Merry Christmas!
Hi family!
It seems like such a long time since I have talked to you
all! Don't worry about the phone calls, if they say something to me,
then we'll worry. No
worries about the second package, I am sure it will arrive.
That little Christmas getaway sounds like so much fun! And to visit
Logan, even better! Wow, the Hobbit is out now and Les Mis? I bet those
movies are just killer! Levi, congrats on the Eagle! Now comes the
driver's license!
Things
have been going really well here in the Guate! We baptized again on
Saturday; it has really been a cool experience. In our area, they
haven't baptized two weeks in a row for a long time, I don't know if
they ever have! It just goes to show obedience and hard work paying off.
With my "kid," we have worked our booties off everyday. I am super
tired a lot of the time, but it really is worth it. The girl we baptized
is named Catarina and she is working for the bishop's mom. The bishop's
mom has always made their workers come to church and many of them have
gotten baptized. Catarina lives pretty far away and we can't wait to
see the things that she does if she returns, but she has already caught
fire. It is really sweet.
On Friday, Salvador got drunk after 105 days of being sober, he
drank. We visited him last night and this morning. He is back to normal,
but I hope that this makes him think that he should get baptized. I
know that he will never drink again if he gets baptized. When we talked
with him this morning, he told us that he was still thinking about what
he was gonna do about the church. We have already seen that he is a
killer member, he just needs to get baptized! He didn't come to church
yesterday and that was the 4th time in 4 months that he hasn't come to
church. Returned missionaries: any suggestions??? We'll see what
happens.
We are working with other families as well. They are all relatives,
so there is a lot of work to be done! First, there is Antonio and
Maria. They are really awesome and they have 3 kids. Antonio loves the
Book of MOrmon, but can't bring hiimself to get baptized because in the
evangelical church they teach that it is a sin to get baptized more than
once. They do make a little sense, but they don't understand the
authority! Second, there are Diego and Manuela. Diego is Antonio's
brother. They sale things on Sundays, so we aren't working too hard with
them. Lastly, there are Diego and Manuela, (yes they do have the same
names!) This time Manuela is Antonio's and the first Diego's sister.
These guys are the first guys we contacted. They seemed pretty positive
and still are, but they just need to get over the second baptism
business... They said that they would pray about it, so there is a lot
of faith and hope that they will receive an answer.
Love,
Elder Hilton
