"Hello my friends how are
you?" I am just quoting something that I hear everyday on the street down
here. No but really, how is everyone? I am loving it down here in Chile,
everyday is a new adventure and new things to do it is sweet. This week was a
good week of doing some tracting to find new people, and it was a good week of
getting oriented in the new sector.
Alright so I will start off
with the new people that we have found here in Condell. This week we were
walking in the street doing some contacting, and we contacted a Haitian on the
side of the road and got a return visit to his house. We ended up going to
teach him and he actually lives with two friends, and we are teaching all of
them and they have started to read the Book of Mormon, so we are really excited
to see the progress that they start to make, it will be really fun to watch.
Elder Gowers and I have also been going around trying to clean up the ward too.
We have a list of all the members, active or not, in the ward, so we are going
around in seeing if people still live there, and if they are, we invite them to
meet with us and come back to church. A ton of miracles have come that way as
well, in terms of people to teach and new people to know. We also met with some
people the past week who were old investigators of my companion and his old
comp, so we went to visit them to see how they were doing and how they were
progressing. They have some great people who are progressing great, we just
have to get them out to church with us, so this week in our lessons we just
talked with them all about their progress and coming to church, and fixed some
plans to go pick them up as well. Overall we are doing really great, and we are
sacaring la mougre from the sector, because there is really a ton of potential
here and I am so excited to work.
So the funny, scary moment of
the week happened last night. Elder Gowers and I were wrapping up our last
appointment for the night and we were getting ready to leave to go to the
house. Then all of the sudden, all of the power went out in our sector and
everything went completely dark. So, we had to hurry and book it back to the
house in the dark, because we were just nervous about getting robbed or
something, but we are all good now so it is ok! But that was the funny and
scary moment of the week, but nothing happened to us.
Overall I love my new sector
and my new companion. We are really working hard to work and lead in every way
possible that we can so that the Lord can perform his work in Santiago. I love
you all and I am grateful for everyone of you, do not forget to write!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
