"Hey family p-day got changed to Saturday this week because of Dieciocho. For those of you who don´t know about Dieciocho It is Chile´s Independance Day and boooooy do they go all out ! There are flags everywhere , drunks too, but its going to be so sweet ! On Dieciocho we are visiting a bunch of investigators and members and just eating all day. Empanadas, Asadas, Pichangas, Sopaipillas, Papas, Completos, Arroz, EVERYTHING ! We aren't even allowed to "work" or anything these next few days, and only go to appointments where the people know we are coming. No contacts, tracting, knocking doors-ness, only fixed appointments. So I am going to be getting a lot of food and a lot of studying done these next few days haha. I am so stoked ! And we have a lot of citas this next week too so it´s gonna be great ! Everyone down here gets like the whole week off, and practically nothing is open like maybe one store in all of chile, so that´s why we (and the rest of Chile) are doing shopping today hahaha.

Anywho so no time I gotta make this quick. Don´t send
packages they are expensive, unless you really want to, but seriously
they be crazy letters are fine. Thanks for the music Cody and Sally
those songs make my mornings even better. I was rocking out to be still,
streets of Philadelphia (The streets are filled with their feear-uh
:P) and that happy love your brother song that we rocked out to Cody
and Jaquelynne. Thanks for all your support and your letters and Whit I
just got all your letters from the MTC I LOVE YOU TOO !!!!! I will write
real letters to you all this week.
We taught a bunch of new people this week who are
allllllll exceptional and I can't tell too much but one thing I will say
is my patience has been tried this week and I came out on top. My
companion is having a really hard time though hahaha he's praying for
patience. We had a lesson last night where I invited someone to be
baptized and totally felt prompted to and after I did the wife kept
adding tangents and interrupting his response. We asked him 5 times and
every time she interrupted SO LAME but i saw in his eyes that he wants to
and that´s all that matters. Oh and our bathroom flooded this morning
bahaha. Patience is a virtue, so develop it people.
Anywho I love you all and I will keep you in my prayers. Church is true people - so follow it.
-LOVE
Elder Hawkins"
