Mission splitting! New mission in Retalhuleu

Hey family-

What a week here. I don't know if i told you that we were going to have a big mission conference this past Tuesday but we did. It was an emergency call by president on the Thursday before. I had no idea why or what was going to happen. But for right now our mission has 17 stakes i believe and we are in the top three missions to baptize the most in central america every month. For a mission to do that that would mean its very well close to dividing into another mission. And that was the announcement that was made at this conference. It will be split in May i believe. The new mission name will be the Retalhuleu Guatemala Mission. Its pretty much all of the coast and San Marcos. And the Quetzaltenango Mission has everything else plus Quiche now that was in the central mission. And from what i heard the waters of Mormon will be in the Xela Mission now. Very exciting and a little bit sad at the same time. But its almost been 30 years since this mission started. Very cool to think that its going to be another mission. As for right now i don't want a lot of people to know until it actually happens but i do want you to get a hold of Brother Palmer who served here and tell him the news and Sister Larson if she served here or not, i cant remember. Were going to be doing a lot of things down in Reu i believe in the next couple months to get everything ready for the new mission president and mission. And who knows if i`ll stay or go but whatever happens it will be a big change here in a great way. I can't wait to see what happens and help this work progress here in central America.

Love you all,

Elder Larson
