Being on the Lord's Errand A Letter To Elder Hawley 3/26/17

Hi Elder!

How are you doing? How was your week? We enjoyed your letter as always and can't wait to see the picture of the table you helped make for the family, also to hear about the funny story that goes with the picture. 

Quick updates in the ward. Sister Browning passed away then sister Pratt passed away and Brother Memmott also passed. His funeral is tomorrow (Monday). Hopefully we are done with people passing away this year! You probably  took the sacrament in to all of those people.

Dad had bishops council last Thursday. It is usually a very long meeting but also very spiritual. They discussed the authority that comes with being on the Lords errand. You are doing his work. He will support and magnify you. On our own we are nothing but with the Lord, all things are possible. You are doing great. We hope you are keeping a journal. We can see the growth in you. You are becoming a priesthood man. We are so blessed to have you as a son and to have you as an example.

Guess what? Miles wants to tell you that he found his wallet in the pocket of the back of the seat in the little red truck. Have you found yours? Miles also wants to tell you that on Friday we hiked to the top of the V. It was super steep and he got his butt all dirty. On the hike he found some cool rocks and bullets on the way. When we got to the top we realized we can drive all the way up. Ha ha we had a good hike though. Miles wants to know if you have ever hiked up to the very top of the V? He wished he would have brought his snowboard then he could have rode it all the way down to the bottom.

Malia spent  time on Saturday night with Audrey Fraser. Turns out she is Marissa Fraser's little sister. Its a small world. Malia will be attending cheer clinics this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. She tries out for the cheer team on Thursday and finds out if she makes the team on Friday. Please pray for her to feel confident and that she does well this week.

Megan is excited as this Thursday through next Tuesday she will be attending the band and choir trip to Disneyland. There are many things planned of fun and performing. There are over 200 kids going. 

Two scriptures for this week:

Alma 32:27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

2 Nephi 31:17 Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.

We are always thinking of you and praying for you and the people in Mexico. 

We Love You, 
Your Family
