Care, Love, Serve A Letter to Elder Hawley 3/12/17

Hey Elder!  

Well one more week has flown by. Time seems to just go faster and faster. It is getting warmer now and the snow and mud are all gone. So dad is getting very busy at work and is way behind. That's how life seems to go for him and work.

Miles got really sick really fast last Wednesday with a super high fever (103-104). He also had a stomach ache, breathing issues, and alot of sinus congestion. Mom and dad ended up taking him to Primary Children's Hospital at 10:00 p.m. Due to the high fever and his vitals being super high, we were put in a room right away and the Sepsis Trauma Team greeted us in the room. They thought he was septic. He was given medicine, Gatorade, and observed for two hours. As fast as he got sick, he perked up really fast too after the medicine kicked in. It ended up being a really bad virus. We didn't get home until 1 in the morning. He has been doing okay ever since thank goodness. So scary when kids are sick.

Megan missed Thursday and Friday at school and went to the FFA convention in Cedar City. She had a great time and learned alot. Emily Fujikawa got married on Friday. Mom and dad went to the wedding dinner Thursday night and mom went to the wedding at the Draper Temple Friday morning. We all went to the reception Friday night. It ended up being a perfect day for Emily and great weather. She married a guy she met from Draper.

We love hearing about your days and hearing about the people you are teaching. This time of your life you will always look back on with fond memories, make the most of it. It sounds like you are becoming a Mexican. This is the key to success, love the people first, then it will be easy for them to listen to what you have to say. 

We had stake conference this week. In the priesthood leadership meeting a guy said, "Nobody cares what you have to say until they know you care!" Sounds like good advice. Another man gave some advice his son learned in pilot's school. The first rule of flying is to fly the plane. Sounds obvious. He explained that while flying a plane a lot of things can go wrong. You can be distracted by all the instruments, warnings or other things, but you can never let these distractions keep you from your purpose in flying the plane. Sure, there are a lot of distractions in the mission-companions, letters, programs, training, etc... just never let it get in the way of the reason you are there-to share the good news of the gospel to those who are prepared to hear it!!!! 

Remember... By love serve one another Galatians 5:13
