Mother and Father,

Well, I hope you had a fun time on your travels. I think one thing I miss a lot is driving. The longest drive I can do is from here to the temple (2 hours). So that is not too fun. Plus, I am always worrying about miles, and that is no fun at all. My days in the mission are short, so I think I will live.

Well, only two of your children are not married and don't have kids. I think that makes Symantha and I the coolest. What do you think? I would bet if you ask her, she will agree.

Transfers have come and gone and I am still up here in Ferndale 2nd ward with Elder Eaton. There will be no change in areas for at least six more weeks. Can you believe that in three weeks from tomorrow I will be 18 months out? Wow!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe that I am now one of the old missionaries. Wow! I feel like N8 old.

Well, what did you think of conference? Who was your favorite speaker? Mine had to be Elder Bednar. He totally put members in their place and was, like, you need to find people to teach for the missionaries. And he told them how they should be praying. We watched conference as a Zone and when that was said, our whole Zone pumped their fists in approval. It was funny.

It snowed up here last week so that was fun to walk around in. Well, I guess I will talk to you all later. Have fun riding your bicycle in the sun, because it is still raining here.

Elder Alan Hatch, II
Post Script: Will anyone be there for Mother's Day?
