News from Zapata, TX Feb. 9, 2015

Dad, We are working hard out here for sure. Ive never really been this tired before. There just isnt enough time in the day to do what we need to do. Especially because we have to use two hours every other day to go to meetings. We live in the middle of nowhere. again. But this sunday was really good. we were bold with a few people and now we are going to have a baptism this next sunday if it all goes well. Learning alot about confidence and faith. If you want something its going to happen. its as simple as that. just have to want it bad enough. I have been studying the story of Joseph of Egypt and how he had a good attitude even through all of the hard times. He proved that attitude is a choice and because he chose to have a good one the lord multiplied his blessings upon not only him but those around him. He passed through the refiners fire and came out something more pure and a powerful tool in the hands of the lord to the saving of many lives and the influence he was able to have on an entire nation. I love you guys and so far im doing just fine. Some things are starting to get worn out but so far I dont need anything but i will let you know. thank you for all you do. Love Elder Hatfield
