Sacrifice A Letter To Elder Hawley 3/05/17

Hey Elder!

How are you doing? How was your week? This was the big swim week. C of I did pretty good at Nationals. Boys placed 15th. Girls placed 7th. Thomas made it back to the A finals in both the 200 IM and the 400 IM. He re-broke his record from last year in the 200 IM by a little bit. He didn't do so well in the 200 Back. We think Thomas had a rough year without you, Tyler, or Jake there to push him.  He always has had a hard time motivating himself. Sheridan's said they really missed all of us there this year. Maddy did really well and received the All America Award. The Gassaways swam at the PAC 12 Championships. It looks like they dropped quite a bit of time. Marah swam also. We are not sure about Drew or Adam.

In other even stranger news Steve resigned from Tsunami and Woods Cross. So they are without a head coach. Crazy swim news . Maybe you already have heard about most of it. 

Other news, all else is going well at home. Miles is excited to tell you that he is moving up to Level 4 in swim lessons. He is so excited. Malia had another gymnastics meet and did well, not quite as well as she did the last meet though. She was a little disappointed. She placed 3rd in the vault. Megan is excited to be going to Convention for FFA this upcoming week. 

Time is going by super fast for us as well. We are so proud of you and grateful for the good example you are setting for everyone. We really enjoyed receiving all the pictures last week. It is so comforting for us seeing you looking happy and healthy. What a great sacrifice you are making by being on your mission at this time. Mom had a lesson on Christ and what he sacrificed for us in Relief Society today. A really good scripture was referenced...Alma 7:11-13.

You are making a difference in Mexico, here at home, and for your family and friends. It is amazing how the Lord can magnify our efforts. Keep working hard, being positive, having patience and love, and keep smiling.
 
Have a great week. We Love and Miss ya tons! We look forward to our chat, your letter and pictures each week. 

Love, 
Your Family
