Hey family!!
I only have 18 min left but i will tell yall as much as i can fast!! so last pday we went and ate with a fam.. they gave us good fried chicken but then a whole bunch of fresh onions and tomatoes.. ughhh!!! i gagged twice but i dont think they saw me.. it was terrible.. i still cant do fresh onions.. i ended up slipping a lot into my napkin then into my sock..i dont wish to relive that moment.. also this week i realized that i am gaining more patience.. my comp thinks he is right a lot but as we were going to a house he got confused and was like its this way.. at the beginning of my mission i might have been like no.. i know its this way.. but i followed him and didnt say anything until he realized he was wrong then we walked the right way.. patience is something hard but i still have a long way to go but i think i am getting a little better.. communication between us has gotten a lot better.. and during the mission its sometimes better not to say anything cause if you dont have unity you wont have the spirit and wont have success.. we are doing a lot better though and have a fun change.. the other day though we didnt have anything to do so we went to find a less active that lives in a village.. once again people gave us directions in qeqchi that we didnt understand but in all we didnt find him and walked for 2 and a half our in the rain in the mountains.. it was super pretty though and we had fun talking to people there and gettting to know more of our area.. also on tues.. we were having a terrible day and everything fell that we had planned.. me and my comp though both did a prayer though in our heart and our prayers were answered we found 6 new investigators in 40 min.. it was really cool.. we were really trying our hardest to find people and teach them.. and after all we could do God lead us to where we needed to go and to people that accepted us.. last week we hasd 21 new investigators.. it was amazing and thats the most i have ever found in one week.. and thats just what we needed in our area cause we didnt have many investigators... and 4 families.. it was really cool and a lot of the families are going to other churches but are not really into there churches.. like have gone a couple months and really dont have testimonies or strong opionions that there churchs are true.. so we caught them in the perfect time!! we will work with them and through the spirit we will be able to have success with them i think!! Elder Allen the elder i trained is in my district again.. he is in an area where the only speak qeqchi. he is enjoying though but has a lot to learn with the language.. its exciting though to have him in the same district though.. ok i only have a little time so here are some quick things.. i have fleas i think or mosquitoes cause i have 10 bug bites on one of my hands.. its special and itches a lot.. then i gave pizza to the town bum the other day.. he hasnt bathed since i have been in carcha.. i will try and get a pic with him.. he doesnt talk but it made me feel good giving him a piece of pizza.. haha also two cities were found in the bottom of lakes here in guatemala.. lake izabal and atitlan.. they are cities i am guessing that were lost when the people of the BOM were destroyed.. and supposedly there are gold plates at the bottom of one too!! its crazy but i dont know to much info.. if yall could find some articles and send them to me thatd be tight!! umm yeah i dont have much time but here are some pics.. one is a lady from our ward who washes our clothes.. she is really cool and we helped her bring a drink to the church that we used for the Fellowship night.. she is the only member in her family but goes to the temple and always is to church! then the others are pics of us by a river we found.. it was super pretty and clean.. umm i love teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ and The plan of salvation.. and the Restauration.. they are three amazing lessons we teach all the time.. how God has called a prophet again, how we know where we came frrom why we are here and where we are going when we die!!! and what we need to do to be saved.. i dont have much time but we are so blessed with the answers to those questions!!

the church is true and we just need to do our part.. i love yall a ton and we can really be together forever.. keep enduring to the end and we will be able to live together again and with Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father.. love yall and take care.. thanks for the constant support and no investigators yesterday went to church but maybe cause it was a stake conference and kind of far away from carcha but i am good and the work is going good too.. love yall and keeping praying for my investigators and im always praying for yall!!
love,
Elder Tyler Hatch
