Freddy and Amalia got baptized on Monday night. Amalia was not
feeling too hot as she had gotten sick to the stomach during the day and
had diarrhea all day long. She didn't even got to work, she just stayed
in bed all day long... Until her baptism. We talked to her a little bit
and gave her a blessing and she did it. It was a pretty crazy day, but
it was very nice. They are such great people and I love them a lot. I am
very grateful for being able to get to know them.
We have a lot of sweet investigators right now, but
we need to find more. I think that we'll find them this week. Claudia
has a training meeting in Guatemala for something this week and so we
haven't been able to visit her at all this week. We keep working with
Kenia, and she is going to get baptized soon! WE also have got Aura, she
is such a nice lady. She always takes care of us and treats like we're
her own kids. She has been progressing a lot more than she had been. We
have been teaching her a little bit more about the doctrine and just
clearing up some doubts that she has. We have also been teaching an
inactive member named Ramiro. It has been tough to get him to come to
church, just because he has a lot of fear of losing the relationship
that he has with God. It was kinda weird yesterday because he had some
questions about polygamy and we helped him to get that cleared up and he
still has some other questions about the Book of Mormon. We cleared up
those questions pretty well, and he just didn't have it. It's kinda
tough with him. I think that the real reason is that he is still hurt
from what his family members did to him like 30 years ago. He got
baptized, went to Guatemala City to live with some family members that
were also members of the church at that time. I think that he started to
fall away from the church and his family members didn't really care or
say anything to him and that made him feel really, really bad. Since
then, he hasn't gone. I think that is his major challenge.
Thank you for all your support.
Love,
Elder Seth Hilton
