2nd Real Email - October 7, 2014

Ok so the second week is down and luckily this week I have a bit better keyboard. Sorry again about last week.  

So this week was a lot different, I know more spanish and yet still seem to struggle a bit but the struggle is good.  One thing I want to focus on this week is General Conference.  Seriously if you haven't seen it yet this is quite possibly the best one of my life!  I was able to watch it in english and so that is a huge blessing!  This past week was a bit difficult for me but Saturday and Sunday changed all of that!  I know that what every single speaker said is true and if any of you are wondering why I am out here there is a talk that says it amazingly.  It is the last talk of the Conference so if you want to go to lds.org and go to General Conference October 2014 and then go to the Sunday afternoon session and it should be the last one but its by David A. Bednar just in case it isn't.  I feel like that whole conference was for me!

So I have recieved some questions wondering about where all of my comps are from so Élder Páz is from Venezuela and Élder Skinner is from Layton ish area but moved to Oklahoma recently.  They are now in  the field so I will be getting 2 more roommates.  Elder Lund is from Provo and I believe Élder Olsen is from Woods Cross area, at least he has Woods Cross shorts, and Élder La Rochelle is from Oregon.

Um Idk what else really to write. There are a few pictures just of my comps and stuff but we only get cameras on p days so thats why those are lacking.  I must say, this whole CCM experience is amazing! In our districts we are pretty much just like a family.  The Temple here is awesome! We get to go once a week and every week I am able to understand more! 

My CCM president is President Dyer from California and I couldn't have asked for a better leader.  He is funny, extremely spiritual, and really can keep a group of 80 plus missionaries under control! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be out here!

Kind of a funny thing here is that sometimes we get chocolates here and they have these sticker things with them and all of the missionaries collect them and trade them and so far I have some pretty cool ones! next week I'll try to take some pictures of some of the cooler ones. 

Thanks so much for all of the support and helping me to remember that life exists outside of the mission because it is really hard to remember in all honesty. We are so busy here and we get so much done that everything seems like a dream! But I wouldn't be anywhere else in the world right now!

Best of luck to you,

Élder Hilton
