<br />
<br />
well i dont have a whole lot of time but que me importa ill be talking to yall this weekend!!! alright so last week was kind of crazy but really good at the same time.. here goes my list and email...so last tues my comp and i made christmas cards.. they are really cool and today im going to send them out to yall.. they wont get their until after new years but yeah.. when yall get them though please tell me.. jorge and his fam are doing good.. they read in the bom and saw the joseph smith movie with us.. they liked it a lot.. rhwy arill have some doubts though and they need to keep reading to find out the truth.. we also had a lesson with them and we were super direct.. haha it was awesome and he said twice why do we talk about joseph smith so much? i told him i already answered that question if you really want to know go to church!! haha i love the mission but i get sick of people being dumb.. we also had a lesson with a fetzer kid that same day and he was saying like all the other guats do well all the churches are good and their is only one God... i said look buddy.. haha not like that but one of us is wrong.. you are or we are.. not all the churches are christ church.. just ours is and we do the things like Christ himself taught and He directs this church by a prophet today.. on weds and thurs.. we were in district conferences.. they were good and me and my comp talked about planning.. it was really good and fun to teach about how to plan efficiently.. i prayed to know what scripts to share and Heavenly Father answered me fast and i shared alma 37 37 and dc 8 2... the alma one though i changed the words so that it talked about planning and doing it with the Lord and how if we do that He will guide us in our work.. it was cool and everybody liked it.. anyway pres also talked about us and our team here in the mision.. it was really cool and he talked about bball and how our team is our comp, the Holy Ghost, the members, and the leaders.. also this week we had a good lesson with a less active.. we answered her ?s at first and then before we were about to leave i asked here for a reference.. i didnt plan on doing that though but the spirt told me twice too so i did.. she ended up telling us about her freind she wants us to visit that was going to abort her baby.. she starting crying and said she needed our number and the bishops and how she didnt sleep the night before cause she didnt know if she should tell the girls parents or what.. anyway it was really good to follow the spirit and help her out and hopefully shes doing a lot better now.. the pastorela or christmas activity we did was fun.. maybe not the most effective missionary tool but it was fun and a good experience.. we performed the signs of christs coming here in the americas infront of about 200 people.. there are the pics along with some with the fam villalobos too.. they are doing well they were all in church yesterday!! it was awesome and they liked it alot.. we had the primary program then talked about sabbath day then plan of salvation.. it was great.. other then that we had 3 other investigators there.. it was awesome!! we plan on putting baptismal dates with the villalobos this week.. also we put anther one for the 7th of jan for a 9 year old kid who is becoming active again.. anyway umm im outta of time but we had an awesome lesson with villalobos this week about the plan of salvation.. they understood it perfectly.. well i gott go.. i know this church is true and remember the true meaning of christmas and love yall!<br />

<br />
<br />
well here goes my list for the week.. im going to do the email in two parts because i have 40 min left so yall can respond fast and ill write back and also because i have a lot of pictures this week to send... alright so the meeting last tues was good.. we talked about a lot of things but my favorite part was a talk an elder gave about working and focusing on the basics.. it was really cool because he talked about how we need to do the small and simple things of misionary work before we branch out to the harder and less important or less used things.. he compared it to basketball and how we need to learn how to play in the paint before we go out and shoot threes.. it was legit.. anyway we got a thanksgiving dinner that was amazing!! turkeky gravey potatoes rolls pineapple.. mmmm it was good and another one of the best meals ive had in guat..we also wrapped presents there and then that night we got back to our house from the cap at 1130 it was a loong day!!! something cool that happened though was after we left a thought came to my mind that i needed to pray and ask God to protect.. then we had a pit stop at a gas station and about 10 min before we passed by a bridge an accident at happened.. i thanked Heavenly Father that night for protecting us.. the power of prayer really is amazing.. and also that same day at like 3 o clock in the morning i woke up with bad acid reflux that i usually dont get.. i was on a top bunk though and didnt want to wake anybody up by moving or going to ask somebody for medicine.. so i said a little prayer and within 15 min it had pretty much gone away and i was able to sleep just fine.. prayer is something so simple but so powerful at the same time.. and if we really need something and want to see Gods hand more in our lives we just need to pray to Him more often and always trust in Him.. we contacted jorge and his fam this week.. they look pretty promising.. they have a lot of questions and they said they want to know the truth.. we left them a book of mormon and if they read it tomorrow we are going to watch a movie with them.. well the testaments.. so that should be really good and the churchs movies are amazing and a very good tool to use with investigators.. anyway so that was exciting and the only thing is that they arent married but i was kind of used to hearing that after being here for 22 months!! alright ill continue on the next email..<br />
<br />
alright so the fam villalobos is doing well too.. last night we were in divisions so my comp visited them with a kid.. they had a good lesson though and the mom says she is going to keep going to our church because she likes it and feels the spirit.. the dad and the daughter are still reading a little bit.. and the daughter is considering changing her schedule for next school year.. so keep praying for them... and we are still working really hard with them and we are going to try and put the baptismal date this wek if we can.. so yesterday we didnt have any investigators in church because it was the queztaltenango temple dedication so that was viewed in every chapel in guat.. it was really good though and i definitely felt the spirit with all the talks.. and i really grow to know more and more that the temple is really the house of the Lord and a piece of heaven here on the earth..pres uctdorf dedicated it.. it was really cool and the temple looks beautiful and we got some cool handkerchiefs with the temple embroidered in it as a keepsake..also a prophet or leader said that there will be one more temple here in guat and it will be here in COBAN.. obvioulsy not right now but probably in 20 or 30 years.. but si dios me da la vida or if im a live and can i will come down here for that!! so this week was good.. we just had a lot of appts fall and so it was just an okay week nothing to spectacular.. something funny though was that my comp told me my brain was like an index.. cause i know almost all of the hymns and the pages were they are.. it made me remember how i knew all of jennifers bball teams names and numbers.. i also realized i can put my brain to better use in memorizing things.. anway today was a lot of fun.. we went down about 2 hours to salama and had our christmas conference.. we were with orphanage kids for about 1 hour and a half and that was a lot of fun.. we played with them.. sang christmas songs with them and gave them a bag of goodies as mom would say.. lol but it was really fun to make their day and there are the pics.. then we ate and watched a DISNEY MOVIE!! it was awesome and really a sweet gift.. we saw entangled.. it was really good and a funny movie.. then we had a spiritual part and closed.. then we came back to coban and got here a little after six.. so yeah it was a really fun day but im super tired.. this week will be crazy with district conferences with pres and the aps and then the pastorela (a christmas activity that goes on in coban every year that we will be participating in.. ill write more next week and send pics.. itll be really cool thats on friday and we get to dress up like the people here in the americas when Christ was born..) and yeah thats about it.. i love yall and always keep in mind the real meaning of Christmas and not just His birth but His whole life.. i love yall a ton and take care!! write me next week please.. and mom i want yall to call me at 2 o clock on the twenty fifth.. ill give you the number and code next week.. who all is going to be in the house with yall this year? anyway love yall and let me know whats up.. <br />

