Busy Week A Letter to Elder Hawley 4/2/17

Hey Elder Hawley!

How was your week? We had a lot going on. Megan is in California on the Woods Cross High music trip. Malia tried out and made cheerleader for Millcreek. She had to do a cheer and a routine that was taught. She had to also come up with her own tricks. She did a round off double back handspring toe touch. She was really nervous before trying out but she gave it her all and remembered everything. She felt so good about how she did. She is so excited she made the cheer team. Mom and Dad just work. We have had so much rain and snow. There is flooding everywhere up North. It is making it hard to get any work done and stay on schedule. Dad is so far behind. 

We took off because of conference weekend and we went to Twin Falls, Idaho. It's been a long time since we drove up to Idaho. It was like old times coming up to watch your swim meets. Anyway we stayed in a hotel which, of course, is Miles idea of a perfect vacation. He is actually really learning how to swim. We hiked around up in Idaho and checked out some water falls and different state parks. It was a fun get away.

The rec center celebrated its tenth anniversary. Can you believe it? Ten years ago we went and took the tour and you decided to try out for the swim team. That was quite a pivotal moment in our lives. 

We hope you had a great week. We love hearing from you and all about the people you are teaching and the things you are learning. We can see a big change in you. You are becoming a great missionary and disciple of Christ. We are super proud of you and your hard work. You are being blessed now and are storing up a huge amount of blessings for your future. We are also being blessed as a family because of your service. It is all part of the Lord's law of compensation when you earn a blessing. Not only are you blessed but the people around you are also blessed. You have been a blessing in our lives since the day you came into our lives. Thank you for being the man you are!

D & C 130:
18 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
19 And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.
20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—
21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.

We love you always,

Your Family
