July 6, 2010 - First Letter

Dear family,

Well i made it.  Today is pday and we went to the temple. It was awesome. and Oklahoma is the BEST place to live. my eyes were opened because of the poverty here. not everywhere, but i saw some people living in shacks. im so grateful for the house i have and to live in the united states.   



i like being in class a lot and doing personal study. I love learning about the gospel and how to teach the gospel and even learning the language. 
   
my companion is elder anderson from washington. 


we have a devotional on tuesdays and a fireside on sundays. i saw a district leave for their missions this morning and it has made me excited to get out  haha. 


the food is good. beans and rice every lunch and dinner haha. breakfast is wierd. they have rolls, ham, and cheese. sometimes cereal haha. 


tomorrow we have to wake up at 4 am to go to the federal police to get registered. they only serve 100 people a day and we have to get in line. it doesnt open until 730.

i love this gospel. i pray for you guys every day. stay strong in the gospel and spend time with each other. i will write more details about the mtc next week for sure. 


i love you                                              
Elder Hawkley
