Sister Kirsten Hatch: It's finally Summer!

May 25,2015

So this week it finally got hot!!! But it really wasn't super hot almost to the 90s (in Fahrenheit) and I got sunburned while tracting and I put on sunscreen! The sun is just completely draining all my energy so it is getting harder and harder to wake up in the morning... I miss the winter but everyone keeps saying that summer only lasts for about three months so it will be over soon enough:) Canada is really the place for me! I don't know how I survived Arizona my whole life...

Saturday is the big day!!!! I can't wait for the baptism!! Brother Topley is so ready too!! He told us that he was really wanting to know if this was the right decision he was making and so he had been praying. Then one night he had a dream where a the scripture 1 John 1:7 was repeated 4 times and so he looked it up and it says "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." It is just so amazing how the Lord works miracles and he had even said that he can never remember his dreams so it was pretty amazing!!

We have been doing a lot of tracting lately but we have had so many little miracles happen each time we tract. So we tracted around one of our ward missionaries home the other day because she had given us a couple referrals. Her daughter is less active and her boyfriend apparently is more interested in the gospel than she is but she is preventing him from learning more because she doesn't want him to. But we went to his house and gave him a BOM and she was so angry when she found out! Then a couple days later we went back to that area to finish tracting and we went to this random house neither the boyfriends or hers and they were both there!! It was a little awkward because we were like oh hi again and she was like you have met him?? But we hope that we will be able to see her again and talk with her more. Maybe her heart will soften over time if she sees that her boyfriend truly is interested in learning more and that will help her to want to come back...

We also have gotten a few more potentials this week and possibly another new investigator so things are really happening here!! Mostly all of it has ended up being in second ward but hey we'll take it!! We also almost got our car taken away this week because they thought we had gone over our allotted kilometers for the month but they thought we had 1000 and we actually have 1500. So I pretty much had a hard attack because there is no way we could walk to crossfield . It takes 15 minutes to drive there and so we would of just not have been able to go to crossfield... But it got all sorted out. Next month though our kilometers have been lowered to 1000 so we will have to start walking more. But it's good for me:) I am just afraid I am going to get super sunburned.

The mission is amazing!!! I am having so much fun with Sister Gleason and we are finally having success!!!!! Happy days!!! I love you guys have a great week!

Love,

Sister Hatch
