Elder Jacob Hatch: 1-27-12 Letter

Goingt o ABQ with Hermana Allen and Hermana Rathfon

Dear family,

Well, it’s been two weeks here at the MTC and I’m still here, so that’s probably a good thing. As I said before, I think I’ll stick to letters until I get out to the field where there aren’t lines for the computers. I loved the package that you guys sent me. The cookies were a big hit with my district. I actually let one of my roommates (who left for Colorado on Monday) use the box you sent me so I guess you’ll just have to send another package sometime haha.

Let’s see…so yes, mom, my companion is going to ABQ as well. I have gotten mail from you guys, grandpa, the Isaacsons, and most of the people from my fhe group @ BYU, so I’m doing pretty good! I think I will try to write Grammy and Papa soon if I have time as well. Make sure to tell Bro. Isaccson I really appreciated his letter too. I think I’m good on addresses, I’ll just wait for people to write me for now. We did actually get a few inches of snow, but a lot of it has melted. I don’t think I’ll need temple bag either. That’s so cool that Rich and Jen are trying to adopt again! Wish them the best of luck from me!

It’s going so well here! Sleeping hasn’t been a problem, even though I’ve had a bit of a cold the past couple of days. It was sad to hear BYU lost that game, hopefully Miranda wasn’t too distraught. Dad, I think that’s pretty cool that Neal wants to learn Spanish! Tell him it’s super easy! Actually whenever we get discouraged about Spanish, we walk over a few classrooms to where they are learning Korean, and we feel better.

I included some pictures in this letter, hopefully they will satisfy mom! You querio saber que yo amo ustedes y falto muy mucho. No puede aguardar sus proxima carta! I’m betting thats not totally correct, but I did it without looking anything up so there! Anyways, I better go. Adios!
