use of que
Why is que in these sentences? I don't understand it's use. "Que disfruten de su semana de vacaciones. Que les vaya todo bien."

Because it's "sorta" short for "espero que (I hope that)" (may)
Which is also the reason why it's in the subjunctive (because "que" introduces a wish/desire)
Disfrutar:
que (disfruten) de su semana de vacaciones = I hope that you enjoy your holiday week.
Ir
que les (vaya) todo bien = I hope that all goes well for you all
When you see sentences like this, think about Star Wars" (may) the force be with you"
Estar:
¡Que la fuerza (esté) contigo!
Es como decir "may" etc
In these sentences "que" = "may"
Ayudar:
que (te ayude) otra persona = may someone else help you [because I'm not]
You start with "que" which is now like "may" ...and instead of the present indicative, you use the present subjunctive, y listo.
