Missionary Moments from Elder Seth Hilton: First Week in Huehuetenango, January 21, 2013

Dear family and friends!

After many days and bearing a child in Nahaula, I had transfers to a land called Huehuetenango (pronounced way-way-ta-nango)! Haha things are really good here in Huehue. My new companion's name is Elder Ayala from Tabasco, Mexico. He is really funny, and really fun to be around. The new area is really sweet. It's called Victoria. There are like 3 zones in all of Huehue, so it's pretty populated. I never thought that Spanish could be so beautiful! Here everybody speaks Spanish, but they speak a lot faster than the people in Nahuala. It has been kinda hard trying to understand what everybody is saying now, but I think that I am about used to it. Everybody here can read, that is a huge advantage. One lady read pretty slow, but she understood! The area is really nice, there are quite a few members with REALLY nice houses. I haven't gone in a single adobe house yet, but we'll see what time has in store for us. The food here is wonderful. I had the best meal in my mission this week! Things are really different here; it is a whole new world!

I imagine that there will be a lot of new different challenges, here. But, I am really excited to take em on.

There are a few people that we are working with. One is the father of a bunch of members. He name is Amilcar. He has a problem with his leg and it is kinda tough for him to walk. He says that he wants to get baptized, but wants to put the date. He says that he doesn't want to get baptized and then fall away. It is kinda the same story as with Salvador and his family from Nahualá. Maybe he is missing a real testimony, or faith to take the first step. He is the most positive investigador that we have right now, but I have gotta go. I am so grateful for all your prayers and love. Thank you for your support!

Love,

Elder Hilton
