Missions Have Eternal Consequences
"Decide to do something that will have eternal consequences...
Anywhere you are in the world, with Prayer and Faith, determination
and diligence, and some Sacrifice, you can make a Powerful Contribution.

Elder Hackleman's Departure Day April 10, 2013
 |
| We are trying to put on a happy face, when we are feeling sad about missing Jaren. |
 |
| Jaren's airline Ticket is in his hand |
 |
| Elder Hackleman is on the plane waiting to depart Omaha, Nebraska for Salt Lake City |
 |
| Grant watches Jaren's plane out the window. |
 |
| Just because it is 5:30 in the morning, doesn't mean the boys aren't hungry:) |
 |
| There goes the plane, bye Jaren for 2 years! |
 |
| I didn't realize how hard it would be to see Jaren go. It's a good thing we have good friends who gave me a missionary mom survival kit. This was just what the doctor ordered! |

Elder Hackleman's correspondence with his dad
Dear Dad,
Attached is a picture of
Joce, Larissa, and I. The rest are just me haha Dad your spanish is so
hilarious. It’s become a district fad to read every P day. Everyone loves it
haha I can't believe Lance is home! I thought he didn't come home until
July!and Guess what Family!!!!!!!!! I think I got my visa! I should be leaving
a week from tomorrow for Peru!!!! When I get my travel plans, I will figure out
a way to let ya'll know when I'll be at the airport so I can call! I'm so
stoked! I love you all!
Elder Hackleman
Dear Elder Punkin
Sonshine,
So the family had a
great week. We only had one injury!!! Grant was playing basketball at school on
the low rims. He went to dunk it and the ball hit the back of the rim and (we
think) dislocated his finger and then immediately went back into place. It's
been a week and it is still swollen and black and blue. He can bend it without
any pain, so we know it's not broken. We found out that Lance Christian is
home! That went by fast. Can you imagine he is coming home to a new baby
brother!!
We had a great Mother's
day. Saturday we planted raspberries, black berries and strawberries for your
mom's present. Seth got her a movie-style popcorn popper from Bed, Bath and
Beyond. Grant spoke in Sacrament and did a great job! He was nervous, but did
awesome.
We need photos!!! What's
been going on? Do you need anything before you leave?
Today's lesson is on baptizing in the wild:
Repeat after me...
Buenas noticias: Usted bautizó a siete
investigadores en el río local.
Malas noticias: Usted perdió cinco de ellos en
la corriente fuerte.
In English...
Good News: You
baptized seven investigators in the local river.
Bad News: You lost
five of them in the strong current.
Ámele hijo,
Papá

Helaman's stripling warriors
May 13, 2013
Elder Hackleman’s
response to Bloom where you are planted photos.
Awesome!!! They look way
better than I thought they would! I am sending some pics to dads email for
ya'll. What's the update on the NBA playoffs just for curiosity's sake? Hows
the reigning MVP doing? haha I hope Grants finger gets better. ICE ICE ICE! Thanks
for all the letters mom and happy late mothers day!!!!! I was thinking about
the army of Helaman yesterday and had an epiphany. I don't know if it was the
Spirit or just me making connections but listen to this.
Our family is exactly
like the army of Helaman. If we would have been lamanites during the time of
Helaman, Dad would have buried his sword and vowed never to raise it again. I
know he would because he has. He gave up his life for what he knew was right.
You would have been the mother to teach us how to live righteous, gospel filled
lives just like those in the Book of Mormon because that is what you do now.
And because of both of your examples, I know that all four of us boys would be
on the battlefield fighting for what's right. That is what I am doing. Serving
a mission is a fight. It is a fight against the adversary and it is a fight
that we already know the winners of. I am so grateful to have you both as
parents and to have 3 Stripling warrior brothers to fight alongside me. Happy
Mother's Day again Mom. I love you all so much.
*Till We Meet Again*

Bloom Where You Are Planted!
 |
| Beautiful Mother's Day Flowers! Thank You Elder Hackleman, for your service last fall that brings me flowers today. It is the parable of the seed at work. |
Mother's Day Flowers
 |
| Elder Hacklerman, and his little brother Grant planted bulbs in the fall. Now on Mother's Day, while Elder Hackleman is in the MTC, his flowers are blooming. I can't think of a better Mother's Day gift! |
