Hey Family,
How´s it going? Sounds like Thanksgiving was a blast! Thats awesome that you guys got to go there and see everybody. How is the new truck? Thats actaully really cool about Tyson and Kristy. Kristy (Sister Pfeifer?) is actually really well known in the mission. Every area that she served in the members love her. My companion arrived in the mission when she was leaving and even he knows about her. I hear shes super nice! Hope things continue to go well. Did you talk to her about the mission here?
About the ensign, don´t send it yet. There´s a really good chance that I will get one in english this week. If i dont receive one this week, you guys can send it next week. Thanks a ton though. I´ll let you know next week. This week the mission bought us a washing machine! HAHA, it is soooo much better than what we had. Its still not a washing machine like we have, but its super good. It does everything on its own. Its going to save me a lot of time on PDay.
I sent some pictures. These are some of the pictures from our hike. I also attached a picture of my foot. I think i have a fungus of some sort. It doesnt hurt or anything, but i think its growing a bit. Its just on the back of my heel, but on both feet. I´ll probably talk to Sister Prieto. But its all good. Maybe you guys can do a little research for me, haha.
Well this week was SUPER hot haha. I have never been so tired in my life too. The heat just sucks the energy out of you. I´m going to sleep for the first time on pday haha. I have a question for tyson and pehrson (who i havent received an email from in decades haha just kidding, but seriously). What did they do for water? I know that tyson just asked the members for water as he went and pehrson im thinking was water bottles. But i dont remember completely. They gave us a water bottle with filter in the CTM. It came with 2 filters, 1 for each year. The problem is that my first filter crapped out this week haha. I dont know if its possible to get another filter. I drank water at the members a little this week and im doing good. I had some diarhea yesterday and we arrived late to church HAHA. But pepto bismo makes everything better. haha. What are your thought/ideas?
Good job on the missionary work mom! As a missionary all I do is invite: invite people to come unto Christ. That is really all we can do. People have their agency. Continue to make small invitations. As you continue, you will lose your fear. Pray for courage and i know that the Lord will give it to you. He has given it to me. I love you all so much. I cannot wait for the Thanksgivings that we will have, but I know that this is where I need to be. It is a very hard thing. But I know that i cannot stop.
This week was a week of finding people to teach. We found some and are still looking.
Never stop living the gospel. I need to know that you guys are being obedient, and I know that you are. If we are all obedient and have the spirit with us, whatever happens doesnt matter. If we stay worthy, we will be together forever and be happy forever. You can have the joy you felt at Thanksgiving forever, and with all of our family and friends togethter. Never forget that perspective. I forget a lot and do a ton of stupid things. We all do. But do your best and the lord will do the rest. A phrase i learned in the CTM that i really like is:
Your best is good enough. But good enough is not your best.
I love you all more than I can express in this letter. Live the Gospel and Be Happy.
Elder Hawkley
