Last week of this change! Holy cow it is hard to believe. It has FLOWN! And it really has been fun. We just had our last district meeting--I wish you guys could meet these missionaries. They are incredible! Who knows if we'll have changes, but I will miss them lots. Its been awesome :) Before I forget--Next week we'll be having email on Wednesday cause of changes. Just keeping you posted!
This week was one of those FAST and then SLOWWWW weeks :) but still awesome. Tuesday we went to Panajachel otra vez! I have some surprises to send the fam, hopefully I can send them in time for the phone call mothers day ;) Wednesday was zone conference and it was AWESOME. They are always so intense and exciting, and the spirit is so strong. President really pushed the Book of Mormon--they gave us all brand new copies in our own languages (so weird to see an English one again! They are so small!) and we are going to read it together as a family in the mission :D Sister Baldwin gave an AMAZING talk on the doctrines of the Book of Mormon. Its been fun reading it together over again--1 Nephi really might be my favorite book of scripture EVER, especially since watching BSG :D Again and again, Im so grateful for the people I get to meet in the mission. Our president, Sis Baldwin, the assistants, our district, everyone is so awesome and so remarkable. My testimony grows even more and more with them every day. :D
Sounds like everything is good back home! Our weather here is really warming up, I feel like weve gotten into the 70s. Im roasting! (so weird :) We still havent had rainy season, Im hoping I get to see it in the mountains, it starts in may and goes till September. They say its like Noah's flood! One thing I learned about the Indians here that speak Keqchi--they cant make a Z sound. Too funny! Were the navajos the same way? Ophelia is the only person Ive met in all of guatemala that can pronounce The just like an American. Nobody else has a Th sound. Weird!
Miss you guys times a million. Thanks for writing as always, it is the highlight of my week :) Love you zillions--

I just got this lovely email from a woman who ran into Tyler last week:
We were in Panajahel Guatemala last weekend and ran into a fantastic group of young men doing what 19-21 year old young men do best. TEACH THE GOSPEL! They all look great and were so happy and up beat. We bought them ice cream and had a great conversation with each of them. We were there visiting for the second time with our son who was also a missionary in the Quetzaltenango mission three years ago. We brought his new wife with us to show her all the sights and fun of Guatemala. As a "missionary mom" I know how hard it is to have your sons so far away and I know that you wonder how they are every day. They were so absolutely (can I say adorable)? You can be assured that the Lord is watching over them and that they are completely loving what they are doing, it showed in every one of their smiles! What great examples they are. You should be so very proud of them as I know you are. May the Lord bless you for lending them to Him for awhile and them for their efforts. Joey Caldwell, Springville, UT
