Well, just a regular week! Ate big on Thanksgiving. Had a good week of missionary work, many new investigators and people progressing. The branch is also making big progress!! It is amazing to see how much it has grown since I have been here. I love it.
Also, we had a mission tour today. Elder Hamilton, the Africa Southeast area President, came and spoke to us today! It was so amazing to hear him speak to us and counsel us in the work and in our lives. It was so inspiring. One thing he talked about was how in order to have faith you must act, which is obedience. Then this obedience brings a power into our lives, which in turn brings miracles. I can't give it the justice that it deserves, but it was awesome. Also, this is a little more missionary centered, but can be applied to all of us, is how we need to be constantly finding. He said something that kind of hit me. He said that we need to make talking to people about the gospel needs to be like breathing. We do it so much that it just becomes natural. We don't have to just walk up to people and say," Hey, I have the truth and you need to listen to me!" But we can apply it to what they need. We can apply it in their lives and they will be more inclined to listen.
Well, I hope that made sense. Either way it helped me out a lot and gave me a new flame and desire to preach this gospel to the best of my ability! I love you all! Share the gospel with One friend before Christmas. And pray for strength to do so!
Love, Elder Hawk
You know you're in Africa when you see lizard climb up the wall during a conference in a chapel.

Forgot to mention, but two children of record were baptised, who I am close with, and one chose me to baptise and the other asked me to give the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Really cool experience!
