Elder Austin Hatch: August 4, 2009

Hi Mom,Are you driving back from Arizona? Hope you and sammy girl make it back safe and fast. Are you going to beat my record of 12 and a half? Hhaha. I dont think dad was too happy about that one. Well all is well here. Hope you like the pics. We have some great people getting ready to be baptized. 2 young women the 15th. A young man named Ariel that was a reference from a member the 22nd. Two 25 year olds that are living together that are not married are going to get married the 20th and then baptized the 22nd! We are so excited for them because we´ve been pushing them for this and we went 3 times with them to set a marriage date in the public offices. For whatever reasons we couldnt the first two attempts, but 3rd times a charm. We also have 3 girls from a family that should also be getting baptized the 22nd. Alls well here. My comp is a great guy. We made pancakes this morning that were good. Not like yours and dads but good. We really need a good pancake griddle here. The pan over the stove is just not the same. The middle is always raw. Thats what people say about me. Hhaha. Well Mom I love you and hope that you get back home safe.

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
