Hey I wnated to start off apalagizing for last week. We had

The extension has been incredible, honestly one of the best
decisions I have ever made in my life :) we are travling zone leaders asigned
to the zone of caseros. This zone has always been know for how hard it is and
for having alot of dificulties... That was the past though, these 2 weeks have
been sacred. We have been working so harrd and focused and we have seriosuly
been all over the place, going form area to area, meeting to exchange and
everything in between. Its been an amzing time though and the zone is absoluly
been exploding, a zone that is known for baptising less than 10 a momnth is
going to have more than 20 this weekend! Vamos CAseros ! Its been incredle
though, seriously the time of my life out here and we have seen so many
miracles its incredible. I cant wait to tell you all the stories ! not yet

line of the best 2 years ( 1 corinthians 9

Family :) how you are guys? How
are things out in the states... Hope all is well and that you holding in there
( and still reading my emails I send you guys :) )
This week was super Great. We
saw a lot of miracles out here in the area and zone and we were super blessed
to be able to see conference out here. I’ll start off by telling a story that
happened here on Sunday... SO we get to watch the sessions live and the first
session starts at 1 in the afternoon Argentina time, We are out in the streets
early all planes worked out to eat lunch with this amazing Bolvisn family and
then right after we were all going to go to conference. So were eating and
everything is looking good, we take a taxi over to the church and on our way we
just keep talking it up, how great it was going to be, the prophet everything (
all these people aren’t members). We get to the church though and walk in there
to see that there is no electricity. It rained a ton this weekend and
apparently all of the center had no light, We’re in there waiting talking for a
while, the ward and all the investigators and the time starts to tick by, were
all waiting, we knew that conference was going to somehow be seen in the
branch, give this about 40 minutes and the people , honorable ward members
start losing their faith and hope, and ever more than that start complaining
and even start leaving. The branch President even was kind of mad.... Me and my
companion go to the bathroom and immediately say a prayer, asking for this
miracle... We go back and as were going back to the sacrament meeting room I
had an idea, We start exciting the people and telling them were going to have
a few talks a hymn and a prayer by the missionaries. This was completely
improvised, so we kind of calm the people down and my companions sets a little
minute up in his agenda and we start the meeting, we had a prayer and hymn and
then we go into the talks that in no way were previously prepared.... one talk
form my companion turns into another improvised by a member and the spirit at
this point is really strong in the room. The meeting was about another 25
minutes... during the last talk though is when it happened, the light went back
on :)) we were all amazed and then we were able to watch the conference in
peace as well as for the second session as well..... There are a few things
that really grew my testimony here that I want to share with you, The Lord will
not do any miracle for us until after we do all that we can do. I’ve learned
that so much out here in the mission and even more yesterday. Next is that
there is a special power in a good attitude and animating the people to
remember the Lord, we saw that , every was complaining and leaving, even some
of the investigators, me and my companion, with our small efforts were able to
make the difference and help many others hear the words of the Prophet and the
apostles. If we would have just let it go, everyone would have left and no
one would have been able to feel that changing experience to se conference. It
was great, and even better we were all a s a branch able to recognize the
miracle the Lord had done for us and were all so grateful at what we had done
together as a branch :)..... Conference was great through and I just wanted to
share that little experience with you guys.
IM doing good though, staying
focused and working hard as ever out here, we were super blessed to bring a
bunch of people to conference and things are looking good for the zone
and area for this month as well.... It looks like this is going to be my last p
day out there, We have transfer meeting Wednesday and it looked like me and
elder Kalmar ( me and my buddy form my group that are extending) are going to
get special assignments throughout the mission, as to what that is, i have no
idea ha ha I’ll let you know though next week for sure :) its going to be a
good week though, we have the transfer meeting and then the mission tour!! oh
ya :) we get to go all over capital , it’s going to be great :) .... But I’m
excited more than anything for my 3 extra weeks I’ll have to work, I’ll be
focused and I know there’s something else that I have to do out here before I
leave :)
I miss and Love you guys and
can’t wait to see you... not yet though :) May first will come up quick though
so no worries :)
Know that I know this work
really is the work of the Lord. I know that miracles are real and I know that
our father in heaven knows us each individually. I know that all he wants is
the best for us and for that reason he gives us opportunities to attain just
that "the best" every day. We have to recognize them though and do
what it takes to complete with the Lord and allow him to bless and help
us. The mission is the best thing ever and the best decision I have ever made.
I know the atonement is real and I know that anyone can change and better their
lives :)
I hope you guys have an awesome
week. Know I love you and know you’re in my thoughts and prayers :)
Aloha,
Elder HAwkey