<br />
<br />
well this week i dont have a whole lot of time to write but here it goes.. im in the cap again because tomorrow we have our meeting with pres and we are going to have a thanksgiving dinner lunch!!! wooooo.. alright there are my pics too... the last one is us on the bus today headed down here from coban.. alright here goes the list... umm last monday night we had a really fun and spritual family home evening.. i read a little story about tools and how we all have different functions but we all play an important rold in the masters (carpinters) or Jesus´ hands.. i also talked about family unity and then we played a game and everyone had 5 min to draw a pic then present it to the group about something good that their family members do.. it was fun and the family liked it a lot and many of them were in church yesterday!!! last tuesday morning at 4 we were woken up to the phone ringing.. i answered it and it was a guy whose wife was sick and needed a blessing.. so we woke up called the ward secretary and we went to give her a blessing.. it was really neat and even though i was half a sleep i gave the blessing.. it was a neat experience and really showed me we as preisthood holders need to be ready to serve and bless others at any hour of the day!!! we then took here to the emergency room where they gave her some pills and treated her.. as we were there at 445 the power went out all over coban and alta verapaz.. so then we went home and went back to bed.. woke up and contacted a reference.. then went to check and make sure a house was safe where our missionaries had seen a guy outside of their house late at night.. then we worked and were going to help put up a fence when my comp stepped on a nail that went through his sole and into his foot.. from there we went to the doctor and he told us to rest the rest of the day.. haha then we went home and sat in the dark with candles from about 5 to 9 until the light came back on.. we have an electric stove so we ordered dominoes pizza because they have a reserver generator.. anyway it was a super crazy day if yall can imagine.. that was just tuesday!! the villalobos are doing well.. the mom went to the devotional last night and the dad went to church.. also the daughter is still reading and wanting to get on the correct path!! so we are still really exciting about them and we need to teach them about the sabbath day so the daughter doesnt keep studying next year on sundays.. itll be interesting this week though because of the temple dedication so we have to tell our investigators not to go to church.. haha thatll be a change.. we visited the fam tercero about everyday last week.. and as yall can see he was baptized yesterday before church.. it was really good to have all his family there and we decided that itd be cool for his primary teacher to baptize him who is a future missionary.. anyway they are doing really good and still changing and growing a lot spiritually.. brandon though was scared of the water though and had to be put under 3 times until he was completely submerged.. haha the poor kid..on thursday we moved two house.. it was a zone effort and took about 3 hours.. our house now though looks like a storage unit though and we needed to get some of the tables out and some of the 13 beds we have in there! it was fun going to carcha again though and seeing people.. also last week we got a reference of a guy who is really ready to learn and change.. his name is jorge and he has been an alcoholic for a long time but has gone 4 months without drinking now.. he understands the word of wisdom and also asked us why there are sooo many churches in this world.. we are excited to teach him this week and see where things go with him and his family..please remember him and his fam and the fam villalobos in yalls prayers.. i took an nap during lunch hour on thurs and was woken up by my bed shaking because there was a tremble.. it was cool to have felt one without being in an actual earthquake.. sunday was good and a lot people came and shared their testimonies.. umm the old guy i told yall about who danced in the street and acted like he was getting baptized walked in at the end of sacrament meeting with his boots on and walked in the door and took off his hat and yelled buenos dias.. haha if only yall knew how church was here in guat.. haha also the christmas devotional was really good even though i couldnt watch it in english and hear the real voces of the first presidency.. and yeah this week was good but busy.. next week ill write yall on tues.. love yall and take care.. my time is up but yall are always in my prayers!!! <br />
<br />
love,<br />

<br />
<br />
well we had another good week.. i will start my list and tell you how it went.. here are the fotos first though.. here is me and andrea.. she is from the fam. villalobos that we are teaching.. i have a little turtle in my hand.. a picture of our zone.. us and a district.. me and haroldo and andrea and fam.. me and an aggie guy shirt.. and me in the process of eating 4 tamales.. ughh... alright.. on tuesday we did a fast for the zone and for our area.. we focused on finding new investigators.. putting more baptismal dates as an area and zone and getting the members to help us and to get people to church.. it was a good fast and we definitely saw the blessings of doing it later on in the week.. i was grouchy though on weds when we ended.. i realized that its not good to fast when nobody else is fasting because you are the only one who wants to hurry up and go eat.. so yeah.. so we did a baptismal date plan and put it into effect in the zone.. it went well and a lot of areas were able to put baptismal dates with people including us.. it was great and i know our idea wasnt ours but inspired from God.. we have to dates now.. they are both with 9 year old kids though but we are working on putting dates with others too..also this week we recieved 6 references which is the most ive recieved one week in my whole mission.. and they were from three different people.. its really been nice because the ward is starting to catch the missionary spirit and help us out a lot and talk to their friends and share their beliefs with them.. with the fam fetzer we are still getting them to read and still trying to get them to church.. pray for them though please.. also we are working a lot with fam tercero.. he is going to get baptized the 4 of december.. the family is really changing and wanting to go to church and the activities and raise their kids up in the right way.. i visited them last night with a kid and the change in them is awesome.. brandon too the kid at first wouldnt really talk to us but now he is opening up and answering questions and praying.. so please keep them in your prayers too please.. also washington rodrigues has a date for the 24.. thatll be more work though because they are going on vacations for two weeks.. he is 9 too and wants to do it but still needs to learn a lot and go to church more.. dalia a 15 year old girl that was a reference given to us has now gone to church twice and she likes it a lot.. her parents dont really want anything but support her in going to our church.. so thats good and she is reading and already has a lot of friends in church.. the fam villalobos is doing good too but still werent in church this sunday.. we put a ´´contract´¨ with them though to keep the word of wisdom.. they are doing good and the mom has stopped drinking coffee for a week even though she gets headaches from not drinking it.. we gave her a substitute though and they are doing good.. we are going to work this week on strengthening their testimonies about the bom and the prophet joseph smith.. please remember to pray for them too.. on sat i ate 5 tamales.. that was way too many and i thought i was going to explode.. it was not fun and im not exciting for christmas because we will get a ton on the 24 and 25th.. we had stake conference on sunday.. it was good and was broadcasted all throughout guatemala.. it was good and pres uchtdorf talked along with elder holland and clark.. it was really good and it was sick hearing elder holland speak spanish.. haha it made my day.. well i learned a lot from that and they talked about how we need to do 4 things everyday.. pray read the scriptures.. smile and be worthy to go to the temple.. i saw carcha families there too and that was cool.. the change ended too yesterday and im staying with my comp which im excited about because i like the zone and want to have christmas here in coban.. well 11 missionaries are leaving the zone and so the zone is going to be really different.. im excited to see who they are though and hopefully they are good missionaries and hard workers... this week is going to be tiring though and without a lot of sleep.. well i love yall a lot and hope yall have a great week.. take care and always remember to do the little things and smile.. because you can brighten up peoples day like that and make people have a change in their days.. love yall take care and be good and happy thanksgiving!!<br />

