Hey fam, hey hope yall are doing well and had a good first week of november.. the time is flying by.. its crazy that this week i will be hitting twenty one months.. i dont know where the time has gone and its definitely not slowing down.. so here goes my list for the week.. it was a really good week and me and my comp were really satisfied and happy after last week..
so on tuesday we had our meeting.. it went really well and a lot of what pres watts focuses on is giving follow up on what we learned in past conferences and meetings.. so its been good to have 3 things hammerend into us now for about 4 conferences/meetings.. i really agree with it though because if we focus on finding news.. comp study, and also working with members we will have a lot more success.. and why teach us something new if we still are doing the basics really well yet.. so it was really good and we felt the spirit really strong.. pres told us too that we are doing a good job but God is still not pleased with us completely because we havent reached our full potential yet.. it was awesome though and i realized that i need to focus more on my own area now instead of worrying so much about the zone.. because i am called to be a missionary and not a zone leader.. so i need to be more focused on my area and investigators.. also sis watts fed us bbq chicken.. orange jello, and twice baked potatoes..it was amazing and yall dont know how much i miss real good usa food.. umm right after coming home from the cap the assistants came up with us and did divisions with us.. at first i wasnt too excited but they turned out to be great and just what we needed.. we learned a lot from them and had a lot of success.. we had 12 news last week and 7 that day we did divisions with them.. and i know those are just numbers but in those we found two families and 3 really good investigators that should be in church next week.. so we are really excited about that.. i learned from them too how to better use my time.. with contacting and teaching shorted lessons.. that way they are more powerful and we get more stuff in in one day..
we had 3 baptisms in the zone last week.. and that was good and we spent all day thurs. going around interviewing those people.. it went well and here is a pic of us and them and the missionaries who baptized them.. its neat to see how God is always preparing people for us to teach and baptize.. we just need to have the faith and patience to find them.. we found the fam villalobos and they are the good investigators.. its a couple and their daughter who is like 24.. they are going to go to church with us next week.. they are really receptive and have a lot of questions.. please pray for them.. your prayers helped out a ton by the way last week.. thanks for that!! we are going to visit them this weds with the bishop so that should be really good.. we now as a mission are eating lunch 5 times during the week in diners.. that is fine for us and really cheap and they have good food.. but one sister in our zone doesnt want to do it.. haha its ridiculous and i dont have time to tell yall the whole story but she is just a problem and just wanting to be dificult.. so on sat we had to go out to their area and find a diner for her and tell her she needs to eat there.. and she doesnt want to and yeah.. sister missionares cause a lot of problems and are dramatic.. i will not marry a ex misionera.. haha we didnt have investigators in church yesterday but we had a ton of less actives.. we are being really direct with them and sharing that one scripture i told yall last week about alma 5 27.. then yesterday i was reading in enos and thats what we need to do.. in verse 23 of chapter 1 it says they were really direct with the lamanites when teaching them.. and we need to be just like that too because we are teaching people of lamanite decent.. haha i thought it was funny but true because i am realizing that we cant beat people around the bush.. we are just frank with them and they are realizing that they need to change and go to church.. cause they arent well with God and if they died they would not be able to stand before Him with a clean conscious.. also me and my comp were talking last week and decided that these two years are the best two years for us and our future but maybe not necessarily the best two years of our life.. cause lets be honest.. the mission isnt easy.. its stressful tiring and really hard work.. yes its definitely worth it but we are talking about people salvation here thats a lot of pressure on us.. 
so anyway i have loved my mission but it hasnt been a walk in the park....it has though be just what ive needed to progress spiritiually and strengthen my faith and testimony.. we got a 76 year old inactive guy to church yesterday.. haha it was funny.. he kept hitting my arm and telling me all this things about what coban used to be.. then he danced in the street.. acted like he was being baptized.. haha and we have to yell when we talk to him because he cant hear at all.. haha it was fun experience.. then he like slept through church... church was good and we shared our testimonies.. that is always good and helps strengthen ones testimony.. we also cleaned up a kids thow up yesterday in church.. that was nasty but a good excuse to get out of the class cause it was boring!! haha yall dont even know how boring church is here sometimes.. yeah last week was good.. please pray this week too for fam tercero.. wendy and washington and yeah thats about it.. i love yall a ton and be thankful yall didnt have to eat fiambre last week.. i did and it has black sausage in it.. it wasnt good and i wont miss that next year on nov 1st for the day of the dead.. its a nasty food with like 10 meats in it with nasty flavoring.. i should of got a pic but couldnt.. here are some pics.. 
also last night we found a family who needed a place to sleep and the kid who i was on a division with let them stay in his house.. it was cool and i know later down the road that family will realize the truth about our church and how we really try to put into practice what Christ taught.. well i love yall a ton and take care.. i pray for yall too and fasted for yall.. be good and always do whats right and yall be showered with blessings!!thanks for everything elder hatch
