well right now im in the capital again and in colombia my first area in the mission.. im going to go visit some people tonight that i know and say hi and bye to them.. i just saw a kid that i found contacting and he has been a member now for over a year and in about a year and a part he is going to go on a mission!! haha its so exciting to see that!! anyway here goes my list for the week.. anyway so on monday we visited this guy who went to church for the last time last week.. he was really receptive and we put a baptismal date with him and he said he wanted to do it.. turns out though that his girlfriend who brought him is a member and they met on the internet and he is 15 years older then him.. and he is kind of a creeper or sketchy guy and he wanted to marry her without knowing her for a full months.. so something that we thought was really good.. is not.. haha and so yeah we will probably not ever see him again cause they are going to break up.. tues was a good day and we had 3 lessons with member and that was good.. then we started recieving all the missionaries with changes.. on weds we woke up at 115 am to send them out.. it was freeeezing cold.. like down into the forties with a wicked wind chill.. alot of last week was like that.. anyway the guy at the bus station was a retard to us and charged us a lot extra because he was just making the charge up.. i let him have it though to keep it short and im sick of people trying to walk over me and us as missionaries.. my patience with those people is low now.. umm yet elder lusty came though and stayed at our house on weds.. that was cool and he bought me lasagna for my birhtday so that was cool.. then thurs we woke up early and helped missionaries out again.. and that was my bday.. it went like this.. i had arrigamortis so that was not fun.. then two families that we had been teaching for a bit told us straight up that they didnt want anything.. also more of our appointments fell and we found out that the villalobos might stay in another town and not return to coban.. and when we walked into the house to talk to the dad carlos.. he had been smoking.. then yeah it was a crappy day and i was tired and felt like crying at the end of it.. haha but i didnt.. i bought cheesecake though and that was definitely the hightlight of my bday.. but fri sat and sun were a lot better.. elder nelson bought me subway on fri for my bday and we found out that the villalobos might be coming back.. we are fasting and praying that they will.. carlos says he wants to reach the celestial kingdom so hes going to stop drinking and smoking and stop drinknig coffee too.. so thats good.. jaimes fam.. the herrera went to church again and paid their fast offereing.. they are doing really good and the dad has a few weeks now without drinkning.. although the members references theyve given us haven been the best we had 3 invest in church yesterday that were all brought by members.. so that was exciting and there is a 22 year old named alan who is really interested and is reading the BOM and thinks its true.. he is cool and i see a lot of potencial in him because he already has support and is doing the basic stuff.. on friday 4 or 5 different times people made a joke about giving us coffee or beer.. they deserve a swift kick to yall know were.. umm yeah thats about it.. things were going bad on thurs. but they are looking up now.. im happy to go visit some people tonight here and things in our area are looking up..oh yeah dalia is moved now and not a possibility but washington is still okay but we are going to run his baptismal date back to the last sunday of this month.. anyway i love yall and pray for yall often and incluided yall in my prayers.. take care and have a great week.. write me back please and help keep me motivated and going cause its going to get harder as this change goes on to not think about home and get unfocused.. love yall though and have a great week.. never go a day without praying and reading the scriptures becaue that we help us recieve eternal life and be exalted!
love,
elder hatch
