There is so much rain. Maybe it is just me being an Arizona
boy and never ever had rain in my life, but it feels like this past week is has
rained everyday. It is not bad or hard rain, it just makes all of the streets
really muddy and slippery and the streets run with dog poop. Like I said last
week, dogs are demons.
It has been a good week for us, we are really working hard
and progressing. I know this is going to sound like deep revelation, but this
week we really found out and appreciated that working through the members is
the way to do missionary work. We have really been doing a ton of street
contacting these last few weeks, and nothing has really worked out for us. Then
one morning during our companionship study we got the idea to work
through the members and have them give us references for people that we can
teach, so that these people will not feel weird about the church, so that is
what we have done. We have been visiting a couple members, or less active
members each day to share the message of the Restoration with them to get them
excited about sharing the gospel, and they have commited to sharing with someone
else, so we are excited to see the results of our labors!
As far as our current investigators go, they are still
progressing and working to overcome their individual problems so that they can
go to church, leave behind old habits and work to better their lives. We had a
cool experience on Sunday when a family of Hatians walked into the church half
way through our first hour and Elder Gates and I got really excited, but then
we found out they were being taught by the other Elders and arrived to church
at the wrong time, but still they came! We are working to get better everyday
and help others reach and enjoy the light of the gospel of Christ in their
lives.
Ok so cool and funny story of the week. So dogs and I have
not been getting along reciently I do not know what it is, it is like they have
all decided to turn on me. Anyway on Monday we were walking along in this
little dirt field and these two dogs decide to go beserk and run at us. Little
did they know I was not having it with dogs that day, so I started to run at
them. They got scared and ran back to where they came. If this keeps up either
I or the dogs are going to die before I leave this sector I swear. I hope I
win.
This was a great week and some great work that we are
putting in here in Condell, I am really excited to see where the Lords work
will take us in our time here! I love you all and hope you have a good week!
Happy Mothers Day!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
