Yeah so do not worry, I will tell the story later about what
the title of my email is, but its all good, we are chill. But anyways this week
is going super good, Elder Gowers and I are really progressing the work along
in our sector, there are multiple times a week when we have to arrange divisiones
with ward members for hours at a time in order to get all of our appointments
covered, but it is awesome.
So the investigators. Right now we have one girl, Cassandra,
who has a baptismal date for the last Sunday of the month. She is super awesome
and really receptive to everything, and is reading and praying everyday to know
if the church is true. Her only problem is going to the church, we are really
pushing Repentance with her so that she can learn to go to church and continue
following the Lord. I am excited and happy for her, we will see how everything
turns out! So right now in Chile, everyone and their mother is on vacation
right now. So that means that Elder Gowers and I do a ton of contacting
everyday to find new people to teach, because everyone we know is out of town,
so we just have to keep working to find more people to teach. And it has been
great. We met a guy a couple days ago who recieved the missionaries a while
back, but then went to the hospital for 4 months, so he lost contact with them.
When we found him he invited us in and we immediately started teaching him, he
is a great guy and is willing to change, so we will see where this goes.
Yesterday we were also doing some contacting and all of the people where either
not in there house, or they just slammed the door on us, but we finally found
some people who would talk to us. They are a young family who actually has
family members who are church members, and they invited us back Sunday to talk
with them, so once again we are happy to see where this goes.
Ok so story time. This week Elder Gowers and I were touching
some doors talking to people, and giving out little invitations to people so
that they will start coming to church. I had about 50 in my hand, and we
started to talk to some people, so I put them resting in my pocket. I also had
our cellphone in that same pocket, and someone must have seen it. A teenage kid
walked by me and stuck his hand in my pocket and took the first thing he found
and ran away, he did not steal anything, just all the 50 church invites, so he
better be coming to church on Sunday. So, I was kinda robbed, but nothing bad
happened, and who knows maybe he will come to church and we can start to teach
him.
Things are going great down in Chile, I love the days and the
people more and more as they weeks go by. Even though sometimes the people are
weird, they are super funny and I know they are children of God, and I happy to
be working with them. I love you all, do not forget to write!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
