Bienvenidos al 'blog' de la mision! We hope you enjoy looking through the pictures of former companions and old friends, and how they have changed or 'increased' in #s, since they took off that black badge. I think the Hawkins family wins the 'most expanded family #s award', and I'm sure they are rightfully proud. If you have any recent photos to share (especially if there are more 'family additions' or other milestones reached in your lives), or know of old companions/friends who are not posted here, please spread the word so we may all remember our time together in the best mission in the world-Chile Concepcion South!

A place to reminisce and stay in touch with old friends and old memories. Please leave a comment, connect with an old friend and send pictures of your own to share with others to: lachilena.king@gmail.com or ihawkins@chilemission.com After our service in the mission field, we were privileged to visit with President Hawkins one last time in his office on O'Higgins street and he gave us a book mark titled:
"Auto-Analisis Semanal" -Oro diariamente. Me encuentro frecuentemente vertiendo mi corazon a mi Padre Celestial. -Leo y medito las escrituras diariamente. -Escucho y leo discursos de las conferencias generales. -Observo un ayuno mensual y hago en otras ocasiones cuando la necesidad lo requiera. -Asisto a todas mis reuniones. -Pago un diezmo honrado. -Observo la palabra de sabiduria. -Soy moralmente limpio en pensamientos y hechos. -Sigo el consejo de los lideres de la Iglesia. -No veo television ni peliculas que no son apropiadas. -Observo el dia de reposo. -Me arrepiento periodica y frecuentemente, sobre todo del enojo, impaciencia, sarcasmo y cinismo. -Me esfuerzo para evitar el enojo y la contencion, y trato de adquirir caridad Cristiana. -Asisto al templo regularmente, y he descubierto que es una fuente mayor de poder en mi vida.
"Y yo, Nefi, subia con frecuencia al monte y a menudo oraba al senor; por lo que el senor me manifesto' grandes cosas."
