Stake Conference A Letter To Elder Hawley 10/23/16

Hi Elder, How have you been? Was your week more positive than the last week? How has the weather been there? Any cooler? Utah's weather has been the perfect Fall weather. Perfect 70's during the day and cool at night. All the leaves are falling. Our big tree in the backyard has lost all of its leaves so we have been raking and raking. It was a short week for school as it was UEA weekend. Megan, Malia, Miles, and Mom went to Gardner Village (see pictures) on Friday and did a treasure hunt with clues to find witches. We ate at Cup Bop and thought of you. Afterwards we went to a movie and saw Storks. It was a fun-filled day.

We had stake conference over the weekend. It was pretty awesome. Miles got to shake an area seventy's hand and told him he had a big brother serving a mission in Mexico. The area seventy (we don't know how to spell his name) spoke about the Abrahamic covenant. The Lord promised Abraham he would bless all the human family through Abraham's seed. That's why we are here in this place at this time. To this purpose we were born. Mitch, you are a son of God. It is his work. Do your best, that is your offering then let him bless the people of Mexico through you. It is fulfilling the covenant he made with Abraham. This is why you have the priesthood. In Nephi 14:14 it talks about the last days and the war between good and evil. We are outnumbered but we have God on our side. In the end God will be victorious. It's just whether or not we are going to have a part in the victory. President Hill talked about the difference between knowing "about" Christ and knowing Christ. Megan really liked his talk. Megan says that you are doing good, keep it up, and she loves and really misses you. She has been busy working at the ranch for the Fall Festival. She has been dating a guy named Tyson. Malia is looking forward to this week and her orchestra concert Wednesday. She has been practicing on Smart Music. Haha good memories, huh? Miles pulled his loose tooth out tonight and is so excited. He said, "It didn't even hurt". It was literally just hanging on. He had fun on our family hike we went on today up North Canyon. We pray for you daily. God bless you. We Love You! Love, Your Family
