Feliz Navidad!
I don't know about everybody back home, but I'm sure feeling the Christmas spirit this week. Even if it did almost hit 70 today. Haha it just doesn't want to be winter here yet. That's ok, I'll just have a shock when I come home I guess. Anyways, I actually just had my departing interview with President Miller. It was really good. He's a great guy and he gave me some great advice. I also asked about meeting up with family before I leave Albuquerque, and he said yes! So, on that tuesday the 7th, if the Sants (anybody who wants to) can pick me up at 10 am at the mission home (5601 dogwood trail NE) I'm all theirs until one oclock which is when we are going to the temple I think. I am so excited to see everybody again! Also, I can't believe you got the travel plans already! What time do I get back? Don't worry though, I'm trying really hard not to think about it too much. I'll be honest, I'm not doing so great at it, but I'm trying. Haha, it helps that the work is still doing pretty well here. We have a ton of families that we're teaching. The only problem is that we STILL can't get them to come to church. I'm still really hoping for a baptism before I go, but these people really have to come to church first. We do have our Christmas party this Saturday, so we hope to at least get some people to that. Speaking of Christmas, we should be having a pretty good one here. We already have some dinners set up, and we should have somebody to skype with as well. I'll let you know what time next week! My companion is super spoiled with mail right now. Which means that I have been too. Lots of junk food and stuff. In the last week, he has gotten 12 packages and 22 letters. Don't worry, I'm not hinting that I need more mail, (I am coming home soon) but I just thought it would be worth mentioning how ridiculous he is. Anyways, we had a great Zone conference yesterday in El Paso. We were visited by Elder Foster from the seventy. I also got a letter from Grandma and Grandpa Hatch saying he visited them a couple of weeks ago too, so I thought that was pretty cool. We talked a lot about working with the other members of the church to help spread the gospel. Then they served us a large Christmasy lunch. I also got to see some of my friends that are going home with me. Overall it was a great experience. Hmm, I still have some more time, but I'm really not sure what else to write. I'll probably have tons of stories for you in a few weeks though! So I guess that's it for now, but I hope you all have a great week in the cold! I miss you! Y FELIZ NAVIDAD! -Elder Hatch
