Elder Hackleman,
How are you doing? We went to Joel’s law firm on our way
to Pocatello. Our whole family went in and talked with Joel for a while,
as we were leaving I told the ladies at the front desk that we were your
family. They giggled and said they had a feeling we were Jaren's family.
It was so fun:)
So, Saturday was a pretty awesome day. The investigator
that we have been teaching at our house got baptized and he had Seth baptize
him. Nathan and Seth had both taken turns sitting in on the lessons with
us. Talk about an awesome day. It was so cool. The sister
missionary on the very right, "Sister Harrison" is from Saint George.
She went to high school with Austin. Her first Sunday here was
your farewell.
Also, I guess you heard Grant is in Hawaii having the time of
his life. Surfing up a storm ha ha.
Nathan and Seth are having their second week of football camp.
Tomorrow Seth goes on a two day, overnight football camp. The
entire varsity team is being bussed to some military encampment. Seth
said it will be like Remember the Titans. Some scouts who have been
watching the teams at their football camps and have pre seasoned ranked Seth's
offensive line as number one in the state. Kind of cool.
Nathan was snooping through some of your stuff and found an old
pair of Nike shoes you left behind. They fit him perfectly and he is just
about as happy as can be. You would think it was Christmas around here.
Not much impresses him these days, but that sure made him happy. I
have a feeling we are going to need to get you all new stuff when you get back
ha ha.
I read an article in the Deseret News that D Todd Christofferson
was in Peru for a big mission conference and organized the 100th stake.
Did you get to go to the celebration? Did you know that there are
only 4 countries in the world that have over 100 stakes? US, Mexico,
Brazil, and now Peru.
Well, I sure love you. Keep up the good work!
Love Mom
Hey Momma!!!!
So first to address Elder Cristofferson. No I couldn´t go. There
were SOO many people that wanted to go that it was literally invitation only.
All the leadership positions from every ward in lima were invited and only 40
missionaries from every mission were invited. I don´t know if it was only 40
from the missions in lima or all of peru but anyway my comp and I couldn´t go.
I was bumbed. but I heard about it. Apparently When Elder Christofferson spoke,
it was as if a local peruvian spoke. His spanish was perfect and it wasn´t like
he had to pause to think of how to say something. Everything just flowed
beautifully. I was so jealous. I forgot to mention in my last letter about the
earthquakes. I´ve totally felt them! I can claim feeling to 2 earthquakes on my
mission so far! SWEET! I am so proud of Seth. and jealous. He performed his
first baptism before me! That is awesome though. And number one offensive line
in the state!!!!! it all hinges on the center. =) I don´t remember the email of Joel at the firm
so can you just tell him and James, David, Trudi, Amery, Lyndsey, and Shannon
thank you sooooooo much for the mission donation and that I miss and love them
all dearly and can´t wait to come back to visit them all so they better all
still be there when I get back!
I sure do love you mom! Hasta la proxima lunes!
Elder Hackleman
