Missionary Moments from Elder Seth Hilton: Transfers this week

Dear family and friends,

I have changes! I am not sure about where I am going, but I think I may be going to Xela! This change has definitely been a wild one. I have learned a lot and been able to love a lot more.

To keep up with the business of the mission... Saturday we didn't baptize. It has been pretty tough. Jessica asked her mom for permission to get baptized and her mom went and talked with her pastora about that. Her mom made her listen to the pastors try to dissuade her from getting baptized. Jessica said that her mom would give her permission to get baptized, but Jessica just is afraid of losing her friends and everything. It is just kinda a sad situation.

We have almost two of the exact same situations with Diana. She is fighting with her family to get baptized as well. However, this situation seems a little more difficult. This week she told us that she has never really had a real conversation with her mom. What a blessing good mothers are! I realized how great a life I have had because of the Gospel. Her mother is even more against Diana getting baptized. Diana wants to get baptized and wants to go on a mission, but her dang parents won't let her don anything! It is kinda a crappy situation.

With Amilcar, he is just a frustrating man. He has a lot of problems in his life and we continue promising all kinds of blessings if he would just come to church! He is a mechanic and doesn't have a lot of work all the time, so when something comes in, he automatically fixes it, no matter if it is Sunday. I feel like he never has work for a whole week and every week something comes to him on SUNDAY!!! It is so frustrating! We always try to get him to come to church and he seems super positive and doesn't wanna do anything when Sunday comes!

This week has been pretty rewarding because I be able to realize a lot of new things. There were a few lessons where I felt like I was the one being taught. I am so grateful for the members in this area!

Well, I have changes and I really hope that these people can come to church and get baptized. It would just bless their lives so much if they could just do it! I have heard that I will be going to Xela because they are opening a new zone there. I would really be excited to be able to go help with that. Today for P-Day we went to the second best soccer stadium in all of Huehue and that is what you see in the photos. It is not much of a great high-class field, if you know what I mean! Well, other than that, there isn't a lot of news, however, there will be a lot more next week! Thank you all for your prayers, I really feel their power in my life to help me move on! Love you!

Love,

Elder Hilton
