Okay, so last week I told you about Salvador and his family. They are still progressing. They read the Book of Mormon and have lots of questions! It is a rare thing that they can read, want to read, and question what they read! Right now, there are four people living in their house. Salvador, his wife--Micaela, Nikte--his daughter, Hector--his son, and Waykan--his other son. They are such a wonderful family and really wanna do what is right. Hector is like 14 and always is very interested in what we have. I really would like to see them get baptized and sealed in the temple. This week we showed them a video called "Together Forever." Salvador really learned from it and applied it to his own life. He also told us about another dream he had. It is crazy the control alcohol has over some people! So, this is the dream: he was just walking around or something and a friend offered to drink with him. Salvador told him that he was really trying to stop. The friend insisted, saying that he had a bottle of beer in his bag. Salvador told him that he didn't have anything, but the friend told him to check again. Salvador was sure that he didn't have any beer in his bag, but checked anyways. He found a bottle of beer and then woke up. You can interpret this dream any way you want, but I just thought about how Satan always has a way in!
The other family that we taught for the first time yesterday is really awesome, too. The wife, Maria, really wants to get baptized! The husband, Francisco, thought that too, but now isn't so sure. Or so say the members that we are working with. So we got to talk with him a little yesterday and he had a lot of tough questions for us! He is a really cool guy; he has worked in the states for like 12 years, so he knows some english, too. Our lesson was a tough one, it started raining really hard on their tin roof so we had to speak really loud and they didn't have a lot of time, so we also had to speak really fast. It was really cool and he seemed very interested!
Thank you for everything, I really do appreciate all the support! I love the Lord and realize the role of the Atonement more and more everyday. Love you mom, dad, family, and friends!
Love,
Elder Hilton
