Hello ~ Dearest Family and Friends of..... Our Hadley Family......
Most of you know that our son, Garrett......is serving a church mission right now. He sent us a mini video (thanks to technology with small digital cameras!) so his Mom (me!) could SEE her Missionary son!!!!! Sorry, but he hasn't been away from home all that long (only 4 months). And....I am sure you all can relate to....a "mother's hard-time-with-letting-their-first-child-leave-the-nest....syndrome!" even for serving a mission! ha, ha.
So in the FUN "Spirit of celebrating Missions and Life" in general......as well as in the eyes of a "Humor Loving Mind of Garrett's own Mother" (me again) .......... I will share with you.....our missionary son's video. Please Enjoy! and most of all....
THANKS so much (!)......for all of your loving support and friendships with our Hadley family! We truly love your friendships, all to pieces! Very Sincerely, Candice Hadley & family too!
OK.......let's get the SHOW (video) on the Road! ........
Wouldn't you LOVE to just know what Missionary's.....namely Elder Garrett Hadley..... IS doing with his spare missionary time?????? After a very ..L..o..n..g.. day of missionary work ~ with teaching the wonderful people, along with his missionary companion, Elder Thurber ......in Arkansas city, Kansas area?????? (aka: Ark-City....The Derby Area. Elder G & Elder Thurber are called to serve in the "Independence Missouri Mission, over-all.)
Well.......Wait NO longer (!).......as he took up his own Mother's "Begging plea".....to send her a FUN video clip.... (via his digital camera's ability) ..... so she could SEE her favorite Missionary Son.... out in the missionary field!
SO........please enjoy......
A FUN (funny!) Video Clip from none-other than our "Famous Ark-City Missionary son, Elder Garrett Hadley"........ (he's becoming famous because he has been in that particular area so long! ha, ha)
*****CAN YOU SAY......now....."A possible Country-Boy-Missionary or Red-neck's way of EXERCISING ......with one of those BIG white exercise balls??????" Hmmmm....."HOW do they really do it?"
*Please....Play video clip now
Wahoo (!)......Way to Go Elder G! .....You F....i....n....a....l....l....y fought and conquered that BIG DRAGON of an exercise ball! Ha, ha. Good job! We LOVE you! "God-Speed Elder!"
.....and YES..... even after another mission transfer day.....Elder Garrett Hadley is STILL serving in Ark-City!!!!!! I guess Heavenly Father really wants him to L....O....V....E that beautiful small country town, no matter what it takes! Ha, ha.....just kidding. Garrett really enjoys and loves serving the people of Ark-City!
Although......this new transfer Date (after 3 months) Elder Garrett received another new awesome missionary companion....that is from none-other than...... Salt Lake City, Utah.....and EVEN went to BSU in 2007, a year before his own mission time. So.....Elder Garrett Hadley should continue to really feel at home in Arkansas City (ark-city) ...... serving with a former Boise / BSU student! "Wahoo! God-Speed Elders!" "Your both Awesome!"
AGAIN.......Thanks so much for all of your loving support and friendships with our Hadley family and especially the support for our missionary son!!!!!
And in closing.....with the words from our famous teens of today....."You all Rock!" THANKS a Million!
Very Sincerely,
Candice Hadley
& family too!
P.S. *A mini update on our missionary son & his missionary progress to share the gospel .....Garrett is called to serve in the "Independence Missouri Mission." And....since Garrett's first arrival into the Mission Field....from the Provo, Utah Mission Training Center (MTC) on February 20, 2008.....Elder Garrett Hadley has been called to serve in the "Derby Area - Arkansas City, Kansas or aka: Ark-City." And.....from Feb. 20th, 2008 and on....he has remained in this area so far, throughout many "Mission Transfer Days!" being....almost a total of 4 months.
One cool thing to know.....the Ark-City Mission Field has not had a baptism for the past 4 years! And....Garrett also told us that he noticed.....that not a lot of "Unity" with the Ark-City people, was seen or felt within this area, either. However.....with the pure dedication of spreading our Savior's pure loving example along with their belief & testimonies of our beloved Savior.....Elder Garrett Hadley along with his 1st companion, Elder Thurber.....just recently baptized 2 wonderful people! And....with some more willingness-in-attitudes, from the Ark-City people, to hear our Savior's true Gospel....has set up even more missionary appointments to continue sharing with them. Yea! We LOVE the stuffins out of you both - Elder Garrett Hadley & Elder Thurber! Way to share your Testimonies of our awesome Savior, Jesus Christ!
However.....after 3 months with being Missionary Companions with the awesome, Elder Thurber.....This past Transfer Date, May 15, 2008....Elder Garrett Hadley was still assigned to serve in the "Ark-City, Derby Area".....but now along with his new companion, Elder Gallegos (Guy-egos)....another awesome missionary companion! And......Elder Garrett is STILL very excited to continue to serve the people in Ark-City! As they all are simply w..o..n..d..e..r..f..u..l people!!!!!!! *Special note: Elder Gallegos has only been out on his mission for ONE transfer date longer than our son, Garrett. Which means....only 6 weeks longer! So.....they are both still "Greenie Missionaries!" (greenie = Rookies or New missionaries....in the mission field!)
Also......Please Enjoy reading my own Letter from my awesome missionary-son, Elder Garrett Hadley:"Hi Mom......here is a video for you.....just like you requested.
On P-Days......My missionary exercising program is REALLY going GREAT!"
Hope you enjoy it.
Love you tons!
From: Your missionary son,
Elder Garrett Hadley
