11 Months!

October 19, 2015

got the birthday package!!!! Thank you so much!! Who knew that oreos could taste so good?? There is definitely a difference in Canadian and American oreos! And thank you for the gift card! I don't know if it will work in the store we have here because it isn't technically a Downeast Basics store, it just sells the same stuff but I will give it a try! You guys are the best!! And Hailey, that card was very creative!

So this week was kind of sad because we started to drop some of our investigators... We decided to drop Valerie and possibly Heidi this week because they just aren't progressing at all and have no motivation to read or pray. We have gone through all the lessons with them so unless they start doing these things on their own there isn't much more we can do for them:( It is hard letting investigators go but we can only do so much for someone and then they have to act on it. 

But even though we have let some investigators go we continue to gain more! Missionary month has ended in Queensland ward but we have definitely seen lots of blessings come from the prayers and fasting of the members in the ward!! We have had SO much success this month!! I know that has mostly come from Missionary month:) 

We had a ward talent show on Saturday and we invited a man that we met on the street to come and display his 3-D printer and it was a huge hit!!! And he said we could come this week and teach him!!! Double whammy! He is super awesome!! And the members were so great in including him!

And the Nelson's, the family that just got sealed in the temple, their son is not a member so we have been working with him as well! We usually go and visit with the family every Thursday night and this week was the first week he sat and talked with us the whole time!! And he didn't get on his phone when we shared a scripture!! Things are happening with him!! But he is YSA age so if he is going to be taught we will have to pass him off to the Elders... :(

It has been a great week though!!! And I did skype Dr. Howard. He said I didn't need to go to the eye doctor until I get home. Anyway, things are going good!!! I love you guys!!!:)

Love,

Sister Hatch

"For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.

 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation." (2 Nephi 26:23-24)

Excuse my messy hairdo, it was a long day!

Happy Birthday Sister Hatch
