February 7, 2011


Hey family!So i ended up having a change.. i didnt want one like i said but as yall know we really dont have a say in them.. so on tuesday all i did was run around a say good bye to all my people in canalitos.. it was a crazy day cause i ran around to about 20 people or families and dropped off a photo with everybody and with a note to them on the back.. it was crappy and i had 4 cryers this time.. that made me feel good but i cried to.. with luis the baptism i had there.. his 14 year old sister started crying who is gonna get baptized this month then i said bye and stood up.. then the mom starting crying then i did then luis started balling and elder allen cried a little bit too.. it was sooo crappy.. i love that family so much and then i have luis a hug and he was like i love you elder hatch.. then i turned around and almost got a hug from his sister.. but then i was like woahh.. i can only shake your hand then said bye to the mom too.. so in all it was sad and i have to go see them again before i go home.. i have everyones info though in a book so i can stay in touch with them after the mission and a lot of them wrote me little notes in my notebook.. also another lady who we ate with a lot.. started crying cause we visited her a lot and tried to help her daughter get baptized and she wrote in my notebook (baggy) that her goal this year is to have her 15 yr old daughter baptized and her boy thatll turn 8.. so that was my good byes..


and leaving elder allen was crappy too.. we had so much fun working together and being comps..so these last couple of days have been crappy cause i miss my old comp and people in my area.. but i will have to move on and get focused on Carcha now.. me and my comp are starting from scratch cause both of the old elders there were taking out.. its hard cause we dont know our way around or many of the investigators or members.. but we have found quite of few news recently so thats helping us out and we know some members.. but yeah there are some pics of me and elder lusty my mtc and ccm comp me and allen and then me in my new area working with mashettis with the carcha mountain in the background and yeah elder lemus is my new comp.. he is from el salvador and has 6 months in the mission.. he is cool but at first he thought he was gonna do everything by himself and that he knew everything but he has gotten better this last few days and ive showed him that we are gonna need to work together.. itll be good though just these first couple weeks will be hard finding investigators and adjusting to being out of the cap.. yall should look up where i am at though its san pedro carcha.. and its super pretty..



also almost all the people there speak kekchi.. or one of those mayan languages.. its crazy cause most of them speak it in the streets and know it but also know spanish.. a lot of them dont know spanish too well though and dont understand it very well.. so i am gonna need to start learing a little bit of it though incase we find people who dont speak spanish.. itll be fun though but i really dont want to learn all of it or get sent to polochic or senahu where thats all they speak. but we will see.. i am doing good though just trying to adjust.. it feels like i had to leave part of my family again in canalitos.. but things will get better and yeah tomorrow we have a big conference so itll be cool to see a lot of my missionary buddies and yeah. the people though are a lot more humble here though and weve gotten into a lot more houses.. we had 8 news in 4 days so thats good and we will see what we can do.. but the Spirit will be really important cause we dont know what we are doing still but yeah thats about it..


also we cut with mashettis a ton of stuff the other day and not just plants but actual tree stuff.. i got 3 blisters but it was fun.. also its really cold and rainy where im at.. its ridiculous.. i have a sheet and two big blankets.. its cold.. also i hit a year this week!! woohooo haha its gone by fast but a whole year is still a lot of time left.. anyway hope everyone is good and amandas getting married... haha thats funny but if theres any cute girls yall know they can write me cause its always good to get letters especially from girls.. haha well i love yall a ton and take care.. hope yall like the pics and keep pushing forward no matter what trials or obstacles get put in yalls way.. with Christ on our side all things are possible!!Love yallElder Hatch
