Dear family,
Thanks for all your letters! And thanks for the package! I
really enjoyed it all. I'm
still going through all the talks, and I've enjoyed them all so far. And the
ties were all really good. My new companion thanks you for his tie, and I ate
all the fruit snacks in about 2 days. They were really good. I hadn't realized
I missed them.
So
yes. New companion. I am now in Nueva Concepción with Elder G. Nueva
Concepción is a pretty secluded area. We have to travel about an hour and a
half to get to our district meetings. Elder G is a good misionary. He's 19
and has about 9 months in the mission. He's from Oregon. It's a little weird
being with someone the same age as me. Ever since BYU I've been used to being
with people much older than me. But he's a good missionary and we're going to
work well together.
We
are opening the area. That is to say, both Elder G and I are new here. They
just gave us our luggage, our house keys, and told us which bus to get on.
Eventually we found to house. It was an adventure. It also made for some
interesting street contacts.
-Hello, do you know where our church is?
-Yes, so you don't need to tell me.
-That's ok, we don't know. Could you tell us how to get
there?
It
was pretty fun. We got a few references that way.
Nueva
Concepción is a very small branch. It has about 30 active members. The branch
president has only been a member for about a year. He's a really great guy,
very humble, and very hard working. I'm excited to have the oportunity to help
this branch.
Well,
that's about it. I send pictures next week, for some reason it wouldn't let me
send them today.
I
love you guys!
Elder
Hilton
