Elder Hackleman and my best buddy Jose

Elder Hackleman skypes home for Mother's Day-May 2015

Elder Hackleman's District

Mother's Day Message from Elder Hackleman

Hey Mommie! Sorry I had a whole message I wanted to say to you planned out, but then I got excited and forgot it all. So it wasn’t very great haha. Anyways I know we just skyped but I forgot to say a bunch of stuff too! Once again I’m sorry I didn’t talk a lot to you guys, I feel like I’m always talking to Jaren. It just seems like it has been so much longer sense I have seen him. Anyways, apparently President Cordova took my idea of the new district to the area presidency but they declined it because of the decrease of missionaries. They just opened some new missions, so they had to send us less missionaries these past few changes and they have been closing areas. They don’t have enough to open a new one but maybe later on in the future!

Jose is a friend of the sister in the branch who always helps us out. He loves the missionaries and we teach him every once in a while but he has never been super interested in the church because his family is super Catholic. It’s ok though, he helps us out all the time though! Sometimes he will come pick up our clothes and pay to have them washed at a lavanderia for us, (sorry that is one of the words I don’t remember in English).

So has dad talked to you about me coming home a change early? I know it is still a ways out and I don’t really want to think about it. I don’t want to come home a change early to be honest, but I feel like it might be the only way I could get everything ready before football starts. I’m not sure. What do you think?

So when does jaren leave for school? Does he have any scholarships or anything?

How are Nathan and Grant doing? I feel bad because I think I heard Grant’s voice like once, the whole skype! We don’t have very much time to skype in this mission sadly:( oh well.

I love you mom! Happy Mothers day!!!

Dear Elder Hackleman,

What a wonderful day yesterday was. It was so great to be able to skype you. Your message to me was the sweetest thing ever! Thank you so much! I am the proudest mother ever!

I know we just skyped last night, but I still forgot to ask a few questions.

You were getting ready to tell us about the changes in your district, but then we got sidetracked.

Did they change your area so you are not traveling so much, like you suggested?

It was fun talking to your friend Jose. Does he come to church and take lessons, or just hang out with your guys?

He sure seems like a good guy. How did you meet him?

I sure love you!

Love Mom
