We went to Xela, so we had to take advantage of the opportunity.

Well, I had better get a little update off real quick. This week was kind of a tough week. On Monday, they called a few of us from the zone and told us that they wanted us to come translate in a "medical journey?" Not sure if that's what it really translates to, but we'll run with it! Basically tons of dentists and doctors came down to help do all the medical work for future missionaries. So, I went on Tuesday to help. At first, I started out in registration and that was way fun, I liked it more than any other station. Then, I went to help with teeth xrays and that was pretty fun. I met a girl named Brette(?) from Draper who goes to Alta High and she knew some kids that I know and that was pretty fun. Then, they took me to Dental assisting. Here they filled cleaned, filled cavities, root canals, and everything else but wisdom teeth. So, I successfully made it through one patient, then I wanted to push myself a little bit. Bad idea. I watched as the doctor gave the second patient the shot. This just resulted in a little light-headedness. I ended up just laying down and eating some chocolate. Before this they wanted me to go help with surgeries, where they were taking out the wisdom teeth. I told them, "nuh uh! There is no way I am going in there!" I finished up helping out with xrays. It was really fun and I loved it a lot!
We are starting to work with a little evangelical family. It is really funny. A family in our ward started working with them and thats the good part. The family in our ward said that they jsut know too much apostasy. the funny thing is that we have talked with the mother of the family many times. She told us that she is a cousin of the bishop and that dancing is a sin. The good thing is that she respects the family of the ward. She listens to them very well, when they go and teach. Well, I had better go. I really love this work and know that if we are obedient we are blessed. I love you all and thank you for your support!
Love,
Elder Hilton
