Week of June 30, 2014

We sanded and painted the Pergola at Grandma Karen's House for her birthday gift.

It ended up being a lot harder work than we had anticipated.  The paint sprayer was too heavy for anyone to hold up above their head except for Tim and Seth.  Tim started to get sick so the majority of the work landed on Seth.  He definitely did more than he should have post shoulder surgery.

From Mom,

Your dad is helping with the painting even though he is Lame. His knee is swollen and hurting. He is calling his gout "tendentious" because of course it isn't gout.

That is awesome! You will be a great district leader!

Love Mom

From Elder Hackleman,

HA! It is never gout mother......

Dear Elder,
Well, we made it to Grandma Karen's yesterday. It was a good drive. We stopped in Sidney just to see the house. It was pretty much the same except they filled in the trampoline hole! The new owner glared at us as we drove slowly by. He doesn't know who we are, so he seemed like a jerk. Oh well! Not our problem anymore. Today we're going to paint the pergola for grandma. Tomorrow we'll head out to Idaho. We'll send you pictures!

How is everything going there? What's happening with teaching appointments? I looked into that your company, but all they have is a FaceBook page. And it's all in Spanish! I'll still keep them in mind.

Seth had 6 wisdom teeth taken out on Tuesday. He's finally starting to feel better. Nathan got home from trek on Saturday. He had a great time. You would be so proud of him. He has matured a lot.

D-Wade and Kevin Bosch are joining Lebron in free agency. Looks like the entire heat team is getting overhauled!

Well, tell us how thing are going!!!

Love you son!

Dad

Hey Dad! That is crazy that they filled the hole in. It just isn´t the same now. Haha We have been contacting like crazy this week. We have found some cool new people so we´ll see how it goes. I met a member in our branch here and he has been to omaha!!!!!!!! We works with cattle and has been to omaha, atlanta, madison, kentucky, kansas and more! It was so nuts! I never thought I would meet someone in my mission that had been to omaha. Haha

How did seth have so many wisdom teeth?? That is crazy! Bummer deal with Lebron and the boys, I think they will get new contracts though. How could they not.

We had a crazy week this week in the mission. Like 10 missionaries from our mission that are from central america got kicked out of Perú pretty much because they had a bunch of problems with their missions. They got reassigned to missions in either ecuador or columbia. That caused for a massive emergency transfer in the mission to try and fill in empty spots. Luckily, my companion and I didn´t get changed but my district leader did, so President Archibald made me district leader. Haha That was the craziest of the weekend. My companion didn´t get kicked out but he did have to go to lima to do stuff for his visa so we were out of our area almost all of tuesday and wednesday.

Love you Dad!
