Having the Gospel is a Privilege A Letter to Elder Hawley 11/27/17

Hey Elder,

How are things going for you? We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was good. There were 31 of us at Grandma and Grandpa's this year. There is a family from Venezuela who are living next door to Aunt Ginger's. Grandma invited them to eat with us. It made us feel close to you hearing the dad and cute kids speaking Spanish. We wished you could have been there to help translate. Dad didn't feel well the entire day. By nighttime he became progressively worse. He ended up receiving 3 bags of IV fluid in the ER that night, for severe dehydration. He had some kind of bacterial infection and colitis. He is doing better. Illnesses are definitely going around. It's that time of year, unfortunately. Nothing much different happened in our week.

Here are some thoughts and scriptures for your week:

"We all need to remember, men are that they might have joy-not guilt trips."
 (Elder Russell M. Nelson)

"Never postpone a prompting". (President Thomas S Monson)

Let the spirit be your constant companion. "The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever." (D & C 121:46)

"Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:18-19)

The Samaritan showed the wounded man kindness and mercy. He treated him like a neighbor. Jesus wants us to treat others as the good Samaritan did. (Luke 10:25-37)

Keep up the great work, great attitude, and continue to "Be All In".

We Love and Miss you a ton!!!

Your Family
