Hey Fam,
So it’s Denver Colorado South for me!
Ha-ha, kind of funny right? I was thinking I would go some where on the east
coast or something cool like that, but Denver will be great! I can’t believe I
leave on MONDAY! Crazy Crazy... I just got my flight plan and I depart at 8:30.
It's an hour and a half flight so I guess once I land its game time! Ha-ha. I’m
so excited to teach the people in Colorado.
Easter was so amazing! We had a
sacrament meeting of 3,000 missionaries. They said it was the biggest sacrament
meeting in history. We also got to hear from the presiding Bishop, which was awesome.
That night we also got to hear from Sheri Dew, you probably know her. She was
awesome! She taught us about the tools that we need to be a successful
missionary and about being obedient. After that talk I have been trying to be
extra obedient. I have noticed a difference. That whole Easter Sunday was very
spiritual and relaxing. Then on Tuesday we got to hear from an area 70 from Paris.
He was awesome! He talked a lot about enduring to the end. While he was talking
I was thinking about what I’m going to be like after my mission. From the help
of the speaker and the Holy Ghost I received the thought of when ever I have a
trial in life I can always turn to the great spiritual feelings I have felt
here in the MTC and I feel like I will be able to accomplish any of the trials
that will be placed in my life. I hope I never forget these spiritual
feelings I feel on this beautiful mission. Dad, I know now why it's so important
to write in your journal every night! The speaker also talked about
how the most important work, or service for the Lord, we can do
is in the walls of our own home. I thought this was awesome. Also, the
speaker told us to picture our entire family in their rooms praying for me
personally every night. This really touched me and brought the spirit to
me. I realize the love I have and it makes the hard times so much easier
when I think of all of you. It's amazing the support I have here. I love
you all so much!
I’m sure the Easter Party was fun!
It's always nice meeting up with the whole family. They are so amazing. I’m
glad you all like the house so much! Amanda told me about Millie being way
freaked out and weird. Ha-ha, that's so funny! I’m glad the move went well. I
bet Dad is exhausted! He's such a stud.
The missionary plaque looks otimo! Thanks
for sending me a picture of it and the other pictures as well. You are all
so beautiful. Whenever I show people the pictures of our family they always say
I have a beautiful family, which is true! Emme is so adorable. She breaks my
heart. Kind of funny story, so after the devotional on Tuesday we had a
testimony meeting. My district leader, Elder Lapray, talked a little about his
nephew and then I started thinking about Emme and I just started crying. Ha-ha..I
can’t wait to see her in 23 months!
So I’m not exactly sure how the schedule
is going to be, but we don’t have class or anything so I think we just go to a
room and watch Conference all day! Which is going to be so cool. I feel like I'll actually listen to all the talks and its going to help me a lot. I want to
encourage all of you to listen or watch general conference and do it with a
question in your mind and in your heart. I know the question will be answered.
For me, I have many questions ha-ha...
The rest of this last week has been
really busy. We hosted the new missionaries on Wednesday, which was way cool. Kind
of sad seeing all the moms crying when they got back in their car after their
missionary left. Couldn't stop thinking about you Mom. I miss you so much!
I’m excited to see the pictures of
the house! I hear it looks great! Mom, for my room you can do whatever you
want!:) As far as the most special thing that happened this week, it was when
we had our infield orientation. I learned a lot about what I’m going to be doing
in the field. I never knew how important the members are to missionary work.
They can help us a lot. Also, goal setting and planning. Those are very
important. They also talked a lot about finding people. This part was very
useful. Right when I get to Colorado I’m going to run up to some one and start
talking to them. They told me I’m going to be nervous for the first 100 people I
talk to so I’m going to have to get through those first 100 as fast as
possible!
Dad will you keep me updated with
that website that tells me about the Visa status? I hope Gramps is okay? Dad, I
have never felt neglected by you or anyone in the family. I realize you are all
busy. I’m busy too ha-ha. Don’t worry too much about me! I have the Holy Ghost
in my life and the Lord by my side. I don’t think I have ever felt so safe and
prepared in my entire life. Also, Dad when you talked about the change you have
noticed in me, that makes me happy. I hope I’m a completely different person
when I get home. I hope I’m like you.
I love you all so much. Keep me
updated with everyone. They changed the rules so we can email anyone now. So
let all my friends know they can just email me instead of writing me. They also
give us extra time on emails now too. It's a great change, I think. Can you get
me Aunt Lisa’s, Courts, Chris Abraham, Mitch, and Tadd’s Email
too?
Tell Amy, Steph. Jeff, Cam, Amanda
and Shaye I want to hear from them! It can even be a short message from your
phone!:)
I love you all so much and I miss
you.
Obrigado por tudos o amor
-Elder Hauck
