Hello! Haha I was just telling my companion that my family forgot to email me, and then your email popped up. Just in time! So some big news for next transfer! I will be staying here in Santa Fe, but I also got called this week to be district leader here! Most of the district thats already here will be leaving, so that means were getting a lot of new missionaries here. Which will be exciting. I'm still not sure what I think about being district leader here, but I'm pretty excited! This last week was pretty slow because it was Elder Acosta's last week, and everybody seemed to be on vacation to Mexico. But we still had some good visits. We have been working a lot recently on building unity and trust in the branch. There have been some issues, and a lot of people have gotten offended and stopped coming. Which is frustrating, but it gives us a great opportunity to help them out. We Have a few good ideas, but I would love to hear any opinions that you guys have! I'm am really excited for this next transfer though! I've got some big plans for this area, so I hope I get a companion who wants to work a ton. We also have a bunch of new missionaries coming in this transfer. I think it's gonna be 6 new elders, and 19 new sisters. That's kind of been the trend lately. We have a LOT more sister missionaries here. In fact, my new district will probably be mostly sisters this transfer. Which will be interesting. So anyways, Elder Acosta leaves tomorrow back for California, and then I'll get my new comp. I'll make sure to tell you all about it next week! Speaking of next week, I hope you have a blast in Europe! I'm still jealous, but I hope you have a ton of fun! Send me some pictures! Some of miranda's graduation too! I still can't believe that my little sister is already graduated from high school! Congrats Sis! I miss you guys so much! Till next week, -Elder Hatch

PS I got that letter from Miranda and the other young women. Tell them thanks for me!
