Fishing & Ducking A Letter To Elder Hawley 6/04/17

Hi Elder!  

How is it going? How was your week? We really enjoyed your letter and pictures as always. Miles really likes your bed and the crowns from "Burger King in Mexico". What happened to your companion's toe??? How is your ankle?

The kids are out of school...let summer begin. We had quite the fishing trip to Farmington Pond Saturday evening with the Williams. Malia caught a little fish. Miles was practicing casting out his fishing line and he caught a DUCK! The hook got caught on the duck's foot while the duck was floating on the water. Miles kept saying, "I caught a duck!" He couldn't real it in, it was too heavy. Mark had to help him while dad was helping Malia. Once they got the duck to the shore, it took dad and Mark to get the hook out of its foot. The duck was fine and swam away. We all got a good laugh for the rest of the night. Mom said, "Only my son would do that". Haha we had alot of fun! Dad said we went fishing AND ducking. Oh the fun memories we always make with the Williams though!

Dad hopes all is going well and the advice he gave you last week helped. Satan will do everything he can to stop the work. Because you seem to be working hard and doing what's right, he has to resort to making you feel unworthy. Dad has been pondering a lot on a statement he read in a recent conference talk. "The need to use the atonement each day in your life" .You can tell if the atonement is working in your life if you feel the spirit. The mighty change can come about in our life because of the atonement, but the change happens through the spirit. Little by little the spirit sanctifies us.

Keep up the good work and don't let Satan discourage you or make you feel unworthy. Remember you have another priesthood leader too (your mission president) to help you if you need.

Love ya tons, 

Your Family
