Missions are Full of Ups and Downs
“Just when all seems to be going right,
Challenges often come in Multiple Doses
Applied Simultaneously.
When those trials are Not
Consequences of
Your Disobedience,
They are Evidence that the Lord
Feels you are prepared to Grow More.
He therefore gives you Experiences
that Stimulate Growth,
Understanding, and Compassion
Which Polish you for your
Everylasting Benefit.”
― Richard G. Scott
Thank You!

Letters to and from Peru
Elder Hackleman,
Hope you have had a great week. Ours has been an eventful
one. Seth worked a lot both at Bed Bath and Beyond but also at the
baseball fields. I went to the opening ceremonies and watched Austin and
Addie sing the national anthem. They did an awesome job.
Wed. we had an investigator at our house for a lesson. It
was his 2nd lesson. The sisters tracted him out. He is really
awesome. Seth sat in on the lesson as well.
The Hadley's blessed their baby during sacrament meeting
because Mike is being deployed before fast sunday. It was an awesome
Sunday full of great things.
Your dad and I had our 24 wedding anniversary on Saturday.
He got us club tickets to the 1st College World Series game. It was
so much fun!
Nathan is enjoying football. It was so funny, he told me
the freshman stand on the side whenever the varsity football players walk past.
It is sort of like a parade, ha ha. Seth hit him on the shoulder as
he passed by. All the kids were envious of him for having a cool brother.
I never thought I would be happy to hear that Seth hit his brother ha ha.
I can't remember if I told you that Gma is taking Grant to
Hawaii in July. He is so excited!
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade scored 25
points each during the game last night, and Allen brought 21 off the bench, but
the defense wasn't there throughout the game. The Heat lost game 5 to
the Spurs so now they go back to Florida for game 6 and if they win game 7.
Love you and can't wait to hear from you. Hopefully
pictures!
Love,
Mom
Hey mom!
That´s awesome that you have lessons at the house. I can stand as a personal
witness now that missionary work can only be as successful as the members of
the wards are. They are a huge part. We had two baptismal dates for this week
but they both fell through so that was hard on us, but we are still working
hard and I know that we will have success.
How
awesome are those seats that dad gets from OTC! I bet you guys had a blast. And
also, I don’t think you could have gotten dad a better Father´s day present. I
am sure that he is stoked.
It
sounds like Seth is really starting to take Nathan under his wing. I am so
happy to hear that. I was worried how both of them being in high school would
play out but now I know I don´t have to. I am also glad that Nathan is having
fun in football. I know I´m a broken record but he really has the stuff to be
something in football like Seth does. Different
skills but the potential to be just as successful.
Thanks
for the Heat updates! It sounds close but I´m not worried yet. =) I love you
mom! I got an awesome email from Albanie. I love hearing from them. Tell Becky
to email me because I don´t have her Email. Love you!

Dear Elder Punkin Sonshine!
How was your week?? I heard rumors through Mission stalking on
the internet that your Mission is splitting. Is that true? What's been
happening? Your mom and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary yesterday. We
went to the College World Series. I got tickets from work and we sat in the
same seats that you and I sat in to watch the Omaha Night Hawks football team.
We had a blast! Your mom and Becky got Tim and I tickets to see the Kansas City
Chiefs play the 49er's in August for Father's Day. It's a pre-season game on a
Friday night, but we are so excited!!
So what was your companion's name and where's he from? What's
church like? What do you guys do on your p-Days? Play some soccer hopefully!
The family is doing great! Everyone is healthy and getting along
pretty well. I can't remember if we told you that Seth was called as 1st
Assistant to Bishop Ford.
Anyway, I know you are super busy, so here's your lesson for the
week:
Repeat
after me:
¿Cuántos
altos sacerdotes toma para cambiar una bombilla? Ninguno. Es más fácil dormir
con la lección si no hay luz en el cuarto.
In english:
How many High Priests does it take to change a light bulb? None.
It's easier to sleep through the lesson if there is no light in the room.
¡Ámele hijo! Papá
Hey
dad! Sorry I didn´t have time to write back last week! I´ve been bummed about
that all week. I hope you guys had a good anniversary! Did mom think those
seats were awesome like we thought. I am so jealous that you and Tim are going
to that game! Are mom and Becky going too or is it just a guy date? My
companion´s name is Elder Kitchens. He´s from Ogden. Church is different. Haha
It´s cool and there are tons of church buildings here but they are all built
way different than those from the states. They are all built from cement and
have nothing but tile as the floor. They are incredibly nice compared to every
other building here though. I love Peruvians.
That´s awesome that Seth is First Assistant. That´s great. Everyone
loves this week´s spanish lesson and....we can definitely tell that you use
google translator! haha Love you dad.
