From Elder Hatch

In Carson's letter this week, he included an awesome experience he'd had, along with his feelings about it. Sure makes this mom's heart swell to hear how much he's learning and growing.

From Elder Hatch:
"So earlier today, we did something really cool! We went up to Mount Fébé and stood at the place where Elder Holland dedicated Cameroon for the preaching of the gospel. And I don't know how Elder Whitesides got it, but he read the dedicatory prayer that he gave while he was atop this large rock over looking Yaoundé. It was beautiful. It made me so proud to be able to be a part of those missionaries who are lucky enough to be able to preach the good word in Africa. 

Is it easy? No. 
Is it worth it? More than anything else. 
Is there stuff that gets in the way of the Lord's work? Oh yea. 
Do we power through it though? But of course!

It was quite a beautiful prayer and then we sang 'High on a Mountain Top.'  It was really cool to stand up on that rock, look out, and think to myself, 'Wow. The Lord has trusted all of this city to 10 young men. That's it... And I'm one of them.' It was really powerful."
