Here is a link to the John Moyle story that Hannah referenced. It's a beautiful story of dedication and service.

And now, her letter!
Wasn't it so fun to talk last week?! You all sound so great. Welcome to the "Crash the Corolla" team, Abbs! I'm glad you're ok. I don't think we could be more creative with coming up with things to put mom and dad through. Us kids are pretty accomplished when it comes to their aging, I would say. And they love us anyway! And put us on missions...probably so there's one less head to worry about. Just kidding :) And Haydn has a child! so exciting!!!
This week was so long and busy and fun. I can hardly remember how it started. I went on exchanges with my old companion, Sister Killpack, in Tsing Yi. And we went finding all day, which was fitting for the reunion. I think that's all we ever did together haha. She's sweet. And then we had Zone Conference. President and Sister Hawks have always had such a larger view of this mission. I dont think I have ever heard them speak without first, expresing their love for each other, second, bearing testimony of the book of mormon, and third, bearing testimony that this mission will have a direct influence in our lives and for eternity. And then they help us see how. It was bitter sweet. It was the last time they will talk to the whole mission together. And they knew that. Sister Hawks spoke entirely on families and her testimony on how to have strength in our future families. And President Hawks shared a few more things. He showed us video footage of when he flew with the Blue Angels. It was super funny. But his point was that this is a once in a life time opportunity. and don't you dare quit or let go or give up. He was doing everything he cold not to pass out or throw up, and he related that to us. He then threatened us about the incoming mission president. "Don't you dare take advantage of them." "Hong Kong is growing." "We have several wards splitting in these next few months, and a few stakes coming soon." And then he showed us the John R Moyle Story. That is my favorite all time story. I love it. I have a lot of favorite stories. But it is so good. That's the park we were going to have our reception in, by the way. I dont really care who I marry anymore, but I think I still want a reception at that park haha.
I apologize, I need to go. I will fill you in better next week. I love you very much
