Elder Hilton June 7, 2016-2018 : week 70!!!

These last few weeks have been great weeks. Challenges arised, but we saw how when we trust in the Lord everything turns out okay. My companion and I have been facing challenges in our area, in the office, and in our personal lives. I came to understand better the importance of prayer and trusting that God listens to each of our prayers. Sometimes it can be a ´´wrestle´´ like Enos experienced. The week before transfers and the week of transfers, we worked a lot. We bought lots of bus passes for missionaries being transferred, and prepared to receive the 5 new missionaries that would arrive. I organized all the flight plans for departing missionaries and all that is included in their plans during their last week in the mission. We did what we love doing most as secretaries; picking up the new arrivals with President Bangerter and Sister Bangerter at the Airport. It makes me remember when i arrived in the mission and it makes me re-live it all. That Tuesday we went to the airport 3 times to pick up new missionaries. There was one Elder from Woodland Hills, Utah that i talked with a lot. He turns out to be a state champ tennis player and a snowboarder and does everything that i like to do. Maybe one day we will be companions :)
This new transfer we are in a trio. My companion Elder Costa e Silva will be training Elder Cantuário to be the next financial secretary. I went on a division with him at the beginning of my mission so it´s good to see him again. We all get along really well, and i can tell it will be a good transfer. GOOD NEWS!! Diego, our investigator will get married on the 10th of November and then he can be baptized the next day on the 11th. It will be super cool. I really happy for him and his wife, knowing that they can progress together until eternal life. We are working on building a better group of investigators in our area with different people to teach that are ready to receive the restored gospel.

I am grateful for the various ways we can feel God´s love in our lives. I´m grateful for the scriptures, for the sacrament, for our families, and for everything that He gives us to strengthen us. Through these things, He individually helps us realize our potential then reach our goals. I know that the Savior lives. I love him.

Here are some pictures of us.
