Hermana Hawkes in action...

So I’m going to tell u my life as being Hermana Hawkes in Argentina Cordoba. I wake up an hour early, which is 6 30, to study Spanish, I need all the help I can get. The first thing I do is workout for 30 minutes and then I get an hour to get ready and eat. Then I do personal study for 1 hour, which is study the book of Mormon(bom) / bible for 30 min and then preach my gospel (pmg) for 30 min. Then I study Spanish for 1 hour, which is reading the bom and pmg and writing down the words that I don’t know, which is a lot right now. But I’m getting better every day. Then study a grammar principle and other vocab. Then we do 1 hour of companion study. Which is sharing what we learned in personal study and then going over what we are going to teach people that day and then study pmg. Then from 10:30 to 12:30 we are teaching people or finding more people to teach. At 12:30 we have lunch with a member. Then 1:30 to 3 we study some more. We get 30 for studying Spanish and then an hour for dinner. We just use our hour for dinner right after lunch, because in Argentina everyone takes naps after lunch. For that hour I study some more Spanish or read a book. Then we go out and teach some more until 10. Then we come back and plan for the next day. And then in bed by 11. And that is my life as a missionary. I know it seems like we study a lot and then we are out teaching a lot, but it always seems like there is never enough time in the day to get every thing done that I want to get done. The days are just flying by. The 14th was my 3 month mark. Meaning in the mission I’m 3 years old. I can’t believe I have been out that long, it’s crazy. But I’m just loving life. So my house is really sweet. The house is about 10 by 15. There are two rooms, the bathroom and then the rest of the house. It is beautiful here the sky is so blue. The weather is a little weird. It gets really hot and humid and then we have a rain storm for about an hour, which floods the streets and then it gets sunny and hot again. I was on this bus the other day and there were so many people on it, a ton of people were standing and we were all smothered together. I think that is the closest I have been to some one of the opposite sex since I have been a missionary that was a little weird. If there is anything that u want to know feel free to write I love to get letters, hint hint.
Love u all Hermana Hawkes
