Wow how has it already been another week? Time goes by so
fast here it scares me because I do not want to leave the mission hahahah.
Anyway, this week was great, and Elder Jones and I are having a ton of progress
in our sector, and I am learning new things everyday.
Ok so this last week has been pretty fun for Elder Jones and
I to work with people in our sector. We have really been focusing on
strengthening the young people of our sector, because we want to help them get
on missions and to help them involve their friends in the gospel. One of the
people we are working with is the only member in his family, so we are just
making sure he has support from us and from the ward, his name is Alejandro. We
went on divisiones with him all day on Monday and at the end of the night he
gave me a scarf, which is awesome because a cold wave hit Santiago, so it is
freezing cold now. One of our investigators is making huge progress, so I would
like to fill you guys in. His name is Rudolfo and he is awesome, we met him by looking
in our area book for old investigators, and we went and visited him and at
first he was ni alli with us. But, we were able to teach him because he loves
to learn English, so we taught him some classes and always mixed in gospel
principles, and now he is actually investigating the church and reading the
Book of Mormon and asking us questions! He is super sincere, and he is praying
and reading to know if what he is learning about the gospel is true, so I am
super excited for him, because I know he will get an answer! Overall a solid
week.
So down here in Chile they have their own phrases, just like
in the US we have phrases we say like "piece of cake" and I thought I
would share a few Chilean phrases with you, as well as the translations.
Giving Jucie means goofing off
Goat Boy is a name you would call someone who is like the
age of a highschooler
Painting monkeys is like being lazy and not doing anything
And down here in Chile they always say "po" after
every thought they say, it is kind of like how in Canda people say
"eh", so when Chileans watch Kung Fu Panda, it must be really
confusing for them. (Lets see who gets that joke)
Things are going great down here, I am so happy and I look
forward to everyday because there are always new experiences to have and things
to learn everyday. I am grateful for the growth I have seen in myself so that I
can become a better missionary in the hands of Heavenly Father. Love you all!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