Hola familia! Que tal? Como
andan?
Things out here are going
great, betetr than ever, literally. We had a huge week last week as a
companionship and as a zone. We worked super hard and we were super blessed
with a baptismal servise and on top of that the Lord blessed us and helped us
set a new record, bringing 15 investigators to sacrement meeting. It was a
great Sunday and we packed em in there, ha ha its funny because our building is
super small, literally about half the soze of the welton branch and we had like
120 ppeople in a little salon in Sacrement meeitng.. The best feeling ever! to
be sitting there woth a huge group of ourt investigators and then looking up to
see recent converts on all sides and helping in the servise.... words cannot be
siad to how i flet yesterday anbd how I continue to feel about the Sacred work
here in Chivilcoy. I cant wait for you guys to meet ll these peoeple and and
see the branch out here, its absoluly insane.
Were moee focused than ever and
thats the truth... Its MArch madness out here in the best mission in the world
and we have 2 weekdns left. We expext to see about 30 more baptisms in the zone
and about 10 more in our companionship. There is no beter time in the misosn than
now and we are all feeling it.... We had a zone confrense this last Friday with
us and Chivilcoy South, President and the assistants came out and we really
feel this vibe throuhgout the whole mission... Its hard to explain but our
misoin publishes the results form each week to every misosinary each week. We
are literally seeing our hard work pay off and history in the making out here
in Buenos Aires. President keeps us animated and were all lokking forward to a
huge last 2 weeks of MArch Madness!!! VAmos Todavia!!!
All this beeing said, behind
all the numbers are the poeple, and thats what were about in this misison and
thats what Elder HAwkey, Elder Valdes , and Chivilcoy Norte is about! Helping
them, our brothers and sister come to the knowledge of the truth and come to
sing the sweet song of Joy that can only come thoguh the atonement of our
Savior Jesus Christ. Thats what I live for, to be part of this great and sacred
work and to literaly invite ALL others to come unto Christ. I love being a
misisonary and I am enjoying every minute of it out here!
KNow your in my thoguhts and
prayers, keep eberyone in your as well. Theres alot of work to still be done
but I can asure you that well get it done out here, as to our own strength were
weak, but we know that in Chivilcoy and Buenos Aires, all things are possible
with The help of the Lord.
I invite you all to think about
these things and take the next step in your lives to come unto Christ and to
help in his great work. There are opportunities every day to do something to
help in the misosnary work. Pray for the spiritual eyues to recognoze it and I
promise you will see a literal change for the best in the lives of others and
yourselves. RLook for the opportunities and then dont hold back, Just do it !
CAnt wait to share msison
stories and picturees with you guys ;)..... not yet thoguh :)

sunday morning and eevbrythings good, their ready for church and super excited,
we call a taxi and we help the mom get her kids in and everything and then we
go off to lok for another family in the bikes, planning to meeet up with this
family at church. We get there and their no where to be found, we call the taxi
place and they said the dropped them off at teh church and that it anst their
problem. Its an amazing fmaily and i knew it had to be some sort of mistake and
to be hoinest i was super worried about them because it was their first sunday
at church as well.... a thoguht came to mind and then i realized it.... maybe
the taxi driver droped them off at the evangelist chyurch half a block up form
our church by accident.... so we walk over there and a gorl comes out kinda
confused, we ask her to check if there is a bolvian lady in there with 3 little
girls.... we wait a while and she comes out teling us their inside ha ha we
dont know what top do, so we tyr to walk in and a women pastor tells us and
gets mad at us.... the pastor is in their on stage saying like whatever and
yelling at the congregation so this lay takes us back outside so we can talk...
she tries to pull it on us and make us feel bad " my husband is in there
giving a semen about jesus christ and how he is here to help us in our daily
strugles, hte sister is very intrested in listening, if you want ill call her
but we realy dont want to bother her"... she was geting a little fisty
with us... we wweree strong thoguh and we told her to call the family.... we
wait another little while and out comes the family, super confused but super
happy to see us. She was teling us how it scraared her daughters an how she
hgad no idea what was going on.... we walked together to the real true church
and started off sacreement meeting with an amazing sprit...... she loved it.

Family :)
Its been a little while since
iv writen a fmaily letter so I hope this goes well and i hope you gus are still
reaidng these things ha ha. Alot has happened since we last talked and even
more this last weekend. All good things that i cant wait to tell you guys all
about. Im goining to keep it kinda short today but know you all have letters
coming out your way in the mail and that you will hear all about everything one
day .
So it starts today, my last
real /full transfer as a missionrry. With the extensiion I hvae 10 weeks left
out here and ill be coming home may 2. Thus beiung said, please keep the
coments to yourself and continue to support and help me stay focused ( and not
trunky) to the very last day. Is that cool family? Seriously thank you guys, it
will help me out a ton and this is seruiously going to be an amazing time out
here :)
So my last transfer im staying
togetehr with Elder VAldes and were still workiong out here in chivilcoy, we
have been working so hard out here and its been incredible the mirackles that
we have been so blessed to see. We finshed off feburary strong this last
weekend with 4 baptism and 2 weddings! ha ha we got to be the witneses and
everything, ha ha such a crazy/ great experiense! We had an amazing month
though on a companionship, and zone level, not to mention the branch. The zone
finished off super well and we were super bleseed to help many come unto Christ
and to set the example for the mssion finishing off in the number one spot.
There such a sense of work and excitment throuhout the zone and we have all
been seeing so many miracles, its been incredible... The branch, wow. what just
5 months ago was a small group of the most dedicated 25 members in chivivlcoy
we have all beenw orking super hard and seeing so much growth. This past sunday
we werer able to have a recored high 114 in sacrement meeting! Such a miracle
and such a blessing. Its the best time more than evber to be out here in
chivilcoy and werer taking advantage of evry single minute of it.
So thats prety much whats going
on in my life right now and I cant wait to tell you guys even more about all
thats happening and all thats happened out here. IM staying focussed out here
and i can say with all my heart im working harder than i ever have before. I
feel good and am doign everything in my power to help our father in heaven in
this sacred work in the salvation of his children. I love ebing a
missionary and i Will be giving it everything i have until the bittere end of
this sacred mission. I know trhe church is true. I know this is the mnost
important thing that we could ever be diong in our lives. I know that God knows
and loves each one of his chilcdren individually and that all he wants is
the best for each and every one of us. I know miracles are real, andf i want
you to know that that comes directly from my heart, true life miracles
are real! I know that but iv learned that espesially as misisonaries is only
given an opportunitiy to see a miracle form the Lord to happen., and if it
actually happens, if the blessings are actually given to the people is only
thgouh the faith, diligense and hard work we put into making sure it happens.
We are in every sense servants of the Lord doing, doing thw woirk of the Lord
so that he CAn do the miracle for his children. I love being a misoisnary and i
hope you guys know that. I Love guys and pray for you evbery day, know thoguh
that all is well thoguh and that im living it up out here in the best 2 years
of my entire life!
With love, hard work, weddings,
and of corse, many baptisms form the best msison in the world!

Yo el senor estoy OBLIGADO cuando haceis lo que os digo, mas cuando no haceis
lo que os digo, ninguna promese teneis.... If you can understand that ( Bien
Aye ;) ) if not lok it up.... Its talking about thoguh how the lord is
literally obligated to give us blessigs when we complete with him. And its so
true, iv seen it so amny time sout here in myself and with our investigators.
He will do real life miracles, BUT we ahve to be williing to do what it takes.
Ans that is the great trial of life, to really see if we are willing to do jsut
that, humbly obey. I can tell you form personal experiense that its worth it :)
I Love being a misisonary and
there is no greater time then now out here in the best msison in the world ;)
Miaralcesa are real and they are happening daily, this is the work of the Lord,
we really are his representatives, familes can be together forever and more
than anything I know that This is the one and only true church on the earth and
the only way to obtain the oeace and happiness that we all need and look for.
Ill finish with a short story,
just yesterday we finsh p church and start to help our inverstigatos get home.
As were finishing things up and waiting to talk with our branch President, I
feel impressed to talk to a sister and ask her if she needs anyhting and
posibly if we could come over top her ouse for lunch ( you know how we
misisonaries are) She accepts and about half hour later we meet at here house,
an aamaizing lunch and as we get to taslkig we realized thast everything
happens for a reason. We got to talking about how she really needed help right
now and that she missed so bad her son that was serving a mission and that more
than anything she jsut prayed that she could find a way to help her son. We
talked about how as she has given to one of us, she has supported all of us and
more importantly served the Lord in his great work. It was a very spiritual
experioense athat really helped me to see how the Lord really does answer prayers
, allways..... look for his help , pray and ask for his guidanse and support
and he will always give it, support the missionary efforts in your areas and i
can humbly tell you it means the world to a sevrant of the Lord with so
much to handle. I Love you guys and hope you can feel it as you read this email
