Hey Family,
I hope yall enjoyed the conference last weekend.. it was amazing and i am really glad that i am able to see all 5 sessions here in the mission.. i love how i can always feel the spirit during whatever talk and that makes me know that really they are called of God to lead us especially the qurom of the 12 apostles and the first presidency.. anyway i am gonna start and go down my list like always.. and the pics are of me and corte or the typical dress here in coban and carcha.. they are cool but the material is expensive.. then i gave the town bum some pizza last week and a took a pic doing it.. he hasnt changed clothes since ive been here but everybody knows him and he always has food somehow.. one of the pics i sent last week was to show yall that i have a mission tag in qeqchi now.. its pretty cool even though i really dont even know how to say the name of the church in qeqchi.. recently here it has been super hot.. i cut my hair short again today cause its suppose to be hot all this month.. i think i am gonna die back in texas cause its not even that hot down here but i am just used to mild weater after being here and the capital for so long.. we found a single mom and her thee kids about two weeks ago and have been teaching them a lot.. they are cool and the the kids are super smart and like our visits a lot.. they want us to pass by everyday.. its a sad situation because the dad left them but we are working hard with them and they have felt the spirit when we are there.. there neighbor is also a member and so she is inviting them to activites and hopefully they will come this week to church or the ward activity we have on weds.. there names are myra estpuardo and amy and then i dont remember the little girls name.. then last week to a dog tried to attack us.. he bite my comps bag and tried to bite his foot.. then he came after me and i jumped ontop of a wall.. it was pretty funny but the dogs down here are so mean and all they want to do is attack us! and all they do is roam around outside cause most of them dont have owners! sometimes i feel worse for the dogs then the people cause the people can help themselves but the poor dogs dont know any better and the people dont give them food or flea medicine its nasty to say the least.. also victor and virginia are doing good.. we had a lesson with them last week and tried to put a baptismal date with them but they said they needed to talk about it.. they are still doing really good though except they told us that they arent married.. so thats a little setback but marry people is not too hard to do.. they were gonna go to conference but she got sick.. we are going to put the baptismal date though this week hopefully they just need to go to church though, so it wont be until next month sometime.. pray for them though please.. they even asked us though what they could do to enter in the temple and what were the requirements.. we explained a little bit about the commandments but they just need to go to church! and its so hard getting people to church down here! anyway so we didnt have any investigators in church again.. its frustrating cause we are working hard but not getting pèople to church.. we are gonna focus this week on the sabbath day though and see if we can get some to church next sunday... also antonio read 3 nephi 11 with us the other night and liked it and asked us about baptism.. he is the 15 hyear old whose family are members.. he is cool and we are gonna invite him to baptism too this week hopefully cause he has been to church and has supports.. just needs to work on his testimony.. but he is doing well and in his prayer he asked to know more about Gods words and it was really neat..also we ate a soup last week that a sister made for us and it was soooo hot.. all of our mouths were burning and my lips.. i am proud to say though that i didnt sweat or cry like some of the other elders.. it was hot though and we had a good laugh eating our burning hot soup.. thanks mom and dad for the money.. just to warn yall though i looked on my card and it says its valid through the sixth month of this year.. so i dont know what we need to do with that.. i bought root beer from an import store it was good cause down here they dont have root beer.. a lot of our investigators though have been asking us about baptism though and thats really neat.. a lot of them still have a long way to go but they have a desire to change and follow Jesus Christ though baptism.. we have a lot of work to do and they do to cause they can say those words but if they dont use their agency to act and change it will never happen.. anyway but thanks always for the prayers on there behalf and mine.. they mean and help a lot! alright just some comments on conference.. they talked a lot about service.. teaching children from a young age about the gospel and its principles.. about our trials in this life and how they always are for our benefit and that they make us stronger.. its like the bush that said thanks for cutting me down so that i could grow up and into the bush that you (God) wanted me to be.. i liked that talk i just dont remember who gave it.. i liked how us as priesthood holders need to step up to the plate and magnify our callings and use our preisthood to serve others.. Elder Scotts talk to was good about love that a couple should have and about all the stuff he did for his wife.. anyway C. Scott Grow is the coolest 70 member for his name and i like the final comment of Elder Holland and President Monson.. all of us have talks that reach our hearts and we feel like they are especially for us.. and how the prophet said to keep our eyes and minds focused on the temple.. covenants weve made or will make.. the temple is where heaven and earth meet! anyway i hope yall enjoyed it too..



know we just have to put into practice what we learned.. anyway i hope yall like the pics.. we rode back from conference ontop of a min van.. haha dont worry mom we made it back safe and it was fun.. anyway i love yall and take care.. and woohoo the lady aggies could win the championship!! love yall and take care and thanks always for yalls support!
Love,
Elder Tyler Hatch
