Hello!    Well It was A pretty good week for me her in ABQ! Sadly, I was actually a little sick earlier in the week, but I felt better by wednesday. I actually got your package on tuesday and waited all the way until tuesday night to open it! I loved it so much! The blanket was perfect, and has kept me very warm at night, The cookies and candies were great, I also loved that BYU tie as well and have worn it more than once since. My favorite part was the recorder though, It was amazing to be able to hear you guys, and I have already started recording some stuff back, and hopefully I'll send it to you in just a few days. There was something that I thought was hilarious about that though, but youll have to wait until you get it back to find out! I had a great birthday though, we had a really nice dinner with an extremely wealthy member family, so I enjoyed it. Oh and I am buying a pumpkin today so that I can use that other present! The douglasses bought me a new pillow for my birthday, so I have slept very well. That Is really cool that I have another cousin! and so close to my birthday too! I am almost exactly 20 years older than her. Does it make you feel old to think you have a 20 year old son? I hope it does, because it makes me feel old.
      So great news with Cedrick! hes getting baptized this saturday! Yaya! I am so excited! His grandparents and parents are coming down from colorado to see! His grandpa will be baptizing him. He is definitely one of the most excited converts I have ever seen! His girlfriend Britney is also making a lot of progress, and hopefully she will get baptized soon! He has really inspired me with how much faith he has to be doing all that he is doing. Haha I feel kind of bad for him though because he had to work traffic at the balloon fiesta, since hes a newer cop, so he woke up at like two all last week. So my favorite talk at conference was from Elder Uchtdorf. I loved when he said "Let us resolve to be happy regardless of the circumstances that we are in" So true! That is my new motto. I also loved president Monson's talk in Priesthood session. And when david A Bednar said "Any honest seeker of truth can obtain a testimony". That is definitely something I have seen on my mission. Anyways The work here is definitely improving. Especially becuase we just got an awesome spanish refferal right now!
     So I hope you guys all have a great week, and I want Miranda to know that I am praying and fasting for her. Hardcore. I wish her luck! But congratulations to Brian and Audrey! you will have to send me pictures! I love you all so much and I hope you are happy! Until next Week! -Elder Hatch
