Letter #47- Who Would've Thought

November 17, 2014

Everyone,
A year ago today I was dropped off at the mtc by my sister and dearest
mother! Being a missionary I have definitely learned a ton and still
have much to learn! So this week we kept busy helping members know
about a facebook event that we are having going on right now until
thanksgiving, it's where you will post a one minute video explaining
who you are and why you are grateful to be a mormon and then you
challenge three other people why they are grateful to be mormon
conclude with I'm thankful to be a mormon and then post it on line
with the hash tags #thankfultobeamormon #sunvalleyward! I would love
to see those videos! Glad you all enjoyed the temple dedication! We
met up Stephanie our investigator and talked with her! Keep up the
awesome work you all do! Love you all!

Letter #46- Being a Missionary

November 10, 2014

Everyone,
Being a missionary there are a lot of things we do and learn. Cleaning cars, keeping well on miles. Being feed well by members. Meetings with
mission president, gain some really good insights from him and his
wife. Helping at relief society craft day activies. Talk with elderly
ladies that just make me laugh and smile. Going to a high priest group
social bonfire and talking with all the members. Of course being a
missionary sharing the love and joy that Jesus Christ himself had
showed while here on earth is what I love most about being a
missionary!
With love,
Sister-Hatch

Letter #45- Your in Orange Park when...

November 3rd, 2014

Everyone,

So Sister Davidson is my companion! She loves to play the flute! Awesome with meeting people. Has six more weeks left of her mission but she is going to love it here in Orange park! She is from California. I just already have a ton of things to say about her. I failed to mention in my last letter but the thing I loved most about sister Blatter was that she would say "lets go save Orange Park!" and so that praise has been stuck with me ever since! Sister Davidson and I are Now going to go save Orange Park! We have already seen so many mighty miracles, catching up with less active and recent converts. Had a lesson with a part member family and invited the two boys to baptism and they said yes! Seen our investigators and had awesome lessons with them. Had an opportunity in Relief society to share what we call " missionary thoughts" which went really well! Sister Davidson is also awesome even if we run into awkward moments like when we went to sticky note a less actives doors and it wasn't closed all the way, dog starts barking and her son comes to the door or when the neighbors of a less active come over and asks what your doing after having left a sticky note for them. But among those awkward moments there were some pretty neat moments like going to check up on a sister that our bishop asked us to check up on and her husband invited us to come see a bald eagle in his back yard and while we were there he had caught a huge cat fish. We went to check up on an investigator and that was a great visit. There is truly great blessings in the work of the lord. I love you all!

With Love,

Sister Hatch