<br />
<br />
well today i really dont have anytime at all to write yall.. ill make it a quick email though and i also forgot to make a list of what i was going to say so itll probably be just a bunch of scattered thoughts.. thanks for all the emails though and the happy bdays.. dang im getting old huh? haha i dont feel like it.. well so last week was kind of crazy.. on tues the assistants told us that we had to make a list of all the wards and branches and stakes with their attendance in sac meeting for all of 2011.. which sounds easy but none of that info is in the computer so we did that for about 3 hours making it into a excel worksheet.. it was not very fun and i let the aps know that i wasnt very happy about it.. haha i dont know if thats good or bad but if i dont like things anymore i tell it how it is.. i think its a good thing because i used to be just way to nice when i didnt agree with things.. umm that night though we put a baptismal date with dalia... that was good and her parents are supported of her even thought they dont really want to go church.. anyway she needs to go to church though 5 more times before she can get baptized.. and thatll be pushing my gonig home date... anyway we found out changes last night.. a few people in our zone are going to be changed but me and my comp are staying together.. so im happy to be finishing here in zone coban.. i will have more then a year being here when i go home.. anyway this week will be crazy with a bunch of missionaries in the house and waking up early to take them to the bus stop. umm anway yeah thats about it.. we cleaned the house this week.. then i did divisions in tanchi and that was fun because it is kind of in the boonies... anyway i gave a talk on sunday and that was good.. then we had 4 investigators in church.. and yeah thats about it.. well take care and i love yall.. <br />

<br />
<br />
whats up? time is flying by and we are already half way throught this change.. things are going really well though and we as of right now have 4 baptisms planned for my last weekend in the mission.. so if everything goes well thatd be a really nice way to end the mission.. anway thing are going well and here goes my list for the week... alright well on monday we had a couple family home evenings.. one was funny because we went with a couple and their son who just got back from his mission like a month ago.. after we finished the lesson they were bashing on him saying how they wanted him to study but he didnt want to because he couldnt sign up for the courses he wanted in time and they were like we are looking out for your future and he was just like i want to wait till next year.. haha i hope yall dont try to force me to do things.. tuesday was good and we are still working with the fam estupe who needs to get a divorce then married.. but then then marriage isnt functioning.. that was a special lesson.. haha i dont know if its better that they stay together or seperate cause they arent happy.. im so sick of dang marriage problems.. on tuesday too there were a lot of changes because 7 new misisonaries came in from mexico so we had a bunch of commotion that day and i was running around with those elders trying to send them off get them fed and yeah it was a crazy day..weds we woke up at 345 then at 530 to send more missionaries out.. i was tired that day and am glad that was the last time i need to worry about sending off missionaries and picking them up.. that day wasnt the best either because that was the worst day of the cold i had last week.. anway that night though we went with another family without priesthood holder there and we gave like 10 back to school and comfort blessings.. that was neat to do again.. thurs we had zone conference and that was really good.. i learned how to better work with members and how to solve some of the common challenges that we have as missionaries and problems our investigators have.. also hna watts talked about how to measure our progress and growth in the way we treat others, especially those we interact with frequently.. jaime herreras dad is drinking again and that was sad to see.. they werent in church again yesterday and we gave him a blessing and a BOM to keep in his taxi when the temptaions hit him.. its sad though and we are trying to help him.. its just hard to overcome alcoholism.. alan the 23 year old has a baptismal date for the 11 of Feb.. he was in church yesterday and is reading and doing really well.. he really has been prepared and is turning his life around and understanding everything we teach him.. the fam villalobos too is doing well.. the dad was in church yesterday.. he is doing well and they are still reading and tommorow we are going to do a special fast with them with the purpose of them obtaining an answer about Joseph smith the Bom and the church.. the dad though is doing really well and said he wants to complete with the things in the church.. he came without his wife and was like personally i want to do things right.. wendy and washington are progressing little by little... i feel bad for her as a single mom but shes got to get her kids in church if she wants to see a change in them a change in her home and a change in her own life.. the bisphop went with my comp last night to visit her and things are looking up and she wants to change.. washington has a date for the 11 of feb too.. dunia and shaily are doing well too.. they were in church yesterday and it mostly with kids depends on their parents and sis. dunia is doing well and helping her daughter out a lot.. olivia and her aunt are doing well too.. olivia is a cute little girl and helping her aunt become active again and helping her aunt read the scriptures.. she is really excited to get baptized.. we just need to get her moms signature who lives a little ways away... the fam tercero too is struggling again after being in church yesterday. .the mom was making and selling tortillas when we got their.. i was mad and when we talked with the dad and kids i was like..¨your wife should not be selling tortillas because she is not keeping the sabbath day holy¨ then he tried to explain to me why and how they were going to hire somebody else to work sundays for her.. and i said you cant do that either!! stupid stupid stupid.. haha we are going to visit them this week and let them have it or give cincho as we say.. cincho means belt.. because they no better and yeah we are really going to let them have it because they are going to screw up their kids lives by giving them bad examples and not being in church on sunday!!! anyway im doing good and last week too we had 15 lessons with member.. they are helping us out a lot and the communication between us and the leaders is becoming better and smoother and the ward and missionary work is getting a lot better.. anyway i love yall a ton.. dont be missing me too much ill be home before yall know it :P haha but it doesnt even seem like ill be going home.. its a really weird feeling.. anway love yall and thanks for the emails!!!

