Hello my people! This week has been awesome and really has
been a great week for me and my companion, and me personally as I am continuing
to grow and learn more by the Spirit everday! This week has been great with
meeting and talking to new people, and learning to overcome challenges that we
have in order to become better people and disciples of Christ.
So this week was actually really fun in the sector with
Elder Gowers, because the last week we did a ton of contacting because everyone
is on vacation in Chile. But this week, we went back to the new people that we
found in an effort to start teaching them and help them come and enjoy the
blessings of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We still have about 6
investigadores on vacation, but we have also been able to find and meet some
wonderful new people. First off one of the families that we found was a family
who has grandparents who are members, so when we knocked on their door they let
us right in and started talking to us. The husband does not have any belief in
God, but he let us talk to him because he respects our work as missionaries. We
started to talk with him and he looked us dead in the eyes and asked us why he
needs God in his life. We talked about how He is our loving Heavenly Father who
helps us, cries with us and cares for us always, and then invited him to read
the Book of Mormon and pray, and he said an enthusiastic yes! So that was
pretty awesome, we will continue passing by to see how the family is
doing.
We also had the opporotunity to find and teach some new
Haitian investigadores this week as well, and I know I have already said it,
but I love the Haitians. They are so humble and willing to learn, we even had
two come to church on Sunday. All of our lessons with them have been great and
powerful, but it has been hard because they do not read Spanish, and we only
have Book of Mormons in Spanish, so we are working with them step at a time and
teaching through the Spirit. But those guys are awesome, I love them.
So the best part about my week I think happened today for P
Day. So last week our Zone Leaders told us to bring money to our P Day today
because we were going to roast a pig, but we all thought it would just be like
pork chops or something. We showed up today and it was a whole hog. We had to
skin it, gut it and basically clean and cook it all our selves today, and it
was freaking awesome. It was probably one of the funnest things I have done in
my life, let alone on my mission. We literally cooked up a whole 150 pound pig
ahahhahahaha. (Pics to come on the blog9
I love you guys and I hope you are all doing good. I am
proud to be enlisted in the Lords work, and I know that everyday for
everyperson across the world He is watching over us and waiting for us to come
unto Him. I love you and pray for you, take care!
Love,
Elder Tilghman

And now she is even more dead, she did taste really good
