Here we are once again, another preparation day passing by! This
week has been very wonderful. Alfredo and Migdalia got married and
baptized!
We visited them everyday this week to try to get them ready for
their baptism. Things have been pretty awesome and crazy. To get up to
Talmiche, where they live. They basically live on top of a mountain. So
we jump on a little Toyota Tacoma to get up
there on the dirt road. Then,we do what we have to: bring water from the
river, chop wood, and teach. Once all is said and done, we go down...
on foot! That is something that might have been making me sick. So, on
Wednesday, I woke up with probably one of the
worst headaches I have ever had. IT was terrible, so we could not go out
and work. It was killing me because we had a killer day set up and
didn't get to do what we wanted. Thursday, everything was better, but
Elder Bench's eyes started acting up. He is allergic
to contact lenses, but continues using them because he doesn't like
glasses. Wednesday night, they decided to swell up on him and continued a
little swollen Thursday. He was still able to champ things out and we
got up to Talmiche to teach Alfredo and Migdalia.
To say the least, things were pretty crazy. On Saturday, we had
their marriage and baptism. We spent all week trying to get things
looking sweet for Alfredo and Migdalia, but when we showed up to the
church there was nobody there and we were supposed to
start in an hour. It wasn't decorated, and nobody was there to help
Migdalia with her hair and getting all ready. That caused quite a bit of
stress, but with time, everybody showed up and was able to get
everything ready. It turned out awesome! They looked
like champions! Alfredo isn't used to wearing a suit, but he did it for
the wedding and BOY! Did he look like a stud! Everything went well this
week.
We keep working with Amilcar and I think that he is going to get
baptized soon. He just needs the HUGE Book of Mormon. His eyes aren't
the best, but if he has gigantic letters he can read. That is what he
have got to do.
Thank you all for the prayers this last week, I really felt them in the moment that I need them most! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Hilton
