I seen a huge change in my branch. Everyone is so excited to do missionary work. I dont know how it happen but They are working really hard with us. This week in Church there was 48 people. Thats really huge. The last time Rama Sipacate had over 40 people at church was about 6 months ago. Im so happy. Last Tuesday I had dividion with the zona leaders. Elder Ward is from Idaho and something really awesome about him and his family. They own a ranch up in Idaho and They go to every farm to buy the bulls. Elder Ward knews The Dairy farms in West Weber. His family buys the bulls from Ron Gibson, Rex Hancock, and Blair Hancock. I thought it was cool to know that.

Type to enter texttoday we have a wedding. Im so happy cause Emely is getting marry today and on sunday is here baptize and two of her kids too. They are a Pilas family. Im so happy. Our branch has not had a baptize for 2 months and this month we will have at least two more. I feel so blessed to be in my area. We have great people here. I wish the members of the branch would help out more but they are too lazy. There is lots of lazy people here. Some people make fun of us alot but it doesnt bug me. Guatemala city central is great mission. its nothing like the other missions around the world. All the missionaries in the central mission are so Pilas. I love the people even though they like to make fun of me cause i dont walk as fast as my campanion but I know I walk faster then them. I drink lots of water here in a little bag and everything is in a bag here. I hope everything is going great at home. I wish Jackie and jose Happy Birthday. I will have a piece of cake here to remember your guys birthday. I love my family and my ward family. I almost been out for a month time flys. Well I got to go to a wedding so talk to you next week. love you all. Guatemala city central mission I love with all my heart.

This sunday was the best. We had three baptisms. The holy ghost has a very strong testimony. I got to baptize one of the kids. It was a blessing to find this family. I knew it would be so great. I will be sending pictures in the end of this email. The last couple of days its been hard to find new investagors cause no one wants to listen to us. They all think there church is true. I know We are in the true church of God. I been getting better at teaching. Im learning lots of scriptures. Its a blessing. I love the members of the branch. They help so what. I wish they would do some missionary work and help us out with our investagors we had. Our goal of my area is to get 5 baptisms we got three already. We set lots of goals. goal of area, distract, zona, and mission. We are very good at keeping our goals. My testimony has growed so much in this month. I cant believe i been out for a month already. Time flys when your working hard. Sorry to say this but im not home sick yet. I have been sick this week but not home sick. I hope everyone is doing great. Let me know how Utah is. Guatemala is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can tell that im changing already. Love you all. Can someone tell my mom. Im eating food cause she thinks im not eating cause Im losting weight. haha Everyone be nice to Christ and share your testimony to the world and lets be great members and help out the missionary but bring friends to church, less active or nonmembers. The Lord be happy with us.

This week been really crazy. My first week in the misión field.

Tuesday, We left the ccm and we didnt get our new campanion till Wednesday. That day we stayed with the missionaries that are in the office. They look us out to teach people. Can I say all the missionaries in the Guatemala central misión, they walk so fast. By the end of the day I was so tried. I never walked so fast up and down hils. Dogs would try to bite us. It was a scary day. I never would of thought this is how my misión is.

Wednesday. I got my campanion Elder Heslington He is from Orem Utah. I was really nevous to meet him. He is the greatest campanion so far. My first área is in the coast of Guatemala and its hot!!!!!!!!!!!! The people are poor in that área. Im so thankful for my home in Utah. I met all the members and the investagors we are teaching. The thing Im graceful for is that the coast does not have hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday. Thursday was a good day I met the rest of the inestagors and the less actives. Theirs a family we are teaching and She has three kids and the boys are old enough to get bastized. Her name is Emely and She wants to get bastized but she needs to get marry first. A lot of people here have families but they are not marry.
We talked to her future husband and he does not want to get marry.

Friday. Something really cool happen on Friday mornings. We got out of our house and started walking and Emelys husband came up to us and he tolds us I want to marry her. We were so surprised. It made me feel so happy. for the rest of the day our lessons went really well.

Saturday. By the way my camponion is distract leader. So we didnt have time to teach Saturday cause he had to do some Bastize interviews.

Sunday. The first sunday in my branch. We were upset that sunday cause of the investagors that promises they would come to church but didnt.

I got to speak in church. the branch is small. I think its only 20 people. The members have a big heart for us missionaries. Theirs one memeber that helps us out all the time. I love it here.

Monday. Monday was p day. but we get to write everyone on Tuesday dont ask why cause i dont know. We went food shopping and the rest of the day till 5 I did pretty much nothing but write some letters and talked to Elder Heslington.

Something really cool about my misión. Guatemala Central is the only misión that contacts buses. How do we contact buses? We will get on the bus and ask the driver if we can speak. So he will say yes. We will Yell to get the attion of the people then we start "We are the missionary of la Iglesia De Jesucristo De Los Santos De Los Ultimos Dias and we would love to share a message how families can be forever. That we have a living Prohet. The góspel of Jesús Chirst. We would like to come and visit it you guys at your home." After we Yell at, we walk up to everyone and ask when can we visit. We get lots of new investagors that way. I love this misión and the people here. I miss my family and I love them but more my mom and dad. I hope everyone had a great week love everyone. Invite others to come unto christ.

Its, been a wonderful week!!!! I miss my family. Guatemala is a gorgeous place.

The first day. it was kinds weird but i got to love it. The food is great. I have a wonderful companion . sorry for my spelling I'm losing my English. We learn alot the first day.

8/7/2014 we BEEN WORKING ALOT here its really fun, I have be so force that I learning everything easy. The people from Guatemala are so nice and short. Hannah Blanch might be a little taller then some of the people.

I learn how to love everyone and show care for the investigators. everyday i think about my family and i get this wonderful feeling that i know that they are doing great without me.

Thursday the 8th was a great day in my classes. Our not real investigator said yes to baptism in the first lesson I did. I felt the spirit so strong that my heart wanted to fell out. That was the greatest moment of my life. I made a goal that when i got to my mission that i will look for a Family to teach and baptize the whole Family!!!! I know that this church is true, I know the lord is taking care of my family and ward family. 

Friday I was feeling kinda down but it turned to be one of the greatest days in the ccm. Sometimes classes are boring and other times i cry in them when i tell everyone my stories. Alot of the members in my class are older then me Im one of the youngest in the class. I thought i would be the oldest but i was wrong. Everyone in the class says Im like the Father on the class and that made me feel great. I can see my classmates are down and upset. I do everything i can to cheer them up!! It hurts me to see them down. 

Saturday didnt feel like a Saturday. It was a wonderful day. I really don't remember that day but all i know that we are together. SorrySaturday wasn't that exciting. 

Sunday I have church at the same time as my ward at home. During it  I was thinking about everyone in the ward. First time i went to church in Spanish it was really cool. I had alot of personal study time. We also watched the Joseph Smith Movie every time I watch that I cry.

Monday: My distract became a Family to me, a lot of them were feeling down all day we didnt feel the spirit. AT tthe end of the day I told them to cheer up we all have a reason why we are here. I told them all something about them at makes me stronger and we were all crying.

By the way I found home here. These is a Elder from Roy and every time we see each other, we yell Home sweet home and hug each other I think its Funny but it makes me feel better and his name is Elder Fulmer.

Today This moring we went to the Temple. The temple is small here but its so gorgeous. I feel the spirit so strong in there. I wish i could tell you more but I cant. 

I hope everyone is doing great. I wrote some letters to some of you guys. If you do decide to write me back please don't send it to the MTC or CCM cause I will be gone, I will be Harvesting the lord"s work Love you all.
