Time flies! This was kind of a slow week for the work, but there were some good and bad things. Tuesday I felt horrible. I was super sick. I called Elder Chabra and I had to stay home. It wasn't fun. The next day I was feeling a little better. We went to Zone Conference, the last one with President Chatfield. It was super powerful. He is the man. He talked about how in life we have these small things in life that keep us from reaching our full potential. We need to strip ourselves of pride and be willing to change those small things so that we can reach our full potential.
The next day I read in Ether 12:27 about how if we humble ourselves before the Lord he will make weak things strong. The Lord gives us these weaknesses to humble us. In Alma 32 it talks about how we either choose to be humbled or the Lord will humble us. If we choose to be humble we receive more blessings than if the Lord humbles us. It is especially important to humble yourself in the mission field. It isn't just our salvation that is at stake, but those we are teaching the gospel.
On Thursday and Friday, not a lot happened. We are finding a lot more families, but none are very serious yet. Saturday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Le Cheminant . We were in the MTC together in the same District. We had a ton of fun that day! We were in his area and we had a lot of good lessons.
Well, thanks for all the support. I couldn't get through this without it! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love, Elder Hawk
