Haha
when we are contacting and someone lets us in and we teach them a
lesson, when we leave and once we get in the street I sing this….”I
Believe I Can Fly”. Well this week has been super good. I first want to
talk about General Conference. General Conference is the best thing
ever. I know that when I was younger I always just took a nap but I wish
that I would've payed more attention because of how great of a thing it
is for everyone. It can answer any question you have and can answer
questions you didn’t even know you had. When I hear the prophet and his
apostles speak I know that the church is true and that through the
church we can find happiness. I really like the talk about Joy. It was
by Russell M Nelson, if you didn't get a chance to hear it please go
listen to it. Haha this week was so great but also really hard. Like
every week.
This
week I was on an exchange with Elder Lara in a completely different
area. We were walking back to the place where we were going to pick up
the bus and we were walking on a huge long railroad track. I wish I
would’ve had my camera because it was pretty cool, but anyways we were
walking and I was looking around and saw a house and I felt strongly
that we needed to go to that house. I kind of started walking over but
then I realized that Elder Lara was way ahead of me and we were kind of
in a hurry so I kind of just brushed it off. The thought came again so I
turned around and Elder Lara saw me and asked what was up. I told him
that we should go down to that house and he happily agreed. We went down
to the house and knocked and a lady answered and came out and she was
obviously upset. We talked further with her and she told us that she has
things in her life with her family going wrong and she had no idea what
to do. We taught her the plan of salvation and she immediately
accepted. It was so great. I know the church is true.
Haha
a funny story is that we were at the house of a family eating lunch and
the dad speaks pretty good English since he works for the radio and the
son is learning English. The dad asked me if I would say a prayer over
the food in English so his son could learn. I was saying it in English
and all was going great and then I just started saying it in half
Spanish and half English and my brain was so confused. Haha it was
frustrating but also a miracle at the same time.
The
food is so great here. I am definitely getting chubby. Oh man it
doesn’t matter how much you work out when you eat 16 tacos in one
sitting. Haha the people just keep bringing food out and it’s not a bad
thing because it is so good but sometimes it’s just so much. I tried a
new fruit also. Called a tuna…so good. I bought some at the store, they
are super cheap. They are the fruit from the inside of a cactus.
I
know the church is true. I love you guys. I don’t know if I’m going to
be able to send pictures. The computer is acting up. I will send double
next week though!
Love you guys! Elder Hawley!
