Elder Austin Hatch: July 22, 2008

Hey mom,How did this last week go? How much longer are you going to stay at Grandmas? This last week was pretty good. We are teaching a number of investigators but no one has really stepped out that is ready for baptism. We are still waiting and looking. Also we are teaching a number of less actives. This last sunday it just happend to be the Sunday that the President, Relief Society President, and the Priest quorum President, and the music director didnt come. So NICE! My companion and I had to run everything. Including teaching the classes that we hadnt prepared for, giving talks, directing the music, and presiding over the meeting. So I dont want to hear that Bro. Matteson asked you to give a talk and you told him no. Hahaha. It was pretty crazy sunday though and went really well fortunately. By the way this week my companion and I cooked FAJITAS. It was the first time in 8 months that Ive eaten mexican food. We made homemade salsa and everything. I have not eaten anything spicey for 8 months either. The people here hate spicey food and dont eat anything close to mexican food. It turned out really good though. Well im doing good mom. Love you and all the family.

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
