Dear Family & Friends, 

Things are pretty crazy. Our Pday activities are taking too 

much time, it doesn't leave us with a lot of time to write. 

Life has been pretty great. I have enjoyed it lately, however,

it has been pretty difficult. Because I walked into an area 

that didn't have a lot going for it. However, now we have 

gotten some more good stuff rolling. 

 
My companion now, is Elder Garcia from Mexico. He is a really 

great missionary. I like to be with him. He is really great. 

We get along well and we are getting a lot more stuff rolling 

here. I am very excited. However, it has been kinda tough to 

get things started for us, but we have some baptisms for next 

month. I like the city for all the access we have to every-

thing, but it is super crazy. There are cars and motorcycles 

and scooters EVERYWHERE! Haha I have to be a lot more careful 

with where I walk here. It is pretty nice too, because it 

hasn't been raining too much either. I do have a lot more 

communication with President Bautista now. He is a great guy 

and I know that he really wants what is best for the 

missionaries.
 
That is really cool that Grandpa is writing a book about 

Ephraim hanks. I didn't know that. I am excited to be able to 

read itwhen I get home. I am sure it will be very interesting. 

Grandma is turning 80 now? Wow, time flies when you're having 

fun, right!? Dave, what a crazy guy. He is just such a killer.
 
Well, things are going great here. We have been working with a 

few different people. We are working with a lot, but they just 

aren't progressing too fast. This week we found some kids that 

are all getting ready to get baptized. Their names are 

Carolina,Angel, Daniel, and Alicia. They are all siblings and 

are getting ready to get baptized. We are also working with a 

young family that is really aweosome. Their names are Cesar 

and Paty. They are very interested in the church, but they have 

a few roadblocks to get them to church. They have a fabric 

store and work every other Sunday and they work everyday, so 

that just makes things a little bit harder to teach them and 

help them to progress. I would say that they are the most 

positive investigators that we have right now.
 
I love this work, though at times, it is super tough. I love 

it and I love the Lord. Let's get some people baptized. 

Love you all!
 
Love,
Elder Hilton
