Mother's Day Plus 3

Dear Family,

Well there isn't much to report about from the last two days although I will try to make it interesting, seeing that we talked only a few days ago.

So on Monday we had three appointments. One with an investigator named Niccola who is a law student. He is making progress slowly but surely. He really understands the concepts except for the fact of why it is important that there is a prophet on the earth today with the authority from God. But slowly that will come.

Then we had a less-active lesson with a woman whose father is basically dying. He has a heart condition that prevents her from leaving the house for more than about a half hour at the max. She was less active before and kind of lived a riotous life before, so it is hard for her because she wants to come back to church, but at the moment she can't leave the house. She is great and will come back to full activity soon.

Then we went to the Amendola house to teach some post-baptismal lessons. I am really proud of that family. Two weeks ago in church, the gospel principles lesson was on missionary work. We taught that lesson and there is a list of ideas of how members can do missionary work. We invited them to pick one and do it. They have all done something. The daughter has her teacher at school and one of her friends asking her questions about the Book of Mormon and our religion. It is really exciting to see a family go from black to white and live the gospel with all of their hearts.

So that was Monday.

Then yesterday we did publicity for our English class trying to get some more students. I think what we did will benefit us. Then we had another new member lesson. She is doing really well. Better than I thought. She doesn't come to church as often as she should, but she recognizes it and wants to do better. She accepted the challenge to read the Book of Mormon in three months. It will benefit her exponentially.

Sounds like everyone at home is doing well. That is good. Lots of things to keep you all busy. I like busy life. It does make one tired but it is good. Because as we all know, "the problem with doing nothing is that you can't stop and rest when you get tired." Thanks for that one Grandpa!

Well that is about it for me this week. I love you all! Thanks for your prayers and love!

Love,
Anziano Hatch
