June 8, 2011 - Hey

Hey family,

Thanks for the email. Sounds like everybody is good. Sounds like Rachel is busy. Does she do all the chores by herself that Tyson her and i used to do?

Is Tyson living at home? where did he meet bro Poole?

Thanks for the pictures of PB&K (haha). Man that looks good!

Are you guys excited for girls camp and the reunion? I will have to write something for you guys to read there to everybody. Take a picture of me with you haha.

Thanks for the talk. I will read it soon.

Well things are going good here in the office. Yesterday we had a meeting with the Zone Leaders here in the office. It was good. Elder Ramos and I set some high goals for this week to leave the office early everyday and work super hard. But something always comes up. Some missionary always needs something and sometimes it is something that they really need and sometimes it is something really dumb. I got pretty frustrated yesterday that we didn't get to go out to our area very early. I know that I am here to serve the missionaries and I like it. But I know that we need to be in the area at 5 and Pres tells us that we should too. I want to be there. It's hard because I know we won't be able to meet our goals unless we get out there early every day. I'm doing good but it is something i'm trying to figure out.

We are going to have a baptism this sunday! We have been teaching taynã e taune. They are twins and are 19. We found them knocking doors. They went to church 2 sundays ago and the members were awesome. They really received them well and it made the difference. They accept all that we teach them. I think we are going to have a member baptize them which will be great for the ward. Our ward is awesome. The members are excited and there is a lot of unity. They are super willing to help.

This next week will be transfers so that will be busy and fun. Time is flying. Already 5 weeks as secretary haha. I love you

Elder Hawkley
