A Happy Easter A Letter to Elder Hawley 4/16/17

Hey Elder!

From Dad...I hope things are going well. Hopefully you are finding success and happiness. How is the new area and the new ward? I have been looking at the weather, looks like it is starting to get warm down there. From the looks of your pictures you might want to get some sunscreen and put it on your face and neck. You look great though and very happy.

The Lord seems to be taking good care of you. You are gaining great experiences and knowledge that will be a help to you for the rest of your life, not to mention the relationship you are developing with your Heavenly Father. Make the most of this opportunity, the Lord will bless you for it. Your mission is like life it is a short time in comparison to your whole life, but if you are faithful you will earn a reward that will last a lifetime. Keep up the good work. 

We had a great sacrament meeting today about the last week of the Savior's life. The way he served and loved everyone as he was struggling through the atonement is such a great example of how we should be in our own lives. He never let his personal trials affect his attitude or mission or let him pass up an opportunity to serve others.

We had a scripture that hit home for me Hebrews 12:1...“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” King James Version  I like the part, "let us run with patience the race that is set before us". Patience and love, that is the key to life!   

We Love you very much!

Your Family
