Hey family!well i have a lot of stuff to tell yall but not a whole lot of time so we will see how this goes.. our meeting with president and the other zls on weds was really good.. we talked about a lot of stuff and i could definitely feel the spirit and we definitely recieved revelation on how to better the mission and our zones.. we listened and discussed topics such as divisions companionship study how to have success and help others have success and we talked about obedience.. it was really good and fun to see some of the elders from my group like elder lusty winkle dixon and fadel.. or elders that i knew in the mtc but hadnt seen for a long time.. umm this last week was so tiring .. on monday i woke up at 2 tues at 430 and weds at 400.. i am almost back to normal now though on energy cause during lunch hours and at night i have been able to take naps or go to bed earlier then 1030.. our meeting too was good because i feel like i am getting to know pres watts .. i can really tell how much he loves us and wants us to have success as missionaries and after the mission.. he really is called of God and recieves revelation to help us out as missionaries in this great work.. he talked to me for a second after and complimented me on my spanish and said it was good then today he emailed me and said it was good to get to know me a little better and that he says ill do a great job.. he is a really good guy.. also his wife is and she made us some pork sandwhiches after the meeting that were amazing and also that pie mom you make for thanksgiving with whip cream and pudding.. that was the first legit meal ive had in a while with fruit vegtable grain desert dairy and yeah its good to eat something else then spaghetti and beans and eggs..also as yall can see i bowled a 175.. it was legit and my comp said something jacqui always says.. elder hatch only does stuff that he is good at.. haha that made me laugh.. this week we found a new family and two other new investigators.. that was really exciting and we think that all of them are very accepting and could progress.. one told us about how her husband left her and how she is looking for peace and Christ.. tomorrow we have a lesson with her.... also there is a lady in our ward that was less active and then got reactivated and is giving us a ton of references.. she is really good and we are going to contact a reference tomorrow and teach them in her house.. also another guy gave us a reference that we are going to teach tomorrow and both of them should be good because they have member freinds and an interest in the gospel and book of mormon and family..a scripture i really like that i heard in the meeting was moses 6 1 and 2.. it talks about being humble.. i really recently have been trying to thank God for the trials i face because i know they are helping me become a better person.. and i try to look for His hand in my everyday life and the miracles he does..we also had a good lesson last week with a recent convert.. she told us about her problems and we shared scriptures with her about trial and how if we are faithful God will bless us after the trial and in the next life.. it was really good and the spirit was strong.. we said and its really true being a member of this church and active doesnt make our lives easy...its actually harder because satan wants us to fall.. but God always is with us and if we are faithful even through the hard times we will be rewarded and blessed.. so yeah i am doing good and working hard.. this week should be normal so we hope to have a lot of good lessons with our investigators and the fam cucoy and the references.. yesterday we couldnt leave the house after church because it was voting day..so i got to write letters and study all day.. but nothing happened in the streets so it was a chill day but boring..umm anyway thats about it and im out of time.. i love yall a ton and keep praying for me.. have a great week and always try to be humble and let Gods will become yours.. love,elder hatch
