"P-day once again my friends, and I get to write to you woot!!! Sorry about last week not responding really hahaha I kind of got carried away in what happened last week and lost track of time so this time I am going to try to be short and sweet and then respond hahaha . But first real quick I did get the scarf sister Ritz and it´s awesome thank you so much :) And your guys´s new baby is a cutie, what happened though! He isn't blonde !!! hahaha as always I love your kids and can´t wait to come back and watch Quenguins with Mona haha.
OH and I have realized that all I have really said about Chile is I am in the ghetto, it´s gorgeous and the people are amazing. All true but there´s a lot I haven´t said. So we wake up study and do all that leave for our mamita´s house for lunch (huge meal here) there are 4 meals in Chile breakfast, lunch, 11 (once), and cena . Breakfast is the only normal one. Lunch is HUGE and once is always like hot chocolate and bread basically, and a small lunch for cena. OH ! and the bread here is legit. You know how I always ate the bread in the house, well Chileans do that too. They buy new bread like everyday hahahaha that´s how much they eat it . Their home made bread is really good here too I will have to get you a recipe. But basically what they eat here is a lot of bread, soup, rice, chicken, beans, LENTILS and it´s bomb. Meals always have a dessert too called postre and it´s normally just some fruit. PAPAYA is sooooo good!
Ummm we have 3 volcanoes here which is legit and we have the ocean and a sea around us here in puerto montt. It´s pretty rainy here but not like what I was expecting. It´s more of a neverending sprinkle/drizzle. sometimes the wind blows pretty crazy but the rain hasnot yet been hard at all.The way we get around everywhere is colectivos, which is basically like a taxi but with a set route and price. There´s buses and taxis too but colectivos are what´s up. Oh and our sector is huge so we use em a good amount. I think it´s pretty hilarious that I live in the ghetto but mine isn´t even the worst ghetto- for which I am very thankful because I heard some weird stories from the other elders. Oh you know how in the MTC it was a funnel on my mouth well out here I realized it was a funnel on my ears too. At first it was hard to understand but I could get the gist and now I understand most of it. Funnel on my mouth is going away little by little too. OH MY GOSH ! There are crazy spiders here people I have pictures and stuff that you are gonna flip out when you get em IT IS INSANE !!!! In other news our investigators are progressing, which I am so excited for. They have not been having much success here but now we are. The people are so receptive and loving ! I LOVE THESE PEOPLE !
How´s everything going with ya´ll ? Any exciting news.
HOLY KATIE AND ADAM ! You guys are seniors ! And Hunter you are a junior
! What´s up with that people! You are growing up so fast ! Well you
heard bishop, it´s up to you guys to start reaching out to your friends.
And don´t be afraid to do it. My first lesson here with a new
investigator I had to ask her to be baptized and the devil kept putting
doubts in my head - she wont say yes , she wont accept this, what if
she doesn't want this. And then the thought came to me, if you are
afraid to ask her to come unto Christ, then you don´t love her enough.
PALO !
You guys if you have been blessed with the gospel, you need to
share it- it is your duty.
2 Nephi 2:8 was my reason for going on my
mission, and it´s the reason you need to share the gospel too. How great
the importance my friends. If you really love those closest to you, you
will share the Gospel with them.
-I love you all gotta go but I will holler at ya´ll next week
love ELDER HAWKINS
PS I LOVE YOU GUYS"
