Can you imagine that, Graham in England! Dad must be completely prepping him for the island across the pond. I know that Graham's personality will contrast perfectly with those in England. I actually think I would want to see him out there baptizing all those Brits. Now if we could just get Devon and Brandon....
 
Anyway, how about that dark night last Tuesday? I heard there was some type of "blackout" across the country. Poor people... I am just glad the number of missionaries will sky-rocket over the next four years bringing light to "dark" times! I know that this is the time for more missionaries and the "nights" will only get darker before anything is to get better. There is a Mormon message from Elder Bednar (actually a three "part" series) about light and the Light of Christ. In one of them, he quotes President Packer and says that a true test of our faith is stepping into the darkness trusting that the light will follow. Once we have done so, we will find that the light has shown just a little bit further and we must take another step. "We walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7).
 
I would have given anything to hear Dad and Uncle Scott speak. This week we have Elder Pieper of the Presidency of the 70 speaking to us. I know that he is a Special Witness of Christ and it will be an honor to sit at his feet and listen to his testimony. Yet, there is nothing more powerful in the family than the strong testimony that is borne to one another. Unless the family knows, than it is fruitless to listen to anybody else.
 
Love,
Elder Hamblin
 
P.S. Mo. Tab. and anything that makes you think of Christ, brings the Spirit, and uplifts the soul.
 
P.P.S. I have not taken many pictures since the last time I sent you some, but they will come!
