Dear family,
This week, something tragic happened. I lost my scriptures.
I felt very lost for several days. During my personal study, during lessons, I
just felt...lost. I was just kind of in a state of shock. Nothing was the same.
But then one night, right after we finished planning, while we were praying,
someone knocked on the door. It was some random guy - with my scriptures. I was
so happy. I had left them in a taxi, and it just so happened that the taxi
driver was our neighbor. Miracles are real. Let's
just hope that I never actually lose my scriptures.
Thursday was the temple trip
for investigators and recent converts. President Melara and almos his entire
family went. Recent converts: Rene and Mirian; investigators: Isabel (his mom),
Ena and Roxana (his sisters), and Eduardo (Ena grandson).
General Conference! That was
very good. We watched it here in Nueva Concepcion. This was the first time
they've ever done that. In the past they've always gone to Chalatenango (about
an hour car drive) to see it. But we know a less active member that has a
projector, a former investigator that's a DJ, and a few members that have
laptops and so we put everything together and we watched it here. Much better
that way.
One of my favorite talks was one where they talked about dancing
without the music (I don't remember who gave it).
You really can't dance without music. It just doesn't work. Even if you know
all the steps, it just feels awkward doing it. It's the same way with teaching:
teaching with the spirit. You can't teach without the spirit. Even if you know
all the points you want to cover in the lesson, if you don't have the spirit,
it doesn't feel right. I, for one, feel awkward if I try to teach not by the
spirit. But when we teach by the spirit, miracles happen.
Well, I love you all! Thanks
for everything!
Elder Hilton
