I am in Jackson, Wyoming, it is a lot of fun! I have not even been out a full week and me and my companion, Elder Adkins from Ohio, already have had a baptism. We had it on Saturday. We had to speak at the baptism. We have another baptism next Saturday. I have enjoyed this town in Wyoming a lot. We travel to Idaho Falls a lot for meetings. I am excited to be out in the mission, I love it. The weather is a lot cooler than in Tucson. I really enjoy my mission a lot, and I miss all of guys a lot. I live with two other Elders, they are Spanish speaking. I ran into Elder Miller from Alabama, if you remember he was in our branch back in Alabama.. People really treat us well here in Jackson. I do not know where I would be without this gospel. I love this Gospel. It's crazy to think that I am on this mission. God and Jesus Christ sent me for a reason. I love all of you. I need sports updates, not really, I will get that when I get back. I need to have a positive mind set for the next two years. I love you guys a lot and know I am praying for you guys each day and each night. We are great companion's. Elder Adkins has been out for about 4 and half months. He is still pretty new. I kind of miss the MTC, but not really because I know this is the right place to be for my mission. We are ready for anything. I know that I got sent here for a reason.
LOVE, ELDER HAWKINS

ReplyDeleteSo glad you are starting out on your mission with the greatest of attitudes and optimism about your purpose.
When it comes time for you to do your volunteer work don't forget the Grand Teton Council of the BSA in Idaho Falls. (look up David Widdison)
