still don't know about the ultimo or last change before the division. But when I know something, I promise to let you all in on it. The thing is that in a short amount of time the new president will be here. But we are happy working, trying to get back up on our feet again. The work still roles forward. I was reading in Jacob in the Book of Mormon and the world is doing the same thing. But as Jacob prayed for something to happen, the Lord turned something bad, like the Antichrist Sherem, into a blessing; about the whole pueblo tuned to God. We just need to have faith and keep praying and never stop. The Lord is starting to prepare his people. So remember to keep praying and reading and keeping the commandments and all will fall into place. Thanks for everything! Sigan Adelante! ( ¡HA-RA POR ISRAEL!)

Hello Family,
I'm really OK, don't worry! We have very inspired men at the head of the church, so don't worry. It was the first time in my life that church was canceled. But we had to be in the house for about 36 hours and ready to go to a different area if any thing bad happened. Here in Mazatenago, not much happened. We had other missionaries in an area closer to the cost who were in their house when the storm hit, but the church acts fast in emergencies. We just about got evacuated, but the hurricane did not even hit here in mazate. So really I'm fine, don't worry about me. :) As for the changes I'm staying in my area for 6 more weeks, but they say that there are going to be changes again on the 11 of Junio. So I still don't know where I will be for the rest of the mission. I'm pretty sure that I will be here in REU mission, but to be honest I really don't know yet. That's cool that the last week went good for all of you, I still want Pictures of the activities :) I hope that the trek goes good; just remember to enjoy it, don't get too nervous or anything. And just a hint - the spiritual moments are the things that one will really remember, so follow the spirit and you will have a good experience. Is there any thing I can do for you all? Just remember that I'm always here to serve you OK :) The work here slowed down a bit because of the rain (a lot of rain! really, you just can't imagine how much water we have here). We do have a boy named Adoni that is preparing to get baptized this week, but now is the time to find more, we really need to focus in that. I'm really happy here, working with the Lord. I did read a lot of the Book of Mormon this weekend; read 2 Nephi 31, that is the doctrine of Christ, and if one fulfills with each part like it says, Recibira la vida eterna. I love you all and thank you for your prayers, God listens.

I know this week is crazy for you all, and I hope this week passes good :) So I thank all of you for your prayers this past week, they really helped me out. I really know that God hears and blesses according to faith and will. Amber told me the story of Lucy - wow, amazing when we have the opportunity to see God's hand in our life. Lucy Mae, I really like her name. So this past week we had the opportunity to baptize this family, Juan and Angela - what a great experience. Later today we should know what happens in the mission, so next week I will fill you in. Oh, and let Tamra know that I have not been able to send any mail. I feel bad, but time is so crunched -I have so much to do. So I hope all will go well this week and I want to know how it all goes, OK :) I love you all and pray for each of you.
