New President

Mom and Dad,          On Friday night, we picked up President Fortuna and his family. President Fortuna walked out from where their baggage was to ask us a few questions, and when he returned to where their luggage was President Flores took his missionary badge off . I said to him,"The keys were passed."  And he was no longer our President.  The funny thing is that you could feel it.  The authority of the other became known by the Spirit. On Saturday, we had meeting during the morning with President Fortuna and in the afternoon we took President Flores and his family to the airport, which wasn`t difficult but very emotional. Very beautiful.  I didn`t have much time to be with him, because I was running around with President Fortuna fixing some proplems he had with his luggage the night before. Yesterday, we drove President Fortuna around in the afternoon to some meetings here in the city.  And in the night time, he visited two families with us.  He is very direct with people and knows he is a servant of God. You can feel the power of the Lord when he teaches.  I will learn lots from him. In other news, Elder Archibald and I took him to a school to register his kids for school.  And after, we took them all to eat their first baleada!  Haha.  It is like training an already trained missionary. This week we are going to be traveling to all the zones to present  the Fortuna familia.  Next week, we began a tour of interviews driving to every house of every missionary for 10 days.  The last week of my mission we will be doing Leadership Trainings.  We are teaching two families that could get baptized this month.  They are incomplete families.  The Soto family:  The husband, who is a professional doctor, is the only one that is not a member.  This week in Church, he attended for the first time in 3 months or so.  He said to us that Jesus Christ told him that he could not let his family go to church with out him.  He looked rather worried, but it was really neat to see how the Lord communicates with people. The other family is the Silva Alvarado family: Gina, the wife, is the only one that is not a member.  She is putting up walls, but we suspect that she knows this is the true church.  She has even commented that it is better than the catholic church.   But according to her, she is still waiting for an answer.  Pray that the Lord will give them an answer and courage to act upon that answer. The sad thing is that for the craziness in the last two weeks, I spent almost all of the money that was given to me.  Thank you so much.  I don`t have anything for souveniers, but I am calm in that I have enough for what I need. Well, 30 days left...  The time has gone by so fast.  I love you all. See you soon. Elder Hill 30 Days!!!!
