 Jamison Helm Thu, Oct 15, 2026 6:33 AM  ¡Hola a todas! Im so so sorry I havent sent an email in a second, this has been a long week. But all good things! 😁 I finally made it out of the pit of home Mtc and am now in the CCM! It is so beautiful here and the weather is amazing! I flew in on thursday and our flight had 90! Missionaries on it. luckly I was able to sit next to my companion on the flight! When we landed it was so caotic trying to find our bags and figureing out were to go, we were like a bunch of lost puppies. I promise my next email will be longer, just got a lot to do 😅 This week has consisted of tons of studying, tons of class a couple of devos, and a little ity bit of basketball. We also got to go do baptisms at the temple which was awesome! Anyways just one quick spiritual thought.

 Jamison Helm <jamison.helm@missionary.org> Mon, Sep 28, 2026 1:22 PM week 1  ¡Hola, amigos y familia!  This past week has been a huge learning experience for me. This week being my first week of home MTC has been a roller coaster. From meeting lots of new friends, to getting thrown into a new lifestyle and having to learn a new language has been far from easy.  On Wednesday I met my companion. His name is Elder Duke. He is from Heber and he loves anything to do with the outdoors. He’s a chiller. 😎I also met my two teachers Hermano Anaya, my “preach my gospel” teacher, and Hermano Contreras, my language teacher. They’re super awesome and helpful.  My biggest win this week has for sure been being able to say a prayer in Spanish.

 Farewell Talk Jamison Helm • Guatemala City East Mission • September 13, 2026 Good Afternoon brothers and sisters, my name Jamison Helm, I have been called to serve in the Guatemala City East Mission. For the past two summers I've been a River Guide on the Provo river. I've made so many friends and have learned so many important life lessons. Today I want to share a couple with you. There's a stretch on the Provo River I know like the back of my hand—to the point where I feel I could navigate it with my eyes closed. I've guided so many groups I've lost count. I know every branch sticking out over the water, every boulder that sits just under the surface, every shallow run, and every rapid. My job is to keep everyone in the boat, make sure they have fun, and, most importantly, get every person to the river exit safely. Even on the days when someone is being difficult and a small part of me just wants to throw them in, I still have one clear responsibility: bring the...
