Well, It was a really great week! Got my new comp, did some awesome
service, and burnt a shirt for my year mark!
My Companion is Elder Hart from Logan, Utah. He has been on his
mission for almost 19 months! We are getting along great. We have many
things in common. I am excited for what the next weeks will bring for
us.
I did some of the most fun and hard service so far on my mission this
week. We were making mud bricks. What they do is you form them, (see
attached pictures) then you stack them and bake them. It is what
almost all of the houses here are made of. Either that alone, or then
they cover with cement, or straight mud and sticks.
So this next week we are going to hopefully have the baptism of Zaina.
She is super prepared and I am super excited for her. We also have
Jackson who is coming up on the 9th and a family of Beatrice and her
two daughters, Natasha, and Zam as well as George on the 16th. It is
going to be a very eventful transfer hopefully.
I also burnt a shirt for my year mark with Elder Foster. It was so
satisfying! Crazy to think I have been out here for that long. Time
flies. I hope I can make the next year just as fun filled and hard as
the first.
I love you all and hope you have a great week! Keep on smiling!
Love, Elder Hawk
You know you've been in Africa for a year when you eat sweet potato
and g-nut sauce in a mud and stick house with no electricity and you
don't even think twice about it.
I wanted to send many pics, but the internet is not agreeing with me.
So here are some of bricks and burning shirts:
