Holy Cow.
 
I literally have no words. Nothing to say besides the end is near. I'm
going to spend the last week working harder than ever before. Not
because I haven't been working hard but because it's what I need to
do.
 
Last week we had a really good week. We've been finding like crazy and
teaching a lot too. Elder Castro and I have changed a lot in this last
transfer. I've calmed down and am a little more serious and he's less
judgmental of others. Things are going well and progressing. We've
been having a lot of drama with the ward and it's been really
obnoxious. I've realized that in small branches where everybody's been
branch president and knows everybody else's problems it isn't the
best... However Elder Castro and I have learned from it and now we're
both better people because of it.
 
The new Dominican family's doing super well actually. They've been
reading and praying but they  couldn't come to church yesterday, so
next week! We have some other new people that came to church and it
turned out well. We met another famous guy from Colombia this week but
this time he's a painter! Haha hopefully he comes back and we can
keep on teaching him!
 
So today for p-day we went to a place with a bunch of caves and it was
super cool. We went with some members and the Hermanas and it was
super fun! Even though I haven't been here that long I've been able to
make good friends.
 
This next Monday I'm not going to be able to send a letter... So we'll
just see each other next Tuesday and talk then! I'm sooooo grateful
for the mission and everything that I've learned while being out here!
I love you all so much and thank you for what you've done and all of
your support!
 
Love,
Elder Hawks
