Elder Austin Hatch: December 27, 2007

Hey mom, Merry couple days after Christmas. It was great here. Lots of good music renditions and we heard from Elder L. Tom Perry. Thanks for all the stuff you sent me. I had tons of candy on Christmas. We watch Mr. Kruegers Christmas and had lots of free time and stuff. We took a walk up to the temple and I just had fun being with my friends in the service. We got a good lunch and a sack dinner, haha. It was all good though. We had all the missionaries, 2000+ decked out with chimes. We all were lead and played carols with the chimes just like in primary. But with 2000 it was pretty crazy. So how did it go for you? What did everyone do? Love you mom

EVERY MEMBER A MISSIONARY How to be Missionary Minded

President John Taylor;"Our duty is to preach the gospel to all men.....This is what God expects of us"President Brigham Young;"There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That Mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life."
1)Smile, Shake hands and Speak to those who are new or strangers in meetings.
2)Make a new convert feel wanted, welcomed and a friend.
3)Live as an example to those around you.
4)Invite the Missionaries to your home
