Dear Family! So the conference we had last week went really well.. it was with elder martino a member of the area presidency here in central america.. he lived in denton for quite a while and had a kid go to a and m.. he talked to us a lot about entering the door of baptism.. and helping people to be able to perservere to the end.. he talked about how we could get more people to the waters of baptism.. and then the things a recent convert should do to make sure that they dont go inactive.. then he talked about how weve had quite a few baptism recently but a lot of the men havent gotten the priesthood and so thats something that we need to work on as a whole when somebody gets baptized.. we need to fellowship them and once the elders leave the member have to step up to the plate and help support the recient converts.. so the work in carcha right now is geting a little better.. we had a 13 year old boy come to church with us on sunday.. he only stayed for the first hour but it was good to get somebody to church..
we also had a family of three that was gonna come but they couldnt at the last moment.. they have been recieving missionaries for quite a while but with us the are more positive and really wanting to come to church now and see what its like.. also there is a 15 year old boy and all of his family are members but he isnt.. he is listening to us but doesnt want to come to church and is kind of a bum.. he would be perfect to get baptized and be a good member but he just doesnt want to right now.. we will work with him though and see what we can do.. in our area the members like to give us food a lot.. they always give us soup though with really tough meat in it that i cant chew.. i dont like it very much and then they put dang chile in it.. so its hot and and nasty.. i also last night ate a chile that was made with nasty crunch onions.. i just want yall to know though that i got it down and without that much trouble.. its just nasty though and dont think that i enjoy it one bit.. but i do get it down without even gaggin..
haha umm for one year we bought to chickens and killed them cleaned them and ate them!!! i didnt kill one cause i dont have that in me.. i have some pretty cool pics though but this computer is being a retard and wont let me do pics.. i will work with it though.. and speaking of all the nasty soups and meats people have given me i still havent gotten sick yet!!
also recently here it has been raining a lot or some misy thing they call chipipi.. thats what coban is famous for.. so its been cold and rainy a lot.. i dont like it too much cause i have to wear my boots a ton and they weigh a lot and hurt my feet..
and i am gonna need to buy some new shoes mom cause my cole haans have holes in them and my rockports let water in between the leather and sole and they have absolutely no grip now.. i can buy some cheap ones probably but will need about 50 dollars though and i dont know how much i have on my card right now.. umm and this last year of my missoin i have put a lot of goals on what i want to read and study.. i have decided to read every magazine of the church that comes out.. cause we know that through the scriptures we have the words of the prophets of old but only in the liahona or ensign can we find new revelations and guidance especially for today.. i would encourage yall too to read parts of them cause that will help us to obtain a better testimony about having a prophet today and other leaders who are guided by God to guide us and give us warnings and guidance today.. read dc68 3-5 and ughh i wanted to write more about this but i am out of time.. here are some pics cause the guy fixed my card and took off the virus.. i stitched up a whole in my crotch..
haha and hope yall like the other pics.. gotta go love yall and thanks for the emails and support!!Elder Tyler Hatch
