Seguimos trabajando en la obra del Señor! Things have been great!
The mission keeps teaching a bazillion lessons and a lot of patience!
This week I had my first garbage burn of the mission. We just took
everything out and burned it on the side of the house.
Definitely not in the States!
Well, yesterday, the family from Talmiche, Alfredo and Migdalia,
came to church even though we hadn't really visited them for a couple
weeks. We decided to drop them for a little bit, and they came to
church. We told them that if they came to church by
themselves we could help them get back home. They only have a little
motorcycle and it isn't in the best of shape. They live on the top of a
mountain, so it is easy for them to get down, but the motorcycle can't
get them all back up. I feel kinda bad for them.
They live in a 3 room adobe house. One room is the kitchen and they have
a wood burning stove, in another room they have the two beds and the
black and white TV, they also put the moto in there at night; and I am
not sure what they have the third room for.
They don't have any running water there, they always have to go down to
the river and haul it back up. I am not sure where they shower, either.
Things are really tough for them. Alfredo just lost his job, and so they
have a lot of necesidades right now. There
are a lot of windows of opportunity that we can use. I love the family
and Alfredo is really awesome.
The members of this ward are really awesome. A lot of them are
really successful and they seriously inspire me to be better everyday.
There are a lot of returned missionaries that were very successful in
the mission and they are always willing to give
a few words. There are a few in particular that are great teachers and
great friends. One is named Eduardo and he served in El Salvador. He was
an assistant there, and I realized why yesterday. He came out to work
with us and he is a great teacher. No is he
a great teacher with the people, but also with us. He had a few ideas,
and he was able to suggest them without offending us. I really loved it.
Another one is Carlos. He is an awesome friend. He knows english very
well. He has helped me to be able to deal with
all the situations. The Lord puts people in our way for a reason. He
helps us through them.
I know that this church is true and that this is the only way to
true happiness. I love you all and thank you all for your support. Be
the person that the Lord needs. We all have made the baptismal covenant
and as it is described in Mosiah 18, we are representatives
of him at all times. Even though, in Utah, it may seem something usual.
We are not usual! We are all part of the work of the Lord and we are all
headed for something better! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Hilton
