Dad and Mom,

I have some weird news. I am getting midnighted (I am getting transferred again, only 2 weeks into the normal transfer period). That means I will have a new address, so tell everyone via email or grandmasweb that I have a new address and not to send mail to 3333 164th Street... ok? Tell them to send it to the mission home until they hear from me. Thanks.

[Mission Home Address:
PO Box 13390
Mill Creek, WA 98082]

I can't believe I'm getting midnighted. It is so crazy. Three areas in 1½ months. That has to be some kind of record. I have heard of one missionary who only served in three areas his whole mission. I am a little worried and nervous because I was just learning my way around Lynnwood. But, the Lord has a better place for me, it sounds like.

The whole mission is starting a Book of Mormon reading program. It starts the 15th of January and ends the 24th of March. If any one would like to read along, they are welcome to do so.

Well, I am a little reluctant to be transferred because we had a lot of potential here. We probably would have had 3+ baptisms shortly, because there is some low hanging fruit (people ready to be baptized).

I am doing ok. I miss home, my friends, my job, and everything, but I like being out here too. I am getting to the point where I am feeling more confident about being out here, but I still miss home. It sure is hard moving from place to place in a short amount of time. But, it is inspired of God, so I am not too worried about it.

I hope all is well with you and your are doing good, like no more broken ribs (I hope).

I love you and miss you.
Elder Hatch
