Week 68: Hidalgo

I'm glad that you figured out where I am at!! I am in the great area of Hidalgo!! Elder Bailey came to this mission with me actually but he served 5 months in another mission but went home for medical. Not sure why.  We live with Robinson who is our district leader and also elder Taylor. The ward is huge! Our area is huge. We have tons of members. We are in a car. We have met a lot of members but I still haven't met all of them. We have about 30 active households so it's going to be a lot of work. There was pretty much no one in the teaching pool when I got here. We only use Spanish. It's super awesome!!! I'm excited that I get to only serve in one unit (ward). It was super hard serving in three in Laredo. I think that the zone covers the Mcallen West Stake but I'm not too sure.

Well the dreadful day came. I never thought I would leave Laredo. For my first couple of prayers I kept saying Laredo not Hidalgo. But I'm super excited for the new start! This week we got a media referal. The lady requested a Book of Mormon. So we went and contacted her!! It turns out that she had just gotten back from UTAH!!!! She toured the temple and confrence center and knows so much already!! She kept talking about how she likes how we have a prophet and apostles! She seems super cool!!! We are going to have a lesson with her tonight!! I'm super excited. She has a lot of potential. Things are going really well here in Hidalgo. I know if we do this work the Lords way we are going to start seeing more miracles!!! I love Hidalgo already! There is so much to do here! Our area is the whole city of Hidalgo and we have part of McAllen as well. Thank you so much for all that you do for me!! I love you so much!!!!! I love you all!!!

Love, Elder Hurst
