Hey family!well here goes my list of things.. so last monday we had a fun family home evening.. i taught the lesson about how God is our Heavenly Father and loves us.. then my comp was incharge of the game.. it was fun and we are motivating the family to get back going to church.. the game is that you strike a match and pass it around a circle and when it goes out that person gets there face drawn on with a eye line.. and the thing is you have to say a series of words when you pass it encendido me lo dieron encendido te lo doy..
anyway here are the pics of that or ill put them on the 2nd half of the email.. on tues night we visited a family that has a kid on the misison in peru.. the kid is doing good and comes home in december.. but the family kept talking about how worried they are about him and his well being.. i shared dc 100 with them that talks about being proteced as a missionary and also says that yall or missionaries families are in Gods hands and instead of sydney and jospeh we put theirs sons name.. it was cool and i think they like it a lot.. i heard ross read that scripture before we left and its given me a lot of comfort while ive been out.. to be honest i really dont worry about yall at all because i know yall are being blessed and taken care of while im here.. so like sean heard.. there have been a ton of landslides here recently.. so the conference was cancelled on tues because the roads were blocked.. but we had in on weds.. it was really good and elder amado talked about a lot of really important things and it was cool because he told us and focused on how he didnt want us to learn from him but from the Holy Ghost.. so we talked about important parts of a good lesson, obedience and a bunch of other stuff.. but honestly last week was the most crazy week of my whole mission and this is the list of the things we did.. organized divisions for 50 missionaries on tues when the conference was cancelled, reorder food for 70 people, get hotels and or sleeping arangements for 50 elders, i had to direct the conference so that was stressful kind of for me, then clean the chapel after, pay the money to the restaurant and hotel which was 5000 something quetz.. thurs.. recieve the 3 new sisters that came into our zone.. then we had to do 2 baptismal interviews for the zone just south of us because of the landslides we got assigned to that one.. then fix our shower so we dont have to shower in cold water, do weekly dats, and missionary needs list thing.. and meanwhile doing all of that we have to worry about our investigators and their spiritual progression and salvation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.. but for real it was ridiculously crazy for us and tiring...also we might have seen the next pres of guat..while we were doing the baptismal interviews.. well we should have a baptism this saturday which is really exciting.. its a pretty sure thing but still please pray for the kids.. jaime herrera.. we had some good lessons with him and he knows a lot and picks up things fast.. we had a good lesson too with a couple where the husband isnt a member.. he had a bad pain in his stomach but when we went in to teach him it went away.. coincidence.. i think not.. also the whole way we got into the appt was cool and not planned at all.. we talked about he BOM and how it is the difference in our church.. i read the isaiah script that talks about how Gods thoughts are higher then ours.. it was a really good lesson and the spirit was strong.. and we really taught them what they needed to hear.. please pray for them too.. haroldo and andrea.. i also got to give two blessings this week.. both were neat and i really enjoy giving blessings and fufilling with my priesthood responsiblity in that way.. also i got to bless the sacrament on sunday and that was good as always.. 
we had 2 investigators in church but hopefully we will have a lot next sunday.. we are also going to have a movie night and i think itll be a hit.. and a lot members are going to bring their friends.. please pray that that event will be a success for us.. then the baptisms will be sat.. also we did tamales last week.. they were pretty good.. then we ate caldo de pollo or chicken soup kind of yesterday.. it was really good especially because its been a little cold recently down here and weve be wearing sweaters.. its nice though to have it a little cold..
it makes sleeping nice and being outside really nice.. honestly that was the most crazy week of my misison.. well i love the liahona/ensign from october about the BOM.. its awesome and i love the talk by elder bednar.. its really interesting for us to think which group we are in.. are we clinging to or holding fast to the iron rod.. i want each of yall to read it and think about which group yall are in.. lets be constant so that we can recieve many blessings in this life like having the holy ghost constantly with us and so that we can recieve eternal blessing and the exaltation as a family and live in a state of never ending happiness like it says in mosiah 2 41.. love yall a ton and take care.. send me pics of the events that happen this week.. happy bday to all those i misssed or forgot to tell!! elder hatch
