What a week! It was kind of slow in terms of lessons, but the end of the week was my favorite by far. We found some great families this week. Geoffrey and Gladis, Robert and Maria, David and Jackie, and a couple others. We have been seeing the Lord's hand in our work, especially the last couple of weeks. Families are progressing!! It is so great to see these people want to change their lives. I told you guys about how our church attendance was struggling and how investigators weren't coming to church, but it's all changing. It just shows if we continue to have a good attitude and work hard and be obedient, the Lord WILL bless us. The last two week in church have been amazing! The best weeks we have had. Yesterday, was a bit better than last week. I'm not going to say how many people or how many investigators came, but every single chair in the chapel was filled. We can see the miracle that the Lord is doing in this branch and I am so happy to have the privilege to watch him do so. Don't get me wrong, me and Elder Majawa are doing what we are supposed to be doing, but I know that this success is in no way because of us. As I'm writing I realize that this might sound like I am boasting, but in the words of Alma, "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my own strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
Well, I don't have much else to say. I love the work, I love the Book of Mormon, and I love all of you. I hope all is well back home and that you are preparing yourself for Christmas. While it's getting cooler over there it's getting hotter over here. What family in need are you going to help this Christmas? Have a great week.
Love, Elder Hawk
