Buena braco cochis ¿cómo estaí? Hey everyone, how are things
going, is basically what that sentence means in Chileano, because if you look
it up on the internet, half of those words are not even real Spanish words,
just the ghetto Chilean Spanish. But anyway things are going super good down
here, I honestly love the mission with all of my heart, meeting people and
helping them with their lives is the best work that I think anyone can ever do.
This week was really good, but as always in life there are the altos y bajos.
So lets start with our investigators. This past week we have
been having way more success getting into houses and having lessons because we
have been persistent in setting appointments and not letting the flojera win.
We have had much more people to teach because of it, and we actually have a few
baptismal dates for some old investigators who are interested again! We are
going to meet with them three times a week until the 22 de Octubre when they
will be baptised! Elder Jones and I have had some great lessons and discussions
with other people, and overall I would say that the work in our sector is going
pretty good. This Sunday we had a giant meeting as a mission where all of our
Haitian investigators from all over came and we had a meeting in Creole which
was pretty cool. President Gwilliam and Hermana Gwilliam were there as well as
an Area 70, so it was a pretty big deal. However, our Haitian investigators are
having longs hours at work, little money and a hard living situation, so that
has been pretty rough this week. One of our other investigators sells these amazing
sugar covered peanuts on a street corner, and everytime with talk with us he
gives us some, his name is Ronald and I love him to death.
But yeah things are going really great down here, I do not
think there were any super funny Chilean moments down here this week, except
the usually getting hit on by girls, the people walking drunk in the street,
and the dogs. The Spanish for me is really coming and I cannot say enough
how grateful I am for that blessing, I can talk with people to help bless their
lives and it is great. I honestly love being down here (except when it is super
hot and we walk around all day, that part kinda stinks) and I love my companion
Elder Jones, if he ever reads this one day, he knows that I love him. I hope
you all are doing well, keep me informed with everything!
Con Cariño,
Elder Tilghman
Matthew Chapter 5 is pretty swell
