Wow! I can't believe how much is going on at home! thats crazy! so, sorry that this is a day late, but this week is really crazy for me. Yesterday was temple day which was awesome! It was great to get to go there again and feel that spirit. I did see Taj there but hes not in my zone right now. So today is our PDay! Then thursday is Zone Conference which will also be great. Then Friday, all of the missionaries in the mission are going to El Paso! Because Saturday morning we are having a mission conference with Elder D Todd Christofferson! We are all very excited about that. It will be really cool to see what he has to say to our mission. So anyways, things are going great here in abq. The weather is starting to feel amazing! I think biking is actually really fun when the weather is this nice. It's a little hard in this area though, because about 90% of the work is with the English ward... there are a little less than 40 people in the spanish branch, and it's really hard to find spanish investigators here in this super nice part of town. There are some HUGE houses in our area. We are doing really well in the English ward though. We have this great new investigator named Cedric, I dont remember if I told you about him yet, and also an older guy named Ernest, and then four people from the Rivera family that all have baptismal dates right now! They are all really awesome people and It's amazing to be working with all of them! Me and my new companion Elder Flint actually get along awesome! We actually have a lot in common, and we work together pretty well. He is actually probably my favorite companion so far! He has been out for a little over a year, so he's not too much older than me in the mission. It's funny because he is actually the one who trained Elder LaMunyon my old MTC companion. Small world haha. But ya, I'm having a great time here. Oh, and I did get Alice's wedding announcement! That's so great! Make sure to tell her, and my future uncle Ben congratulations for me! I wish them the best! I forgot that it was Adam's birthday too! I will just have to wright to him again. Well, that's about all I have today because I don't have quite as much time, but I wish you all good luck with all your crazy activities! -Elder Hatch
