August 5, 2013

Dearest family and friends,
 
Surprise! I had emergency transfers to Huehuetenango! They told me Monday morning that I was going to be zone leader and so I expected that they would wait till the end of the transfer to move me, but they did it Monday night at 10. We had a zone leaders meeting on Tuesday morning in the mission home and after that we went straight to Huehue. It has been kinda wild lately, but now we have a few people to baptize this month. Have I ever told you how much I love the mission!? My companion is Elder Garcia from Mexico. He came with my "kid" into the mission and he is really awesome. We have also been comps with Elder Morrow from New Mexico. He is pretty sweet too. Tomorrow he is going to be the financial secretary for the mission, so we have just been chilling with him lately.
Things are pretty wild now. I am in the same zone that I was in last time I was in Huehue, but now I am realizing that I need to be a much better teacher. I think that was what I was missing in Victorias. The ward here is really great. Yesterday we had an asistence of about 200 and the ward's name is Centro, so we are basically in the middle of the city. I like it, but it is just tough because people have a lot of questions... At least that's how it seems to me. I feel like people here are a little more educated than in other places. I am very excited to be here and to be Elder Garcia's comp.
We are working with a guy named Elfano, who has little bit of trouble with drinking, but he has a baptismal date to work towards. He is a great guy, I actually met him last time I was in Huehue. So, he has been an investigador for quite a while, but he said that he wanted to get baptized now. We are also working with two young men named Marvin and Jairo. They are good friends, and I guess they have just come to church a bunch of times, we just need to get them baptized! We don't know much about them, but we ahve baptismal dates with them and I am way excited to get working with them, too.
That's basically what we have got going right now, but I am honestly pretty excited about things here. We have some families that we are working with and I really hope to get them baptized soon. I am just very blessed to have the comp that I do because he is really smart and is just a killer missionary. I love this work and everything that I get to do. I love the Lord and everything that he has done for me. I love you all for all your prayers and love.
Love,
Elder Hilton
