New Area and Interviews (Week 48)

Hello Family and Friends!!!

It was a blast to be able to talk with my family on Fathers Day!!!  Happy Fathers Day Dad!!!
Also a Big Early Happy Birthday to my Mom!! She is the best. On the mission, I am working to become a lot more like Christ!! But I'm feeling that I'm just becoming more like my parents!!!

So this week I challenged the zone on Tuesday to dig into to the area book and to work super hard so that by Thursday/Friday, every companionship would have arranged 3 baptismal interviews. Then on Thursday and Friday, my companion and I, and the district leaders would go and do interviews all Thursday and Friday.
We were able to find many ancient investigators and some baptisms too!!

This week I interviewed 5 people. Jose was one of them. He is 74 years old. He is in the Sisters area. The interview was incredible. The Spirit was so strong. As Missionaries, we have a front row seat to see the atonement of Jesus Christ in action. Jose was so humble throughout this interview. His prayer at the end brought us to tears. Jose was baptized this weekend. Don't really have the words to describe this experience.

I also had the opportunity to interview a couple that will be baptized this next week. They will be married this week as they can't be baptized until they are married. It was great to interview them both and teach about the Law of Chasity and to help them understand the importance of this law. I really felt at the end that I was marrying them when I was filling out the baptismal paperwork! hahaha



We will have a zone conference this week! Super pumped! Will have a sic training prepared!!


Love You all!
Elder Hillam

The São Luiz East Zone!!! 

Elder Cardoso is super funny. He's Brazilian and doesn't like rice and beans. But he loves American pancakes with condensed milk.


We looked through all the records in the area book and the old area books!!
