Faith & Hope A Letter to Elder Hawley 1/15/17

Hey There Elder,

How was your week? Hopefully you got your "son" and you are getting along. Are you in a new area? How many are in your district? How close to the mission home are you now? We feel like we lost track of what is going on. It feels like things have been a little crazy these last few weeks. We hope things have settled down and you are in a good grove working hard and enjoying your mission.
It was Mayor's Cup this week. Dad was able to take some time off work and officiate. Everyone says hi and they all were asking how you are doing. Most of them get your emails. It is good for you to know you are still being a good influence on those kids that have looked up to you for so long. So while you are sharing the gospel in Mexico, you are also having an influence on the future missionaries from here at home. It is a miracle how the Lord can magnify the good we do and touch so many people.
Dad has been preparing for ward conference. He is studying faith and hope, trying to decide what to give his talk on. We've been watching college football. There has been a lot of forth quarter come backs. Faith is like the play that is called. It is an action word, you run the play it is something you do. Hope is the attitude you run the play with. Hope that it is the right play, hope that everyone else does their job, and hope that you will be victorious.  Faith proceeds the miracle. So keep working hard, focus on a good attitude and let the Lord magnify your works.
Scripture for this week...Moroni 7:41-43
Mitch, we are so proud of you. We are being blessed here at home because of your service. We love you, miss you, and pray for you each day. 
Have a great week!
Love, Your Family
