Hellooooooo!!! Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday!‏ November 30, 2013

Dear family and friends,

Things are going great in the mission. Yesterday, President called me to be assistant, so now I will have Pday on Saturdays. This week I had Elder Leguizamo as my companion. He is from Ecuador and is really excited about working and baptizing. So we went out and put a few baptismal dates. We taught Luis Angel, Carolina's brother and he is getting ready to get baptized! We also were able to talk with Claudia and she is closer than ever to getting baptized. I love her example and everything that she has done in her life. I have really enjoyed this week.

On Thursday, we went to Enrique's house. He is from Huehuetenango, but his wife is from the States, so he knows everything about Thanksgiving and so the three zones in Huehue got together for a little ugly sweater contest and a Thanksgiving lunch. It was so much fun.

On Friday, we had a multi-zone conference. It was wonderful. I really loved it. the Office elders put together a little image book that is really sweet and it looks so professional. It is really going to help us to be better teachers in the mission. Friday morning President called me and asked if I would be willing to serve as assistant. I am scared and worried and I just don't want to mess up. However, I am excited for this opportunity. Elder Tejero is once again my comp. I am really excited about everything.

I was really sad to leave my last area. I said goodbye to Claudia and other investigators, but it was hardest to say goodbye to Marvin and his family. I really love them so much and I was really sad that I wasn't able to help them to do more. Lately I have been realizing that there isn't even time in life to do enough good. Honestly, time is flying and every day, I realize more and more that this time in the mission will not be enough to do the good that I want to do and that I feel like is necessary. I feel like it will be the same for our time in life. I don't think that we should worry too much about regrets and worry more about what good we can do in life. I love this gospel and the church and the mission. I love you all. Thank you for everything.

Love,
Elder Hilton
