Dear family,
First of all, thanks for all the birthday wishes! Thanks for
all your letters. It's
always good to open my emails and see them.
Well, my time here in Ilopango is probably about to end.
Elder S will be training this next change. They call the trainers early
because they have to go to a special meeting. But I'll find out for sure if I'm leaving to
tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that it's not normal to have changes this often, but
so it is.
Ilopango
has really nice weather. I'm not sure what temperature it actually is, but it
feels amazing. It's a lot cooler than San Vicente and there's usually a really
nice breeze. I'm predicting they'll send me somewhere really hot. It's just too
nice here.
Missionary
work can be hard. But it's worth it. I like looking back at the end of day, and
thinking about the people we had visited that day. There are some days where I
can just feel that, yes, we really helped those people; we made a difference -
and that makes it all worth it. Yesterday we talked with one of our
investigators and he told us, "I'm old enough to be your Grandfather, but
I want what you have. I want to change my life and I need your help." It's
weird to think that we're so young and helping people that are so much older
than us. To me it's a testament that this is the true church and that we
have been endowed with the power of God. There's no other explanation for
it.
I love you
all!
Elder Hilton
