Happy Mothers' Day to my
mother, my grandmothers, my sister, my sister-in-laws and all my
friends' mothers that helped to raise this wild child! Thanks for
everything you have done for me and for being so patient with me!
Well, this week has been a good week. Yesterday, we
got a little frustrated because not a lot of investigadors came to
church. However, a new investigador did come to church and it seems that
she is going to get baptized with her son! Her name is Maria and she is
really awesome. On Tuesday, I did exchanges with a new missionary,
Elder Sanchez from Honduras. He is in San Mateo. We had our first lesson
with Maria and he helped me out a ton! He has like 3 weeks in the
field, but it was a really cool experience. We taught about the
Restoration and she said, "oh, so this is the TRUE church!?" We just
were like, YES!!!! It is the true church of Jesus Christ! It is really
cool when the people understand so easily like that. I love it! Maria
can't read, but we bought her a little gospel art book. So now, she can
look through that and learn a little bit. Initially, we were just
teaching her. However, her son started looking through the book and he
liked it, so he came to church with her yesterday! He liked the hymns
that we have and wants his own hymn book and his own gospel art book! It
has been really sweet what has happened with them.
We have another investigador that always comes to
church, her name is Paty. Her boyfriend is on a mission in Nicaragua or
Honduras and so she comes to church all the time and always reads the
Book of Mormon. Haha yesterday, she told us about how some Jehovah's
Witnesses came around and she kinda stood them up in what they were
saying! It was pretty sweet. The reason that she doesn't get baptized is
that she wants support from her Catholic parents and she wants to wait
for her boyfriend to be at the baptism. So, this week, we are going to
have a Family Night with her parents to try to gain some confidence with
them so that they can support her in what she wants to do.
It is kinda short this week, but time is up! It is
alright though, because I'll be calling for Mothers' Day! Thanks for all
the support!
Love,

Dad, thanks for the info. I had seen a little about
that guy, but not too much. Now I understand a little better. That is
really kinda crazy!
Haha, here the majority of the people wear
shoes, but in Nahuala, there was quite a few more people that didn't
wear shoes. I'd say that there it was like 5% of the people. Mainly just
the old people don't wear shoes. They just aren't really used to
wearing them. Ha they are just fine without shoes. Yes in Nahaula is
where everybody speaksQuiche. I have heard that in Quiche hardly anybody
speaks quiche. It doesn't really make sense to me haha, but whatever!
Thanks for the update ad for the info! Love you dad!
Love,
Elder Hilton
