Ok so this week was a pretty different week than what we
normally do here on the mission because on Monday was the Purge down here in
Chile. But, more about that later, for now we will jump into the blood, sweat
and tears that were shed this week in the work of the Lord. (Well without the
shedding blood part, we were safe, it is cold so we did not sweat and the only
tears that were shed were when we had some really strong fish floating in lemon
and salt.)
Ok so with the people. Elder Atkinson and I have had some
great experiences and miracles this last week. So we have been teaching a less
active family who wants to come back to church and the dad wants to baptize his
daughter, so last week we started teaching them, and she committed to a
baptismal date at the end of this month! We are very excited for them and they
have already shown their desire to change and they are very excited for all of
these blessings that vendrán! As usual as well we have been in the process of
finding and teaching new people the gospel so taht many more people can hear
this message. Last week we taught and met a lady who had reciently been in
Miami for a conference and we talked about the Hurricanes over in the US. We
testified of teh Plan of Salvation, and it gave me peace to know that the
trials of this world are not the end of our existence, this life is only the
gateway to an eternity of love and peace if we live by Gods commandments.
Overall we have been working very hard and we have been able to feel and have
spriitual experiences with the Spirit!
Ok so fun story of the week. So every year in Chile they
have a national riot day because why not? So it was this Monday and we had to
stay in our house just for safety reasons because we did not want anything bad
to happen to us. So what Elder Atkinson, Grau, Murphy and I did was genius. We
asked permission and we got approved something awesome so that we could enjoy
our time inside. We got a projector, Blu Ray player, some good chilean BBQ and
spent the afternoon and evening inside watching the Lord of the Rings. Best,
Day, Ever. Elder Grau and I are huge nerds of teh Lord of the Rings and when
the opening music came on we looked at each other and started to tear up. So
yes, there were some tears shed this week. So that was my great and epic story
this week, and I owe it all to the gangsters for wanting to riot in the street
all day.
I love you all,
Elder Tilghman
