March 7, 2011


Hey yall!well here goes my letter again for this week.. haha i have my list ready and have quite a few pics i want to send but we will see how much i can get it in 22 min!! but right now i am doing good and working hard in carcha.. we are in the last week of this change so maybe next monday when i write i will know if there will be a change in our companionship or if ill be sent to another area.. my guess is though that we will be together one more change but we will see.. anyway last week we gave a lot of service.. we helped put up a chicken coop thing one morning and that was fun kind of.. haha then we chopped wood with an axe for a less active lady.. that was pretty fun cause i have really neved used an axe..

then on sat we went and gave service with one of our investigators.. we chapeared or haha did the service of chopping down grass and small brush plants with mashettis.. we did it for four hours though and i though i was gonna die.. i only had one blister come and explode but it was tiring but good cause i think it gave him more confidence in us and also the confidence of his parents.. his name is eugenio and here is also a pic of us after we finished..
also there is a pic of me and my painting that i bought a long time ago of tekal and the temple..
then a pic of my collection of stickers.. haha and my baggy..
but yeah when your a missonary you do dorky stuff to make things interesting so yeah i collect stickers.. haha but i am not weird like a lot of missionaries.. today we had a zone activity and went to chilasco the biggest waterfall in central america and just listening to the other elders and random stuff they talked about i think i am still pretty normal.. haha also eugenio went twice with us last week to institute.. it was really fun and he liked it a lot.. also the teacher is really good and she focused in on him and explained some things in detail so hed understand.. we studied d and c and i was worried and though he thought that class was boring but he liked it and hasnt had to many questions yet and is exciting to go everyweek.. also the spirit has been there and i know thats helped him understand things better too.. also i learned alot about john the beloved who is still alive and the work that he and the 3 nephites are doing.. its pretty interesting stuff.. also after service with eugenio we carried down wood for him and his famliy but we walked out of the mountains and for about 25 min.. what looks like a light piece of wood gets heavy after that long!!
also something we talked about in institute and ive though a lot about recently is many are called but few are chosen.. we are all called and chosen but its up to us whether we are really chosen.. everyday in our lives through the decisions we make we are either coming closer to Christ or going farther away..we need to make an effort even in the small thing to do what He wants and not what we do.. its up to us whether we will recieve eternal life.. lets do our part as a family and indivuals so that we can be exalted one day and live together forever with our Heavenly Father and our Savious Jesus Christ!! also as a companionship we are doing a lot better.. we are meshing really good in lessons now and speaking about the same.. and asking more questions too to better involve the investigators.. the spirit has been a lot stronger and the lessons are reaching the investigators!! its fun teaching like that and with the spirit and definately its helping our the investigators to know what we teach is true and that we really are representatives of Jesus Christ and His church.. umm last night too we watched the joseph smith movie with a fam and there son we is the only non member.. he liked it and the spirit was strong as we shared our testimonies and little by little he is becoming more involved.. he and two other investigators came to church yesterday.. anyway i am doing good and need to close and send one more email to yall with just pics of the waterfall.. love yall and take care and thanks for the support emails and all that yall do for me.. also thanks for the prayers they really do help!!love elder t hatch
