The light of Christ

I loved conference! That is so sweet that we are going to get a temple here. It is to bad that it’s not until after I leave. I will have to make it back someday. All of the talks were amazing. I liked President Monson’s talk a lot when he talked about how we need to enjoy life. Sometimes I try and do everything and I don't leave any time to have fun. Well I hope that you are all enjoying life. So I’m way excited my companion and I get to have our birthdays together. Hers is the 27th of Oct and mine is the 30th so that is going to be a lot of fun. This Friday the mission gets to hear from Elder Nelson from the Quorum of the 12. I’m way excited for that. I have a lot of pictures that I want to send but the computer isn’t working, I will try again next week.

Time is going by so fast I'm going to have 11 months tomorrow. It is really crazy. I was able to hear from Elder Nelson from the quorum of the 12 apostles this Friday. It was amazing! He let us ask him different question about the gospel. It was really neat to look into his eyes. You can tell that he is a man called of God. Him and his wife talked about how you can tell so much about a person just by looking in their eyes. The thing that we do and see each day reflects in our eyes. I want and hope that people can see the light of Christ through my eyes and each and everyone of yours. It was so great to hear from an apostle of the Lord. I'm so grateful to be a member of God's church and to serve him for a year and a half. My life has been really blessed. I can feel Gods love for me so strong right now. I'm just so happy.

Love, Hermana Hawkes
