March 11, 2013

Hello family and friends!
Just a quick little update. This week has been kinda wild. My comp had transfers and that means that I have a new comp now. They called us on my birthday and to say the least, I was really happy. Now, my companion is Elder Bench and he is a great missionary. He is a really hard worker and he is awesome. He has been in the mission for 20 months. He has a lot of experience and has taught me a lot already. We just have to avoid the trunky factor! 
Thats how things are. Alfredo and Migdalia are going to get married and baptized on Saturday. I am really excited about that. They are really great and "pilas" That means that they are way awesome for the things of the church. He is always writing down all the scriptures and it is really awesome. We are also starting to work with his sisters, they came to church yesterday. Things are really exciting now.
Yesterday, we had ward conference and so all the members are way pilas and working hard to visit and to reactivate all the less actives and inactives. They are also a little more willing to come out and work with us, so thats' really good and excting. Also, Ronaldo came to church yesterday after skipping three week!  I think that he is going to get baptized soon. The only problem is that he his girlfriend is bringing him to church. However, if that is the way that he finds out about the church and that it is true, that is how it is.
Things are going pretty good. However, I have been getting sick lately. Last Sunday, I got sick, and then yesterday, too, I got sick again. My body just ached yesterday. I felt like a fever was coming on last night and was getting a wild headache. The headache followed me through the night and I keep going with a fever. It is kinda crazy, but things are moving forward! I love this work and love the blessings that it provides. When we have hard times, we may just have to remember the atonement of Christ. He suffered everything that we feel so that he can know how to succor his people best. All that we must do is kneel down before him in prayer. Thank you all for the love and support!
Love,
Elder Hilton

My birthday was great, thanks! We just worked like normal, I didn't want to really call a lot of attention. Right now, I am kinda sick. Yesterday my body ached like crazy and felt like a fever was coming on, but now i just have a raging headache. I will take my weight and height and let you know the results!
Yes, I have seen the water supply in Talmiche. It  is kinda sad. It is just a little bitty river-- maybe 15 feet at its widest and about a foot to a foot and half deep. That is where they get all their water and bathe and wash their clothes. It is kinda sad. Alfredo and Migdalia are awesome. They are getting married and baptized on Saturday. I am really excited about this! Yesterday, there were a few visitors in the ward-Ronaldo, he hasn't come for like 3 weeks; Alfredo and Migdalia and 2 of his sisters; and a friend of a member. It was a good day yesterday. .
