July 11, 2011

Hey.. so today i got a ton of emails and dont have too much time to write but here it goes as always.. so for the 4th we built our fire and roasted hot dogs.. they were pretty good and we also put up an american flag in our house..

sometimes />we say the pledge just to be stupid.. we also had a good fhe last week with some members and investigators.. we made cake then had a lesson then ate the cake.. the lady who is an investigator wants to get baptizes and so does her husband but what do you know they are married either and he lost his papers which makes things ten times harder.. umm also last week we were able to teach the plan of salvation again and it never ceases to amaze me how perfect that plan is and how if we really understand it and use the atonement in our lives it can bring us a lot of happiness and joy.. the investigators also liked it especially about the spirit world and degrees of glory.. most people havent heard of it but like how God is just and everybody will have the chance to hear the gospel if not here then in the spirit world..


mom they finished the dress for you and its really cool and i got corte ties made for all the guys in the family..they are pretty cool too.. we met pres watts and his wife last week.. they are nice and really exciting to be here and work with us.. they have a vision and are changing things up to try and reach their goals.. they are cool and though we still cant play bball i understand why and will make it another 7 months without it..oh yeah and thanks so much for the packages and letter.. jennifer and shayne and mom and dad they were awesome and thanks for the pics too.. i feel loved.. haha and i got one from the jones.. matts dad and mom.. ive been enjoying the candy and sharing it with my other comps..i did divisions last week with the zone leader and he helped us out with some of our qeqchi investigators.. it was good and they opened up with him because they were more comfortable and could speak their own language... so that was good except we found out the marriage problems are worse then we though with some of them.. wooo hhooo.. haha jk but i know i have planted seeds and they are coming to church every sunday so i am doing my part even if they cant get baptized right now.. we taught a really good lesson last week about the BOM and how faith can lead us to see miracles.. the lady had seen a miracle in her life recently with her health and understood our message well and was able to feel the spirit.. she is going to read the bom and we will see how it goes.. she reads and prays with her fam everynight which is really cool.. we just need to help her read the bom because it really can change lives.. because if its true then joseph smith was a prophet Jesus Christ is our Saviour and this is His church..
our park activity was great this week and we talked to over 270 people.. it was really fun and good to switch things up because after knocking doors for so long you need a change.. we had ward conference yesterday.. we had 152 people their but a lot were stake leaders.. but it was a good turn out and we had 10 investigators there.. they liked it a lot and their were good talks shared about families.. anyway also our movie night went well..
wow we have been staying super busy but things are going good.. we have changes next week.. keep praying for me please and my invstigators and i am praying for yall too.. take care and enjoy the summer break! love elder hatch
