Preparing in Times of Prosperity A Letter to Elder Hawley 4/23/18

Hey Elder,
Sounds like things are going great.  It's good to hear you are busy. Hang in there when you feel crazy busy. Time is going by so fast. We are sure there are important lessons still to be learned and we believe you still will meet people you can change right up until the last day of your mission.
Dad had to speak in church. He talked on preparing in times of prosperity. It's easy to rely on the Lord and give sincere prayer in times of trial. But do we have enough self discipline to do the things you should each day when things are going good. 
We have had a very busy week. It was Malia (and dad's) performances of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It has been so good. Tuesday night is the last show. It is being recorded so you can watch it when you get home. It has been so fun!
Scriptures for the week: Alma 13:28 "But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering."
Helaman 10:4-5 "Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou has done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but has sought my will, and to keep my commandments.
5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will."Have a great week. We love you a ton!!!