<br />
<br />
Well i dont have a whole lot of time but here goes my list and email for the week.. so visiting my first area last week was awesome.. all 5 of my converts though have moved out of the area though so that was sad that i couldnt see any of them.. my maria fernanda and sergio are still doing well.. that is the couple i got married.. she was a counselor in the YW for a while so that was cool to hear.. i visited a lot of famlies and they were excited to see me and happy that i hadnt forgot about them.. i found three kids contacting and got them to church their and they were all baptized now and all doing well in the church.. they were exciting to see me and it was really exciting to see the fruits of my labor.. our meeting with pres watts was good and we learned a lot.. a lot was focused on a plan we need to put into effect in our wards that was given my elder parry of the 12 apostles.. we are doing it little by little and my and my comp were able to feel the spirit and recieve some really good ideas on how to put it into use in our ward and in the whole zone.. it is a big thing to do but we broke it down into four week and we are going to do it little by little so its not such a daunting task.. hopefully it turns out welll though because working more efficiently with members is the key to having more success.. we also talked about having the faith to baptize 4 a month.. i think we will be able to do that next month and before i come home.. because we have some really good possiblities that im going to tell yall about and we are super excited about them.. elder allen the elder i trained is a zone leader now.. he is a good missionary and it was fun to see him last mon and tues.. he is doing really well and already has almost 15 months!! thanks jen and joc for the packages yall sent me.. they were awesome and i loved the pics.. on weds when we left i prayed thatd wed find a fam and in the first lesson we did.. that was a neat experience cause our prayer and desire was almost answered immetiately.. i know that God answers our prayers.. not always that fast but He does in His form and in the right time.. a lady named dunia this week told us that she was to have her daughter get baptized and her daughter is 10 and has the same desire.. so we put a baptismal date with her and we have the date for the 10 of feb.. so that was exciting and came out of no where.. we found another family too.. the couples names are leopoldo and carmen.. we taught them about the Bom and they understood it perfectly and they understood about the prophet and the organization of the church..it was really neat and they are prepared.. they need to get married though but seem to be ready to recieve the gospel.. the fam villalobos too are doing well. they arent leaving coban so that was answer to our prayers and fast.. they didnt come to church though and they seem a little down.. we are working though with them and they have baptism in mind we just need to work really hard on their testimonies of the BOM and Joseph Smith..please remember them in yalls prayers..alan the 22 year old was in church again and doing really well.. he says his parents support him going to church and he is still reading the BOM and progressing.. this week we are going to put a baptismal date with him.. we went exploring kind of on fri.. it was fun and we got to know our area more and we taught two lessons and had kids from the ward help us.. it was fun and i have some cool pics of where we went.. the two 9 year olds we baptized were both in church yesterday and they seem to be doing very well and their families are getting stronger still too.. so that was awesome to see.. we had 16 lessons with member last week.. thats the most ive ever had.. it was awesome and the members and future missionaries are helping us out a ton and we are starting to see a change in our ward and a lot more success in the missionary work.. on sat we taught couple for the first time and then yesterday they were in church.. it was awesome and they liked it a lot.. last week was just tight and the spirit really guided us to people.. we definitely saw Gods hand in the work last week and we were very blessed to find famlilies (3) and other very good possiblities for baptism.. that really was one of the best weeks of my mission.. everything went almost perfect.. yesterday too i gave three blessings to ladies or ym who dont have a priesthood holder in the house.. it was really nice to be able to help them and give them blessings of health and comfort.. i really have taken for granted having dad in the house always there to give us blessings whe n we needed them.. anyway love yall a lot and take care.. im still focused but in one month from today i will be with some of yall!!!<br />
<br />
love yall take care and be good!<br />

<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
love,<br />

<br />
<br />
well we had another great week.. things went really well and all of our planned baptisms for the 11 of feb are still looking really well.. anyway so dunia and shaily seem to be doing really well.. sis dunia is divorced and only has her kids every other weekend but she was in church yesterday and her daughter shaily is doing really well and learning a lot and understanding well.. tonight we have a family home evening that we are going to do with them... shaily just needs to go this sunday so that she can be baptized on the 11th.. on tues we had a cool experience.. everything we had planned to do in the morning fell but i saw this street that i felt that we should contact cause we had never entered in there before..so we did and we found a less active lady who hadnt gone to church for about 5 years and we had no clue that she lived there.. we taught her last week and we painted some of her house on sat.. it was really fun and we are going to start teaching her grandaughter who is not a member but had gone to church for a while.. there is a pic of us with the breakfast the lady gave us.. it was good with beans and eggs and crapes.. it was a neat experience where the spirit guided me and us to that street.. on tues we did a fast with the family villalobos.. it went really well and they could feel the spirit and their testimony about the BOM and joseph smith is growing greatly.. they really are starting to love the BOM and are feasting upon its words.. they really have baptism in their minds now.. they just need to make the decision and do it.. because they are pretty close to being ready but they think they need to know a whole lot.. when really thats not necessary...they really have felt the spirit and realizes that a lot of the things in the catholic church are not right where they used to go.. anyway it was an awesome fast and thanks for all yalls prayers..washington and wendy are doing well.. they were in church all three hours yesterday.. that was really good and they are starting to understand things really well and see the blessings they are recieving for reading and going to church.. alan too is doing well.. we taught him a couple times last week with just us and with out all his member friends.. it went well and about a year ago he was really involved in drug traficking.. he has been out of it for a year now but he was the driver for some of the things the drug lords did here in coban.. anyway so we have been talking to pres and seeing whether or not pres needs to come and interview him or not cause he has never taken anybodies life but he has seen some bad things.. anyway he has completely changed though and is in church every sunday and reading the BOM and feels a really warm and comforting feeling while he reads it.. anwyay so he is doing good and is repentant of what he did in the past...olivia is doing well too.. she loves being in church and continues to help her aunt our a lot with spiritual things like reading and praying and going to church.. please pray though that we will be able to get her moms signature though so she can get baptized. . the mom lives in a villiage a long ways away and we need to get her signature or she cant be baptized.. missionaries there are going to see if they can find her though.. on sat we went to a baptism that didnt happen the girls dad was going to baptize her but when the girl got into the water she started to cry because it was cold.. and she has a breathing problem and didnt get baptized.. i felt bad for her.. but yeah alan was there but he understood everything though and we joked with him saying that we hope he doesnt cry when he gets baptized.. anyway yeah.. yesterday a members dog followed my comp and i to church.. it kept coming into the sacrament room and id scare it out.. but then right before the sac prayer it snuck in and hid underneath the benches and wouldnt leave.. we ended the song and we still couldnt get him out.. haha it was pretty funny but finally we got him out and the sacrament was blessed and passed.. anyway last week was awesome.. we taught 35 lessons and helped out a ton of people... we helped out a lot of less actives to go to church too.. i really do love this work and know its the work of the Lord... im going to miss it but im taking advantage of this last change.. its been great and hopefully we end up baptizing all 4 of those people on my last saturday here.. anyway i love yall a ton and here are some pics.. the third one i think has allan in it.. love yall and have a great week!!<br />
<br />
love,<br />

