Things are fine health wise. I have not had any more
parasite symptoms. It isn't that I was being disobedient, it's just that
we didn't have any minutes to call and couldn't find any other way to
do it, so I took the medicine. Oh man, when you see Bryson tell him hi
for me please. I love that kid.
Well, transfers are tomorrow. And my comp is getting
transferred. It has been kind of a tough week. He has I feel like I have learned to be more of a doer.
That is something that I am missing. Yesterday we went out with the
young adults from the ward (there are like 25 in this ward!) It was
pretty fun.
Things have been moving right along. Claudia is
making some sweet changes in her life. She still hasn't been able to go
to church, but will go this Sunday. Yesterday, she had some class that
she couldn't miss, but she is very ready to get baptized. She just needs
to come to church a few times and she'll be in the water doing
covenants with our Heavenly Father. She is really progressing. She has
stopped a lot of stuff like I said last week and is so willing to
change.
We are also working with some teenagers whose names
are Celeste, Mabe, and Antony. They are siblings and have gone to church
a bunch of times with their gramma who lives in Salcaja (on the
outskirts of Xela.) They have some friends that are mormons already and
are always with them. We have been working with them quite a bit and
yesterday they came to church. It is nice to see fruits from our labors.
It has been really cool.
This week, Eduardo, a good convert buddy, gave me a
tourism map of Guatemala and we were looking at it and at the Exploring
the Lands of the Book of Mormon book. Eduardo's friend started to tell
us a little bit about this place by Tikal that is called El Mirador. It
takes five days to get there hiking. The map says that there are 29 big
structures there and 50 smaller. They just barely discovered it like 5
years ago. I want to go SO bad. I think it would be so sweet. Now, what
is even cooler is that in the book, Bountiful is pretty close to that
place. I really think that it could be the city of Bountiful. The map
also talks about this place and that was inhabited from the years 400 BC
to 100 AD. How sweet and true is everything! Aside from the testimony
that I have, it is kinda cool to think about.
From last week, there are some pictures of a lake.
That place is called Laguna Magdalena. It is so beautiful. It is like 2
and half hours into the Cuchumatanes Mountains on a dirt road. It was so
gorgeous. It leads to a couple of other pools and then to a waterfall
that falls about 800 yards. It is just so gorgeous. I love it. I love
the beautiful earth that we have to enjoy. I love the mission, even
though it is really tough at times, I love it and am so grateful for
this opportunity. Love you so much, and thanks for everything that you
do for me.
Love,
Elder Hilton
