Howdy! - May 20, 2013

Dear family and friends,

I am kinda squeezed on time today, but I'll get what I can off to you! Things are going pretty good. However, Elder Gomez and I both have been fighting some sicknesses lately. We keep fighting and working hard.

We are working with a part member family. The father's name is Giovani. We uploaded pictures of his family to dropbox this week. He didn't come to church yesterday because his wife feel from a ladder and broke her arm... I haven't had a lot of time to talk with him about that, but he is really excited. They just need to get their documents so they can have their IDs and then they'll get married and he'll get baptized. We have been working with his mom, but I think that her pastor came and talked with her about why she hadn't been going to church with him. We were explaing the Restoration to Giovani and his mom came in and she started to talk about how it didn't matter which church she went to because we all praise just one God, so it doesn't matter. WHAT!? This surprised us a lot because she seemed very postive and everything, but outta the blue she just decided that she didn't want to get baptized. Tomorrow we have a lesson with her, we just need to make her realize the importance of authority.

We have kinda just let off a little bit on the other families that haven't been coming to church. However, we are working with Marili and she came to church for the first time on Sunday! She has had a tough time because she had to work Sunday for 15 quetzales. That's about 2 dollars. However, we had a sweet lesson with her about the Sabbath Day and she dropped her job and this past week had a job interview on Tuesday! It was really sweet to see how once she had the faith to drop her job on Sunday, a better one opened up to her.

Well, I am about out of time, but I love you all and thank you for your support!

Love,
Elder Hilton
