Life is awesome! The days go by so fast I feel
stressed out that we do not have enough time in the day to get everything
accomplished that we want to get done. But, I will take busy days over slow
days any day of the week. The mission had a change this last week, but I am
still with Elder Topalda in the same sector, which means I will be in this ward
for the first six months of my mission! I would not have it any other way, I
love the members, investigators, less actives and all of the random dogs that
live in our sector, and I would not change it for the world.
This week overall was a good week. Elder
Topalda and I have been working hard to find and teach more investigators, or
people who have never heard about the Gospel and would like to learn more. That
means almost everday we are passing by references from members or other
missionaries and we are doing a lot of contacting, in the street, on the bus or
in the Metro. I honestly love it because we get to talk to so many different
people from so many different walks of life everyday, and it is amazing to see
how the Gospel can help each one of them in their lives, even though they are
all different. This week in church we got a new bishop, our old bishop (Bishop
Jara) was released and his brother in law was called as the new bishop (Bishop
Villaroel). I will definently miss Jara, but I am excited to work with
Villaroel because we have a lot to do to help him as he makes this
transition.
On Friday we had divisions with our District
Leaders, so I left Parque Combarbalá and went over a few wards to Brisas.
During the day we were doing some contacting and we knocked on a door and we
talked to a teenager who came to talk with us. Later his mom came out and we
started to talk and during the middle of our discussion she stopped us and
asked if we would like to come by in three days to have dinner with their
family. I looked at Elder Guitierrez in shock because that never happens, and
then we said yes and fixed a time to come back. That moment for me was a
miracle that we were able to find this family and have them be so receptive to
the gospel.
I am doing great, loving everyday out in the
heat! There is no other place in the world that I would rather be right now,
and I know that Heavenly Father needs me to help with this work for his
children. I hope you all are good, love you!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
