This is it.

The week was good! Julius and Moreen were baptized! It was a really good week. I feel satisfied that I did all I could. This was one of the most successful transfers I have ever had.

Well, I can say that my mission has been the single greatest experience of my entire life. Being a missionary was one of the most difficult yet rewarding things I have ever done. It came to an end very quickly, in fact I have not fully accepted the fact that I am coming home this week. I appreciate all those that have been reading my emails and hope I was able to keep you entertained and more importantly that you were able to learn something or feel the Spirit of the Lord as you read. I am grateful to the Lord for letting me have the privilege of being a part of the work. The fact is that he doesn't need us, he didn't need me. However, he allowed me to take part in seeing the greatest work on this earth be done.

I know that this church is true, beyond any doubt in my mind. I testify that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and that he truly saw God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, in that grove of trees that day in 1820. I know that he translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. I know that the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on Earth. Above all else, I know that God loves his children. I know that he loves us so much that he sent his Only Begotten Son to come and die for us so that we could one day live with him again. I know that it is only through that Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we can be clean from sin. I love the people of Uganda more than I thought I could or would, and it has changed my life forever. I will never be the same. I love you all.

Love, Elder Hawk