<br />
<br />
im in the cap and have like 30 min to write.. long story short this will have to be a really short email.. anyway last monday was really good.. a less active invited us over and we taugyht him and his friend.. he is staying a hotel right now because he is from the cap.. the hotel manager overheard our talk though and wants to put a BOM in each one of the hotel rooms.. thats awesome and this week we are going to pass by with the book so he can put one in each of the 21 rooms.. that same night we had a family home evening with the fam villalobos.. it was really good and they felt the spirit really strong.. they have baptism in mind and carlos the dad told me he wanted me to come back to guat when he gets baptized.. they are great people and when i shared my testimony that night i started crying.. it was super crappy.. i have really enjoyed coban and all the members and investigators ive met its really going to be hard leaving them all behind.. also the villalobos little girl made me a little card with her name on it.. she is five and loves playing me.. im going to miss them a ton but theyll get baptized.. tues was and we had like 4 members invite us to talk to their friends.. it was really neat and the members are coming around and helping us out a lot and we really have won their confidence.. also with that we found about 5 new investigators and some have a lot of potential..alan is doing good and we taught him about the law of chastity last week.. it was a good lesson and we were open about things.. it was spiritual but funny at the same time.. he right now acutally is on his way to the cap.. for his involvement with drug trafficking he is going to be interviewed by president watts.. i hope he passes and i really think he will because he has changed a ton and is really repentant.. anyway if everything goes well he will be baptized on sat... he is great and has a ton of potential.. dunia and shayli are good.. dunia is really active now and going to institute twice a week.. anyway she is good and shaily will be baptized on sunday after church.. washington too will probably be baptized on sunday after church.. olivia is good too.. she loves church and is reading and really smart.. the elders up in polochic found her mom and got the signature.. it really was a miracle.. because the mom is sick in some villiage way up in the mountains and but because of our fasts and prayers we are good and they are going to send us the paper on weds so she can get baptized on sat or sunday.. anyway things are going great and this has been on my best changes in the mission.. hopefully all 4 of our baptisms go through.. also in march our mission leaders wife is going to get baptized.. anyway so thats really exciting.. she is good and is ready to be baptized.. anyway i still feel normal but little by little im feeling the reality im coming home.. im doing good though and hope yall have a great week.. today i have my last interview with pres and allan will be interviewed too by pres then go back to coban with us.. love yall and take care!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
well this last week flew by and it went pretty well.. ill tell you about the people we have been working with.. so allan last monday went down to the cap and was interviewed by pres.. he passed without any real problem then we taught him and i was able to baptize him on saturday.. he has changed so much and he is going to be a really good strong member and leader.. and missionary if he decides to serve a mission.. then like i told yall last week olivia the 12 year old was able to get baptized too because the missionaries found her mom and got her signature.. that was such an answer to our prayers and our fast.. it was really a miracle.. so she was baptized by my comp on sat too.. washingtons dad is not a member and ended up telling him not to get baptized so he didnt.. its really crappy though because we have worked so hard with him and it just didnt happen.. its okay though and he will get baptized later on in his life when he matures and wants too.. then with shaily.. her parents are separated too and had to go be with her dad this weekend at the last minute.. the assistants though gave us permission to baptize her without having gone 3 times to church recently.. but we will do that tomorrow and she wants me to do it so thatll be really cool to have my last baptism tomorrow.. she is doing really well and her mom is active now and going to institute even.. so thatll be a priveledge to baptize my last night here in coban.. so yeah im excited for that and all up until i get home things are just going to be crazy.. my comp has a change too and is probably going to be assistant so our area is going to be white washed.. thats kind of crappy cause now i wont be able to write him and see how our recent converts are and how are investigators are progressing.. anway so tonight and tomorrow we will just be packing and saying bye to people.. which is not fun.. cause who knows when ill see them again.. then on weds at 2 in the morning we take a bus to the cap.. i give my last testimony in the change conference.. then we eat lunch with pres and hna watts.. then we chill or something the rest of the day.. then sleeep wake up early and i come home!!! im still just starting to feel the reality of that and its going to be super exciting but really weird too.. ive been here for forever and everything down here just seems normal to me now.. anyway we went into one of the richest people in cobans house last week to teach her english and her daughter.. it was a way nicer house then ours and onlike a city block.. she had never let in missionaries before but with the help of a member we got in and she loved us.. and she has like 3 servant ladies and she treats them bad usually but after we visited her she was treating everybody nice.. and we were going help her out with english and then get the gospel into the picture but now we both are leaving and who knows how it will go now.. in tanchi on sat morning we went to do a baptismal interview and we filled up the baptismal font with buckets and then we had a not so bright idea to throw rocks in the water without washing them so that the level would rise cause we ran out of water.. haha that was not a bright idea.. haha but the guy got baptized in the end.. umm yeah things went well last week and the new elders that come in will be lucky and work with the villalobos and with jadira and probably help them to get baptized.. im really happy how this change went and we worked hard and had success in bringing people unto Christ like our purpose says.. i really love this work and im going to be sad to stop being a full time missionary but i have other things to do now like work.. hang out with yall.. have a church calling.. and look for..my exaltaion... haha thats a scary thought.. anyway i love yall and cant wait to see yall in houston gw airport at 330!!! when we get to college station we should get c and js barbq if we have time.. love yall and take care be safe and hasta super pronto!!<br />
<br />
love elder tyler justin hatch<br />

