Sa maigsing panahon na nandito si Hatfield, nakipagkita siya sa ilang mga dating teammates sa hardcourt.

"My former teammates were both happy and shocked by the changes they saw in me. But they are willing to support the many projects that our missionary group would be doing here in the country.

"They helped out when we donated and distributed relief goods to the people of Pasig City who were victims of the typhoon Ondoy. They also said to just give them a call and they will help us out in other charity projects, which I really appreciated a lot. It's a really big help and many people will benefit from their unselfish actions."

HAPPY FOR RUFA MAE. Game na ngayon si Hatfield na mapag-usapan ang kanyang personal na buhay noon. Dati ay todo-iwas siya kapag iyon na ang napag-uusapan.  Nang tanungin nga namin siya kung nagkita na sila ng ex-girlfriend na si Rufa Mae Quinto, ang sagot niya ay matagal na raw silang hindi nagkikita at nagkakausap.

"Since I left in 2005, I never had a chance to talk or even see her. That was the time when things were really getting crazy and we both wanted our own space. So after we broke up, we never communicated. I don't know why but I guess it was for the better. I am praying that we are still friends after all that happened.

"Rufa Mae is a great and hardworking girl. She loves her family and would do anything to keep them safe and happy. Someone told me that she's also attending a Bible group. Well, good for her and I am happy for that news. At least, she doesn't forget to thank the Lord for all the blessings that comes her way."

Napangiti si Hatfield nang sabihin naming engaged na si Rufa Mae at may planong mag-settle down sa U.S. next year.

"That's great news!" ngiti niya. "I didn't know that, so I really must congratulate her because things are really going great for her. She has her showbiz career, a great relationship with the Lord and now, she's engaged to be married.

"Really, I am happy for what Rufa Mae is achieving now. I pray that she takes good care of all these blessings and never forgets to thank the Lord for all of these. I wish her good luck in everything and that she continues to feed on the words of God for spiritual guidance in her life," pagtatapos ni missionary Rudy Hatfield.
