King James

Elder Hackleman Loved Watching Labron James

Play Basketball before his mission.

Yesterday Labron Won the National Championship.  

Elder Hackleman Won't even know about it until next

Preparation Day when he checks email.  His priorities have changed.

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!

Joel Beck You Rock! Thank You For Paying
For Elder Hackleman's Mission for the Month
of July so The Hackleman Family Can Make a
Trip to Idaho to Attend the Family Reunion:)

Photos From Peru





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.

Grandpa Howard The Missionary

Grandpa Howard Beck Photo was taken when he was on his mission in Texas.  Now he is continuing his mission from the other side of the veil.  I'm sure he will be helping his grandchildren while they are on missions.  He currently has Elder Hackleman, Elder Cook, Sister Beck, and soon to be Elder Beck all serving full time missions.
