Dear Family and Friends,

Things are always good, here. I have transfers tomorrow and my companion, Elder Perez, is going to train. I do not know where I am going to go, but I would like to go to Momostenango or Huehuetenango. However, we shall see with time. Last night, we said goodbye to many members, including our mom, here. She can't really speak spanish, but has a ton of kids. She has always washed our clothes and fed us, A LOT! It was really hard to say goodbye to them, I really love em. 

Now, for more update! On Tuesday, we found a new investigator named Santa (Claus). Her name really is Santa, but she has not been baptized and does not go to any church. It was kinda crazy. So we visited her on Wednesday and had the best lesson that I have had in the mission. We were seriously guided by the Spirit. I felt at times that there were things that I had to say, and I said them. There were also times that I felt like my tongue was tied and my comp spoke. I really loved it. However, there are a couple problems with her. Her husband lives in the states and has to ask his permission. Her whole family is evangelical (more difficult to convince than Catholics). We went back Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They said that she wasn't there. Who knows if she really wasn't there? It is kinda tough because we know that it could help her a ton. She really loves her husband and wants to be with him forever, but it is just tough. A lot of people have a strong hold on the things of Satan. Hopefully my comp and his "kid" are able to baptize her.

We are working with some other people now as well. On Thursday, we found these people that we have been wanting to work with for a long time. I think we visited them one time in October, but never went back. We learned that they were positive and have been wanting to go back, but we couldn't find them in the house. Their mom, Ana, doesn't speak spanish and is usually the only one in the house. The people that we are working with are named Adalaida, her little brother Cornelio, and their cousin Mauricia. They are all really nice and really fun to be around. Cornelio and Adalaida are really positive and understand everything that we understand. It is kinda tough to find people that understand about apostasies and the church of Christ. On Saturday, we explained the Restauration and they understood! They are going to pray about everything, which is way awesome.

Things are going really well. I love the work and know that it is the great and marvelous work of the Lord. I love you all and thank you for your support!

Love,

Elder Hilton

P.S. the movie on dropbox from this week is of a little guy that came out of the faucet. NICE!!! It is a really good thing that we don't drink that water!
