Dear Family, I'm glad you all had a good thanksgiving. This week was pretty good, but not a whole lot of news to report. We had a great Thanksgiving. I ate the most I think I have ever eaten in my whole life. We ended up having four dinners right in a row, with everybody expecting us to pig out. It was all very delicious, but too much! I almost threw up more than once. Hahaha, but there's no refusing food from Mexicans. It doesn't happen. Anyways, we are actually emailing pretty late today, so I only have a couple more minutes. As far as missionary work goes, it was ok this week. We had some great visits this week, and then nobody showed up to church! Pretty frustrating honestly, but we'll keep working with them. Some of them did have good excuses because of the holidays, but still. Also, I'm starting to get a little antsy without any christmas music. Hahaha No worries, but please send a lot! Also, Grammy is definitely in my prayers. I really hope she can recover quickly! And I am DEFINITELY going to ask about seeing them before I can go home. That would be amazing. Well, I have to go now, but I hope you all have a wonderful week! I'll try to send some fotos! -Elder Hatch
