Hey whats up!Well i hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for thanksgiving.. its pretty crazy how fast time is flying.. we are already half way through nov.. and then december christmas and the year is over.. i am doing well and the work is going really well in canalitos.. my comp got a change and was sent to the office.. thatll be good so he can get completely better.. also elder vasquez who was my last comp in colombia went up to zone leader and got sent back to polochic.. that was cool that he got to go back there and that he is doing alot better.. now i am with elder duran.. he is really cool and we work really well together.. he has 10 months and is from el salvador.. he speaks english so we speak spainglish all the time.. its pretty fun and we put four baptismal dates last week.. but all of them are for the first day of next year.. they are the fam. toledo and mynor and luis.. they all should hopefully go through.. we just need a lot of time cause the fam toledo has to get married and mynor and luis cause they are only 16 have to go to church 7 times each and we need to get permission from there parents to do the baptism.. we are working full time though and this change should be a good one.. melanie the other investigator that we have says she wants to wait till next year to be baptized but she can get baptized this change if she would just change her mind about the date.. she has changed alot and her gma was telling us how she used to always just be in the street and into stuff she shouldnt be in but now she is going to church and all the time before us she hadnt talked to the missionaries at all but finally she accepted us and will get baptized soon hopefully.. if yall would keep them in your prayers that would be awesome.. i was reading in the bomthe other day and figured out why members give us food.. in alma 8 20 it says that somebody who gave food to i dont remember who is was would be blessed because he was a prophet or missionary and yeah.. i kind of failed with that cause i dont remember all the details but yall can look it up and figure it out.. we have found a lot of news recently and have actually had good luck contacting.. its alot more fun working then being with a sick comp or being sick.. my comp has been to the states before too to visit fam so i can relate better with him then with some of the other lats and his fam is maybe gonna be moving there soon.. well yeah i dont know what else to say the work is going well.. i dont have arrigamortis anymore and am feeling alot better.. that was honestly the worst i have ever felt in my life.. i wish i would have had more time cause i could have put more details in it and it would have been better but yeah i doing well.. mom and dad thanks for the emails and sorry i didnt respond to eachone but i am glad yall are doing well and mom that you are feeling better and that will be weird how they split the wards.. umm i had never known before that after dogs did it they got stuck together.. i saw that for the first time down here and it was pretty disturbing.. umm anyway i am doing well and working hard.. today i owned in dodgeball and dad i pulled a trick that you taguht me.. where you throw a ball up and softly so the other person looks at it and tries to catch it.. then you peg em with another ball.. it worked pretty well and everyone thought it was pretty funny.. well i will send more pics next week.. i dont have time this week.. well i got to go but i love yall and thanks always for the support and emails and cards and packages yall send me.. well i know this church is true and its great to be able to serve and a mission and teach others of Christ.. i am trying to be a better missionary everyday and trying to learn more about this gospel so i can better share it with everyone.. i know this church is true and keep pressing forward.. love yall a ton,Elder Hatch
