Hola Todos! 

This week has been hard but really good one of those weeks where you feel it both ways.

Sunday was rough. I got really sick with all sorts of stuff iykyk 😔 I think it was something in the food. They keep gaslighting us it's not the food, but half of my companions got sick too so... yeah, I dont know bout that. I'm feeling way better now. 

we played a ton of hacky sack this week im getting pretty good. That's become the distirict favorite. And we got our solo español tags (only speak Spanish tag) I made mine with the Guatemalan flag on it. there's a pic of it in the photo album ⬇️

Highlight of the week was the temple. We got to go do endowments. It's crazy to be in the temple with like 100 other missionaries all going to different places but doing the same work. Now at the temple there's a little tienda and they sell those beloved sock ties everyone wants. All the Elders ran in there like savage hyenas picking the ties apart like a rotisserie chicken. It was chaos. I managed to get myself one tie its green and gold 👌

Spiritual thought: On Sunday morning after a long night of being sick I was able to receive a blessing from my companions. After that blessing I knew the spirit was strong and it made me so grateful that I have these amazing companions that are able and willing to give blessings, it made me think about Mosiah 2:17 "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." Even on the hard days, or the sick days, when you show up and try to serve, the Lord makes it count. I felt that a lot this week.

I'm so grateful for all of your support and am so glad I can share my stories with you.

Love you all see you next week!

-Elder Helm

Jamison's Farewell Talk

 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...
