dear fam,
alright here goes my email for this week... i am little tired cause we played dodgeball so if something doesnt make sense just ask me next week what i meant... alright so that first pic is of me and the fam guzman.. they have gone to church a lot now and like it a lot.. yes marriage is there problem but we are going to try and put a baptismal date with the son whose name is jonathon.. so please remember him in your prayers.. he has gone to church twice and to yms activities.. so yeah thats pretty exciting and i figure if we baptize him it will help motivate the family until one day they can get baptized too! so yeah the new elders and sister are pretty cool and obedient so thats good.. elder cheney who used to be in our district got sent to senahu or aka qeqchi land up in the mts.. he is pretty exciting though and sleeps in a hammock and walks up and down ginormous mts all day.. also when all the new elders came two extra slept in our house..so i slept on the box spring to give one of them my bed.. it was terrible! haha i rotated the whole night from my back to side to belly to side to back again.. it was a special night.. two elders though are kind of disobedient though so i hope i dont have problems with them this change and one is my comp.. he never gets up on time and he likes to talk on the phone a ton.. ive told him though he cant do that but we will see how this week goes though.. he wants me to trust him but i cant if he talks on the phone a lot with who knows who.. i know i am i am suppose to help him but i am not going to tell him what to do all the time.. he is a big boy and i am not his mommy or his babysitter.. sorry for that venting i have to do it.. anyway pray for him though because i need his help and he can be a good misisonary if he just is obedient.. we had an investigator go to institute this week and the teacher talked about how our works and actions need to be celestial works.. or on a higher level then the world.. also i liked how she explained that its true that satan has power.. but he only has power over us when we let him.. so its really simple we just have to have self control and ask God for help and He help us avoid sin like it says in corithians 10:13... well last week a drunk guy chased us.. it was pretty funny and we almost died laughing.. we just tried to give him a pamphlet but he wouldnt take it and so we left and he starting chasing us.. also something cool that we do in our house after working all day is jump into our shorts.. i know it may sound weird but its pretty legit and a lot faster then putting in one leg at a time..

haha missonaries are weird.. this sunday we had 5 people in church so that was good and edin delgado went for the first time with his wife and girls.. he has been an investigator for a long time and his wife is an ex missionary.. we are going to visit them this week and put a baptismal date with him hopefully and maybe now its his time after recieving the missionaries for about three years.. please remember him in your prayers too.. also rogel and dominga and juan and maria cause all of them said theyd come to church this sunday so hopefully it happens and we will do our part so it does happen.. we also have found a lot of news recently without having to knock a ton of doors so i know we have been guided to find them and some of the news look like they could be promising.. like gelmuth that kid who got his gfriend pregnant is really interested and gonna get married and maybe will be able to come to church in the near future.. also i got a cool watch the other day cause my timex died.. it cost me 25 bucks so mom if yall could put in just a little bit of money in my account when yall get home that be good... and yeah thats about it.. i am doing good just tired today but we are working hard and trying to help our investigators come unto Christ..thanks for all yalls prayers and i pray for yall too.. thanks for the constant support and examples yall are to me! i know this church is true and although we have struggles sometimes they are all for our good.. we just gotta keep chuggin along and we will be able to live with Christ and Heavenly Father again.. and eachother.. take care and have a good week!
love,
elder hatch