<br />
<br />
well here goes my email for the week.. hope yall had a great thanksgiving watching football and eating good food.. my week was kind of crazy but good with some of the investigators we have progressing and going to church!! here goes the list.. so like i said changes were kind of crazy.. we had 15-20 elders in our house monday and tuesday with changes.. so that was stressful and tiring but not too bad.. just lost about and hour and a half of sleep each of those nights.. umm the pics are of the temple that is in quetzaltenango guate that will be dedicated the 11 of dec.. thats really exciting because its the 2nd temple here in guat.. we didnt go to it but the youth from the coban stake did and i lended my camara to the ym president and he took those pics.. its a pretty temple and a lot better looking then the one thats already here.. not to hate on the temple or anything but it is a little older.. anyway weds.. we were in carcha all day showing the new elders around there.. there used to be six misisonaries there when i was there now there is two.. they have a lot of work to do but it was fun seeing people i know and helping show them the area and introduce them to members and investigators..thurs was good because it was a normal work day in our area.. that night we had a good lesson with fam tercero about the gospel of Jesucristo and yeah it was good and fun teaching brandon and his bros and sis because we used a lot of examples so theyd understand.. then we had an AMAZING visit with the fam villalobos.. we put a contract with them to keep the word of wisdom and they did.. the mom has stopped drinking coffee now and the daughter did too.. we still have to work on the dad because he wasnt present.. so our prize for them was bringing popcorn and a drink and watching the joseph smith movie with them.. they liked it a lot and the mom vilma after saying it was hard for her to believe that joseph smith was a prophet had tears in her eyes and learned a lot from the movie.. also the mom is reading the bom and she said little by little she is learning and understanding it.. and shes praying before she reads it.. the dad also liked the movie and is reading a little bit.. then suzy the daughter said that when we visit them she feels the spirit like she never really has before.. she said that she had cried even when reading..it was AWESOME and one of the best three lessons ive had in my mission.. then me and my comp gave our testimonies that were good and then we knelt to say the closing prayer.. suzy did it and said that she was thankful that we were there teaching them and that she thinks that we are there helping them on a tough road that will lead them to eternal happiness!!! it was really powerful and like d and c says how great is the joy if thou bringest one soul unto me.. we still havent baptized them but they are progressing a ton and went to church yesterday well the parents that is and liked it and have friends that are members.. please keep them in your prayers and we plan on teaching them again this week twice and getting them to church, our baptism, and the devotional next sunday!!! on friday i did divisions with carcha and did a baptismal interview.. it was good and i saw more families.. eugenio too has a baptismal date and we taught him and his wife.. they are doing good and its nice to see a little bit of fruits from the work i did there.. there are pics.. and we were invited to a wedding dinner.. haha we just went in and invited members to the baptism and got our food and went home to eat it.. it was a fun division though.. then sat and sunday were good.. just nothing too special.. we had a lot in church though and we have been able to help reactivate a lot of families.. also brandon and his family (tercero) were there.. so yeah he is going to get baptized on saturday and the change in that family really has been amazing and we can tell how much more happy they are now for going to church again and trying to do their part.. anyway thats about it.. if yalld keep fam villalobos in yalls prayers and fam tercero and brandon thatd be great.. other then that we have some investigators but not anybody thats progressing to well.. we still need to contact some references and hopefully some of those people are interested and ready.. thanks for all yalls prayers.. i know God answered them and that He loves us and those who still havent found the truth as we know it.. i love yall a ton and hope yall have a great week!! next week ill be in the capital again and itll be december!! love yall a ton and its freezing down here.. honestly it is super cold and raining/misting..im going to need to buy some gloves again this year.. haha love yall and take care.. yall are always in my prayers and ill remember yall in my fast this weekend!! <br />

<br />
<br />
hope yall had a good week.. we did.. here is the list of what we did.. and here are some pics.. if i forget to explain one ask me what we were doing... ok... alright so last monday night we did two fhes.. it was a lot of fun and ive really seen the importance of doing fhes here on the mission.. ive seen that the families that do it are doing well as a family and have less problems then others and really have more peace and happiness in their homes and lives.. i have a lot of good ideas that ill have to share with yall when im home and have the chace.. we did the painting face thing again last week twice.. and the families love that game and grow in their confidence in us after playing it.. tuesday we had 7 lessons.. it was awesome and everything went as planned.. i know its not the number that matters but it was good day and we felt like we really did everything we could of that day.. that night we watched the 20 min restauration video with haroldo and andrea.. they liked it a lot.. the spirit was strong and i shared my testimony and so did my comp and it was awesome.. i wish yall could of been their.. they understand the importance of reading and going to church but they just wont do it!!! its super frustrating and if they dont start progressing soon we are going to drop them for a while.. cause we can force anybody to do anything.. our lesson total last week was 28.. it was awesome teaching so much and i havent done that since i was in the capital.. our area really is changing and we are seeing more results and better ones.. on weds we spent 2 hours helping sisters loook for a new house cause they one they have right now has mold in it.. haha oh what a blessing to have 9 hermanas.. sisters.. in the zone.. something cool though was i gave one a blessing today that was realy sick and throwing up.. and fifteeen minutes later she was good and able to eat thanksgiving dinner with us.. the priesthood we hold is so powerful when we use it right and have faith.. we really can see Gods hand and miracles in our lives.. the fam villalobos is doing good but still werent able to go to church this week.. all three of them were sick.. so that was crappy but keep playing for them please.. they have the desire and want to progress and go to church and know for themselves if our church is true.. we had a lesson with the bishop and he shared his testimony and it was another really powerful lesson.. we hope they are in church next week.. they asked us about baptism along with antoher new family we found.. that was really cool.. we found 7 news last week who were really recieving but the 2nd time not so much.. i hate how people are nice but after get crap fed to them about us and the church then dont recieve us.. i kind of gave cincho to a lady in other words.. haha scolded her for not recieving us.. its ridiculous and i love being direct with people now and just telling people how it is whether it nice or not or whether they like it or not.. im here calling peole unto repentance... not just being buddy buddy with them.. hey i hit 21 months last week!! it was cool.. and a guy gave us a free meal at pollow campero.. a chicken place.. it was good then that night we ate at the rodeo a super american restaurant.. i ate a slice of cake.. tres leches.. it was good.. we are still doing divisions with the zone and its been really fun getting to better know the missionaries and there areas and investigators.. i really know everyone well know after be here in this same zone for almost 10 months since feb 2nd.. im going to finish this email on another one.. <br />
<br />
so yeah.. church once again was dissapointing.. we only had one investigator their.. that was not good but this week that is going to be our focus.. we are doing a special fast and id like yall to pray for us and the people ive mentioned in this email along with fam tercero and fam rodriguez... we found also last night a family that other elders will teach.. they are not going to any church and the lady when she was a child went to church and she said she knows its true.. i asked they dad how important his family is to him and he said everything and went on to explain how they are looking for a church.. it was awesome and once again the spirit was super strong when i testified on how families can be together forever and have more peace and joy in this life through Christ and His gospel.. the also in that appointment a girl almost gave me one of those foreign cheek kisses.. but i said no and move away.. haha it was funny but scary at the same time.. i probably got red after.. so yeah things are going good and the bishopric is supporting us a lot now and so are the young men that are starting to leave with us a lot..so yeah things are going really good and im definitey working hard and staying focused.. everything though is decorated in christmas stuff though and we ate thankgiving lunch as a zone today and then said what we were thankful for.. it was really good.. anyway i love yall a ton and yall are always in my prayers.. hope yall have a great week with school and work and with church assignments.. i love yall and am so grateful for yall and to be a member of Christs church.. He lives and loves us.. take care and follow His example everyday and do what He did and would do if He were in yalls shoes.. take care!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
ps.. this kid just got his mission call and he is leaving to chile.. we were excited for him and he helps us out a lot.. mom thats who i wrote you about.. love yall<br />

/>Hey fam, <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div>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..</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674224143410664914" border="0"

/>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..<br /><br />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.. </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN:

