Everything is going great here in the mountains of Momostenango. It was a great week except for Wednesday and Thursday. Jajajajaj my comp and I had stomach problems from something we ate. It was a rough 2 days jajajaj. But now we are doing okay. Other than those 2 days of roughness, we had exito in the work. We have investigator families who are progressing right now. They are the familias Baten and familia Pu Tojin. They are positive families and they are learning a lot. I am also learning a lot from them as they ask questions. I love when they ask questions because it tells us that they are paying attention and that the can speak sapnish. Sometimes we start teaching people who at first spoke really good spanish but then end up telling us that they don't understand spanish because they can only speak quiche. Jajajaj it is a struggle but I am learning a little bit of quiche to be able to communicate a little bit more with them. 

Hey I am really happy to hear about the blessing of Kate. Yeah I know that Kate is special. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures that yall sent me of her and I smiled at each photo. She is so little and so beautiful. I am glad to be her Uncle Billy.

And of course I am gonna come back to Guatemala. I am gonna come back as a normal person to be able to go and pasear jajajaj. Everyone needs to be able to pasear de vez en cuando jajajaj. Well I hope that all is well with yall back in the state of Texas. I am loving it here in Guatemala. I really really wanna spend Christmas here in the mountains of Panca. There are so many members and investigators whom I have come to love as family. We'll see what the Lord says. If He leaves me, awesome! If He takes me out, awesome! I'll do whatever and go wherever He wants me. I love and miss yall!!!

Love,

Hola! Pues yo estoy super calidad! Aquí estoy disfrutando las montañas y polvo de Momostenango. Mi área es super calidad! Me gusta todo de allí. Y jajajaj, Elkhart también es una aldea. Pero por lo menos tienen carros. El weather esta bien para ahora. No hay mucho calor y tampoco hay mucho frió. Mi área es de todo. En algunas partes ay montañas super grandes y en otras partes ay subidas que no son tan difíciles como esas de las montañas. Y si recibí la foto de Eli. Jajajaj el es un cuate. Y calidad que el va a ir con nuestro troop a Philmont. Pues, yo voy a necesitar tiempo para llegar a la decisión si quiero ir o no. Como Philmont es super chilero y me gustaría ir pero no quiero a la misma vez. Le voy a contestar esa respuesta en Diciembre. Esta bien? Si Andres y Antonio están corriendo mucho, esas montañas de Philmont no les va a dar problemas. Y pues yo ya estoy acostumbrado a esas montañas. Camino es sus caminos cada día.Pero necesito tiempo para pensar en esto. Mi semana fue super calidad. Hicimos muchas visitas con miembros. Esa lecciones fueron super buenas. Los miembros están super animados ahorita. Especialmente los jóvenes que van a la misión entre unos años. Y también prestamos servicio con un hermano y fue super calidad. Fuimos a su casa para rajar leña y también cargar la. Esa leñas si pesaba mucho!!! Yo estaba cargando mucha leña! Y para subir una montaña con eso es difícil pero lo hice. Antes de hacerlo, hice una oración. Jajajaj Jackson esta bien. El siempre esta allí a nuestro lado para ayudarnos con los otros perros que son malas ondas. El ya tiene 10 años de estar saliendo con los misioneros. Ya es viejo pero nunca ha perdido una pelea contra otro perro. El ya tiene experiencia. Mi compañero tiene cambios. El se va mañana. Entonce el próximo Lunes les escribo para decir que es mi nuevo compañero. Hey gracias por las camisas y pantalones. Si me van a gustar. Mama, dile a las hermanas que yo digo gracias!!! Estoy super agradecido por el apoyo que me dan. Y ojala que disfrute su viaje a Mexico. Pues me alegro a saber que todo está saliendo bien por allá en Texas. Y dile a Andy que el es pilas! Usted siempre están en mis oraciones. I love and miss yall!

Love,

Dear family, 

I am super glad to be able to email you again on this great Monday. Well it is raining here in Momos. It has been raining all day. But I am not gonna complain because it gets rid of the dust that gets kicked up when fletes pass by. So that is good. I know that on Saturday was Alex's birthday. I knew that he would either go to El Toro, Pizza Hut, or our house for fajitas. Jajajaj he likes to keep it simple. El Toros is always the best place to go for a birthday. Oh before I forget, mother can you send me the recipe for mole. A sister here wants to attempt to make it. I love mole! Jajajaj I haven't eaten mole in 15 months. That is gonna be the first thing that I am gonna want to eat when I get back home. It is super good! And wow, Andy likes going to dances now. And jajajaj Tony went to Six Flags?!?! He is lucky that we went there right before I left because there he learned that those rides are for the debil. I am glad to know that they are doing well. I am also glad to know that the family is doing well. And yeah we will see if Tony is taller than me when I get back. I hope not because if so, that will be embarrassing jajajaj. Wow Andy and Tony are super pilas! Great job with 2 medals. Jajajaj Andy is gonna have some records there in Elkhart High School for cross country. Things are going great here in Guatemala. Our investigators are progressing quite well. We have Gerardi, familia Baten, and Alejandro Lux as progressing investigators. They are pilas investigators. They have a lot of questions and that is awesome because that is why we are they. We are there to help them understand! They are understanding and it is super great to be able to help them. No, we didn't have a baptism this past Saturday. She ahs to get married first and then she will get baptized. I am talking about Maria Elena. She is positive but she hasn't attended church in 3 weeks because she is taking care of some business with her suegros. 

 Well I love and miss yall. 

Love,
