Birthdays, Fruit, and Missionary Work (Week 57)

Hello all!!!

First off a Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother Connor this week. Your super talented! Keep it up!

Also today, is Elder Smith's 19th birthday!! Parabens meu amigo!

Elder Smith and I are receiving some awesome revelation. God is opening up paths and ideas where there seemed like there wasn't anywhere to go. My Grandma Hillam sent a great quote from President Hinckley: "I believe that God will always make a way where there is not a way. I believe that if we will walk in obedience to the commandments of God, if we will follow the counsel of the priesthood, he will open a way even where there appears to be not way."
I know that Elder Smith and I are being super diligent and obedient and were blessed because of it.

This week we put a big focus on the sacrament. Many times this week we taught about the sacrament as one of the first things and the follow up through the week as well.  We explained about the atonement and why we go to church. We applied this across the zone and saw a huge increase in investigators going to church.

The Book of Mormon is one of our greatest tools. We saw that in the zone one of the things that we were lacking was showing how the Book of Mormon blesses our lives. How the Book of Mormon answers the questions of our soul. We taught the people why they need this sacred scripture,

Had a lunch on Saturday that was super cool. But really long.
It was a house of a member that lives by the beach. The route there and his land was probably one of the most beatiful places that I have seen here. So many kinds of fruit trees. Hammocks in the shade. picking what ever kind of fruit that you want just outside your house--one km from the beach. It was awesome.

This week I experimented AmĂȘndoa and tamarindo (the fruit itself.) Super good!

Have a fantastic week!
Eat some good fruit.


Love Elder Hillam