/>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.. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand"

/>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.. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px;

/>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</div></div>Jenn

/></a> Hey family!<br />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.. <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674222388101142066" border="0" alt=""

/>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...<br /><br /><br /><div>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.. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN:

/></div><br /><div>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.. </div><img

/>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</div></div></div>Jenn

17, 2011Dear Family, <br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div>Well here goes my list for the week... things here are well.. its been crazy though with the weather though.. raining a ton and the rivers all over guat have left their paths and are flooding places.. luckily since yesterday its kind of stopped.. we have been getting super wet though and its actually been pretty cold.. also recently their have been a lot of shakes.. or trembles or however you say that..i dont know if its the aftermath of an earthquake a while ago or something too come.. they leaders have been stressing being prepared now here for quite a while like ever since ive been on the mission..anyway the last pic is of me and my comp.. his name is elder nelson.. he is super tall and from salt lake.. he is cool and we get a long good and we are just trying to still adjust because thats how it always is with new comps.. he has 14 months in the mission and is a good missionary and really smart.. he was studying at GW before he came out to the mission... on monday night and tues i was with two other elders while i was waiting for changes and my new comp.. i was with elder fadel from my group and we went to teach a lesson in qeqchi.. it was legit hearing him speak that mayan language.. it was cool though because the lady starting crying and shared stuff that she wouldnt have shared with us.. its really cool and important that the gospel be preached to everybody in their own language.. with changes or transfers things went pretty well.. nothing too crazy happened.. it was stressful but in the end it was fine.. im just tired though because last weds and thurs we woke up early to help elders get on their way to new areas... anyway we put a baptismal date with a kid that is 9 years old.. <img

being able to baptize shortly two 9 year old kids.. please pray for them and their families.. jaime and his fam... fam herrera.. and then brandon and the fam tercero.. </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN:

/> <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>and just with get people to there bus stops and getting everything organized is just going to be crazy and a big headache that i am not looking forward too.. anyway i am going to start going down my list and i will send two emails because i have a ton of pics i want to send.. alright.. i was able to visit a few people in canalitos last monday and it was awesome!!! more then anything it was awesome seeing luis and his family..</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674218825241133106" border="0" alt=""

/>here is a pic of us.. all of them got there early to see me then they gave us food.. and luis and his sister carmen gave me a few little things so id remember them.. it was really cool seeing them and honestly almost like seeing familiy again.. i talked to other people and both luis and carmen are still going to church and doing really well in seminary.. this time there were no tears shed though but it was nice to see and talk to them and to see the difference i made in their lives by bringing them the gospel.. it was really exciting to see how well they are doing and when we come down next summer we need to see them so whoever is with me can meet them.. our meeting with president was really good.. i learned a lot and here are some pics of that too.. all the zls and then pres and his wife and the assistants.. then the next is with me and the elders from my group who i was with in the ccm... i just wanted to telll yall about my favorite part of the meeting/counsel.. we talked about prayer and how we should be conversing with God instead of just talking really fast then hanging up.. we talked about how it helps us out invidually then also how we can recieve revelation for our investigators and for our zones.. we also talked about how we need to pray with all the energy of our hearts.. which is something hard to do but that we should all work towards being able to do that someday.. read moroni 7 48.. anyway i am going to go and finish on the other email now!....so here are just some other pics.. my sweet aggie fleece thing costed me one dollar and its in perfect condition!! umm so elder rivera my last comp.. ran away on tues morming and went to the cap to find his girlfriend.. he stayed a night who knows where then got caught or turned himself in on weds.. and got sent home to belgium on sat.. he is a retard.. but i still am praying for him so he can find the things that really matter in life so that his life doesnt go completely down hill once now that he is already home without honors.. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674218662627373986"

/>anyway we had another good lesson this week with nelson and vilma.. they are reading and trying to find out the truth for themselves by prayer.. oncle again the lesson was a little difficult with hna pati the member but i definitely know the spirit was there because they themselves said they understood everything perfectly.. so definitely the spirit helped them feel things because once again she wasnt on the same page as us.. haha the family cucoy was doing good but then after two months of being sober.. the husband fell again and now has 4 days of being drunk :( please pray for him and the family.. we had a really good lesson with him on weds and he said he was starting to realize the difference between our church and the leaders and how they dedicate their lives to serving.. and just when he was coming around satan stuck his foot in there again and made him fall.. like honestly our lesson was amazing and the spirit was there and we were really straightforward about how we are called of God and the things that were happening werent by coincidence or chance.. then two days later he fell.. we have been over there twice now with him drunk and he is soooo dumb.. it is so sad to see the mom and kids around him like that.. and he gets pretty violent too.. the first night he threatened his wife with a knife and hit one of his kids hard.. the next night before he got home we prayed with them and asked God to protect them and He did! also we told hno cucoy to go to bed and not touch his family.. it really was an answer to our prayers that nothing has happened since then even though he is still drinking.. i know God answers our prayers and loves us and in always there watching over us.. anyway so please pray for them and we found out they arent married either so we have a super long ways to go before they could be baptized but itd be worth it! anyway i dont have much time left but im doing good and will find out who my new comp is on weds.. next tues we have a giant zone conference with almost 70 missionaries from three zones and we are incharge of food and hotel reservations.. i feel like a chicken with his head cut off quite frequently.. anyway i love yall a ton and thanks for everything yall do.. take care and have an awesome week.. always remember that when yall pray its a conversation and God wants to talk too.. we just need to give Him the chance and learn how to listen better! take care and thanks for everything!!love, Elder Hatch</div></div></div>Jenn

