Letter From Elder Hawks

Hello everybody,

How are all of you doing. I hope all is well and God is blessing you. We feel bless and we are grateful for you cards and letter or emails and face book things. For the past couple of months’ things seem to be moving along with us or without us. We told you about you about Elder Bednar’s visit and his new way of teaching. That is take the objects (the people) of your class and turn them into Agents which think and speak and have ideas. Then ask more questions, use more examples, involve your Agents and let everybody share.  Good advice, isn’t it?  We have been to the Temple a few times. We went one time with Senior missionary couples and went through a Korean session with earphones. It was wonderful and we enjoyed the spirit of the people. I got a family name to take though and so the kids of the Camp Humphreys did the baptism and ordaining. I left the name at the Temple and someone did the initiatory and I came back and did the Endowment and the sealing of Roy to his parent gave me the chilies. Another thing that was fantastic was going through a session seeing the film I had seen in 1990 when I was here last.  This film was a great change from what we had been watching before. It had music, the filming was better and Michael Ballam played in it. Going through the Temple that day remind me of the day long ago when I was in Korea before. We went to the Korea orphanage again. We did go last month. The BOSS group canceled the event last month October but we sure had fun playing with the kids. We played games and make fall scenes. The kids really had fun and so did we. We had a breakthrough in FHE this last week. Our regulars showed up but low and behold 3 more folks showed up which gave us 5 body. How wonderful how great and we were so happy. We have been having adventures on the bus lately. It seems to be faster some times and easier to deal with. We went to Osan church house and took 2 buses to get there. Good luck and God bless and Have a Merry Christmas.
