Hola! Well this week has been pretty good. I will be staying in this area for another transfer, although Elder Flint will be leaving, so I'll get a new companion tomorrow. So I still have not gotten your package, which is sad, but I'm ok for now haha. Anyways, we do have some great plans this thursday. We have dinner with the Moses Family, and then we will go straight to the Thomas Family (our branch president) for round two. I cant decide if Im looking forward to two thanksgiving dinners or not, but it will be lots of fun, and we have some investigators coming too! Speaking of that, we had 8 investigators at the spanish branch this sunday, which was unbelievable! I can't believe how much the work in the spanish branch is picking up! It's Awesome! We also had a great lesson with Natalia this week, and she is definitely getting baptized on December first. I am so excited to see this little branch grow so much, and I am definitely excited to be here another transfer.
     So guess who I saw last monday? I ran into Chris and Kim in a parking lot and we talked for a little bit. They actually do live in my area, but just for spanish, so that stinks. It was pretty weird seeing family out here.
     So I will stay in this area for at least Christmas and new years eve. Next transfers are January 1st, so it will be really fun to be here for the holidays. I hope I get a good companion! My last few have been great, so I hope it continues! Also, We had a zone conference this week with Elder Paul V. Johnson of the seventy. It was fun, and I found out that he is from Sandy too! Yay for Sandy!
     I had a pretty cool experience this week. I was in branch council and we were talking about stuff, and I realized I was speaking spanish without even thinking about it! Yaya! I am feeling pretty comfortable with most of spanish now, which makes me happy.
     Anyways, I heard about hostess too. I cried myself to sleep two nights in a row. Not really, but I was very sad. Well, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and remember to be thankful for all of the wonderful things that we have! I love you all so much! Sincerely, Elder Hatch