3, 2011Dear family,well i am in the capital again because tomorrow we have our meeting as zone leaders with pres and the assistants.. we left today at 2 o clock from coban and got here at six.. i am really tired but excited because after this i am going to go visit people in canalitos!! like luis and other members there so thatll be a lot of fun.. so here goes my list.. this last week was crazy.. we had 3 training sessions with the assistants and president in coban with each one of the three districs we are over.. each session lasted about 4 hours and we gave a 30 min part in each one of the sessions.. so pretty much on tues and weds we didnt work.. we were just in the church helping out with that and then we were also interviewed by president.. it went well though just tiring sitting there for a total of 12 hours.. it was fun teaching our part though about leaving commitments with people and then promising blessings .. i think we did a good job and each time we did it we got better.. we also learned about obedience the importance of companionship study finding new investigators and other stuff.. it was really good and with the part we taught and obviously studied it has helped us out a lot..the commitments we leave now are a lot more straight forward.. then we promise blessings, then share testimony and then the next time verify to see if they completed what we asked them to do.. i know that as we focus on that we will have more success and our investigators will progress faster.. so on tues night i went on a division with on the assistants.. we taught a reference that a sister gave us.. it went well but she kept trying to teach the plan of salvation while we were just trying to get to know them and follow the spirit and teach to their needs.. i have never been in such a stressful lesson.. trying not to offend the member but at the same time trying to teach the couple what they needed to hear.. i dont know how we did it but it turned out well..they said after that they were interested and are going to read the bom and pray to know if its true.. it was pretty crazy but we felt the spirit at the end and all was good.. i really saw with that the importance of following the spirit and using members only after you have prepared them so that they help with the lesson and dont destroy it! we have another lesson with them on weds night..there names are vilma and nelson..we spent thurs and fri just inviting pepole to the conference... it was good and we ended up having 6 investigators attent.. they liked it and felt the spirit.. bro cucoy went with his oldest boys and they all learned something.. this week we are going to have some really important appts with them where we have to be really straight forward so they can feel the spirit and know we arent just their by chance.. please pray for them to see and feel the difference! then sat and sunday we had conference so we only worked like 3 full days last week.. it was a pretty crazy and tiring week.. but fun and good at the same time.. i loved conference and was able to learn a lot.. i really liked how they focused on the book of mormon a lot and how it is the cornerstone of our religion.. i am trying to read it one more time before i come home.. i liked the examples with the circles and how with the bible and the bom all the doctrines are cleared up and understandable so we dont have a doubt of what we should do here on this earth.. i also like the talk about decisions and how we only have two eternal decisions.. to follow Christ or not.. we cant be in zion with one foot and in babylonia(??) with the other.. also the talk about prayer and how God answers even the smallest prayer to find 25 cents to eat some fried chicken.. haha and as always Pres uchtdorfs talk was good and it was cool that he was in texas for a bit.. then Pres monson was really good and direct in his talks and funny at the same time.. also i liked the talk about time and how we need to prepare ourselves to meet God and that we should and must use our time wisely because we will have to give a report to God on judgement day on how we used the time that He gave us in this life to progress..anyway we missed Elder Hollands preisthood talk so if somebody could get that and email it to me id be happy.. well thats pretty much about it.. this change has gone by super fast and next sunday we will know about changes.. the time is going by so fast.. i am having fun though and learning a lot.. and really trying to become a better missionary, son of God, and leader.. its hard and tiring but i know i can still do better and bring more souls to Christ.. please pray for he familly tercero this week so that they can come to church and that we can help brandon learn the lessons and get baptized this month.. also pray that we can find new families to teach.. well i have some pics but wont be able to send them until next week.. well i love yall a ton..take care and yall are always in my prayers too! i still have 10 minutes left so write me back if yall have time!love,elder hatchJenn

/></a> Hey family!here is me eating some good ol chili i bought on a piece of bread.. i am going to do my list and news again but in two emails.. if yall are on or have questions i still have 15 min so yall can write me! so here it goes.. also the next pic is us and our missionary mom in our area.. she washes my clothes and gives us food a lot and takes care of us.. her daughter left today to the las vegas nevada mission.. the other pics are of me and semuc champey again.. <br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR:

/>we went there today with the zone and it was fun but stressful organzing it and yeah its fun being a leader but stressful too.. and we got back late so thats why im writing now instead of earlier.. anyway umm those kids are from my group and we have 5 up because thats how many months we have left.. and no that wasnt my idea.. okk last monday a fam gave us 3 corn tortillas each with salt on them.. they werent very good but then i asked them for a drink and they threw two uncooked tortillas in a pitcher and stirred it around and then put a little sugar in it and gave it to us.. let me tell yall it was not good.. oh the nasty drinks of this country and of qeqchis.... we found a less active fam this week and they have a kid that turns 9 this sat.. so hopefullly we will baptize him next month.. thatll be really exciting and they went to church yesterday even the parents and they hadnt been for a year.. it was super exciting and they want to go to church now every sunday.. so yeah and they have 4 kids that are really cute and that want to go to church and be in primary cause they like it a lot!! please pray for them that theyll be able to meet their goals and desires.. they are familia tercero..<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>also although ive only been here a few weeks i feel like i really have been blessed with having a light about me with the people.. they seem to open up to me and my comp..like pres prior blessed me with when i was set apart.. its been cool to go back and study what he blessed me with and how its all come to pass.. also we did division twice again last week.. it was fun and also ive realized not to judge.. because i went with a kid from my group and when i started the mission i thought he was really weird. but we did divisions and i really had fun and i am definitely not such a punk now and i like talking to who ever now even if they arent sportsy like i am.. also we sometimes share a movie with the investigators thats called only a stone cut out.. or only a stonecutter.. it talks about a temple worker who helped with inscribing things into the temple in salt lake like holiness to the Lord.. yall should watch it or look for it because it talks a lot about sacrificies we should make and how we should not just complete with our callings but magnify them all the time! id reccomend it.. its also been raining a ton and like every afternoon.. two times this last week i got almost completely soaked.. its better then heat but not when it rains so hard that you get soaked! </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674217607513541682" border="0" alt=""

/> so with the fam cucoy.. we had a really good lesson with them about family: a proc to the world.. it was really and thats exactly what they needed they told us.. but the thing is they think its almost like luck or coincidence that we always share exactly what they need..they still have realized the importance of our message.. they didnt go to church yesterday.. but we have a really good lesson plan to teach them tonight about getting an answer.. we thought really hard the other day and couldnt think of what to teach them.. then i told my comp lets pray and see what God wants.. so we did and after about 20 seconds.. we figured out what we were going to do.. it was really cool and just another little thing that shows me that God answers prayers and fast too and that He really cares about His children.. both their physical and spiritual needs.. also its been crazy to see how hard satan is working against that family.. friends neighbors church members.. he doesnt want them to be members of Christs church..<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674217286605429698" border="0"

/>yesterday though we had 3 or 4 other less active families come that i hadnt told yall about the week before.. it was really cool and we taught them again a lot this week but we are seeing results and changes in them.. and like mom you said.. leave the 99 and look for the lost 1! ive found a lot of joy working with inactives in my mission because its just as important that they go back to church just like investigators getting baptized.. well thats about it.. the zone is doing well and we had fun today.. this month we have had more then 10 baptisms in the zone which is really good.. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674216947949110370" border="0" alt=""

/> our missionaries are good and they are working hard and being obedient for the most part as we know.. anyway i love yall a ton and get ready for conference itll be great! and try to get to all 5 sessions because they are important and the words we hear arent mans words but Gods and we need to hear them to know what we can do to change and become better and prepare ourselves for things to come! love yall and take care!elder hatch</div></div></div>Jenn Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05690719991587960497noreply@blogger.com0
