hey dad, I'm going to send my email to you this week to make sure that everyone gets it, cause mom is off in europe or somthing. Anyways, to start off, I want to say happy fathers day!!!! I have a card I'm going to send today, but I just wanted to say thanks for all you do for me! I'm glad that this is the last fathers day that I can't tell you personally. So it sounds like you guys are having an awesome summer! I am definitely jealous of all the hikes, campouts and foreign vacations that are going on without me. But thats ok, I have had an amazing week! I got my new companion on tuesday. His name is Elder Dorado. He is from LA, and he's a native spanish speaker, so that's been great. He's been out for about ten months I think, so he already has some experiance. Anyways, we've just been tearing it up here in Santa Fe! We have found like five or six new families to teach, and the work is starting to pick up a lot. We are still struggling a little bit with the branch, but I feel like they are improving a little. sorry I really don't have much time today, I already have to get going, but things are going great here! Plus district leader hasn't been too bad either. -Elder Hatch
