Serve in Righteousness & In Truth A Letter to Elder Hawley 2/05/18

Hi Elder,

How are things going for you? We know you are super busy. We miss receiving letters from you though. We have many questions. Are you starting to get the hang of the office? Are you enjoying all of the travel? It sounds like you are very busy and you spend a lot of time in all the different parts of the mission. Do you get a chance to interact with all the missionaries? Do you go on splits with all of the missionaries? Do you have to do a lot of training and teaching with the missionaries? Do you get to spend time with the local leaders of the church, like the bishops, stake presidencies, and others?

It was a busy week for us. The kids have been busy with school and other activities. Dad's week was super busy being part of and making many calling changes and releases in the ward. Mom has a new calling. She was called as the secretary in the relief society presidency working with Tammy Pozernick, Sharon Anderson, and Doris Garner. Three people she truly loves and admires. She is excited but nervous too. Mom had a spiritual experience before receiving her calling. Thursday night she couldn't sleep and was really restless. She kept waking up thinking about Tammy for some reason. She later found out that earlier Thursday is when Dad let Tammy know of changes that were happening and that she needed to find a new secretary. Tammy had very strong impressions to call mom as her secretary Thursday night and into Friday. Friday is when Tammy let dad know who she wanted. It is amazing how the Lord works. 

How has your weather been? We haven't had much of a Winter at all. It has been in the 40's and 50's and not a lot of snow which is a worry for the water situation. We hear it has been unusually cold in Mexico this year.

Scripture for this week  D&C 76:5 "For thus saith the Lord--I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end."

We hope you have a fabulous and successful week! We love you a ton!!!

Your Family
