Howdy!!
Well
it was really sad that somehow someone got mixed up on the Rockies game and
they didn't even play on saturday, so instead of that we went to Rodizio Grill
as a group of missionaries. We ate so much it was disgusting. Idk why but we
decided to try and break a record as a group as to how much we eat. Lets just
say I literally gained six pounds yesterday. Talk about unhealthy. It was fun
though. i'm so happy to hear you closed on the house finally. I'm sorry it was
such a struggle. Sometimes I wonder why things happen the way they do. Maybe
someday you'll figure out why it did. That's just too bad that Dad had such a
trouble w/ Swiss Days. I've still never been there and would like to join
sometime.lol, but it sounds like I didn't miss much. I hope it didn't hurt
anything too much and everything is still going well for the business and
everything else in your lives. That's cool that that lady sent you an email.
Her daughter was a recent convert in the North mission who got ahold of us to
help her mom and the mom had never dealt w/ missionaries. She wanted to pay us
and do something, and I thought of how she could email you, so I'm happy she
got that chance. I'm sure one day she will embrace the Gospel as her daughter
continues to share it w/ her. And sister Cottrell is awesome! I'm glad you got
to talk to her. She is such a great person, who has a great love for this
Gospel herself, that's for sure.
We
found three new investigators this week!
I
love my mission so much! I'm grateful you and Dad always showed me the way and
pointed me here. I will be forever blessed b/c of your doing that. We met with
Elder Robins again last wednesday for Leadership training and it was quite an
experience. This morning when we were on conference calls w/ Pres. Maynes he
said in meeting w/ Elder Robins he was told that, " I do not get to train
the way I have w/ your missionaries, when I go to other missions b/c it is a
lot on being obedient. This mission though is obedient." That was so cool
to hear. It just motivates us to try and be better and better. Next week I'll
have to try and remember some of my notes and I'll tell you a little more about
it. Well the work is moving forward. I love it so much and am grateful all is
well w/ you guys. I love you, and have a great week
This
Gospel is wonderful. May God continue to pour out his blessing upon ya'll. I
love you!!!! Elder Hatfield
