Hey everyone so this past week we had changes and I left my
old sector, Condell. I was there for 6 months and honesly I can say it was
amazing, the people are genuine and sincere, and the work of the Lord will
continue to advance. I am now in a new sector a little south of where I was
before, and it is called Maestranza. My old area was super ghetto and not going
to lie, pretty scary, but my new area is super nice, there are nice houses and
the people are a little better off. but do not worry, there are still dogs and
they chased us yesterday because I am now on a bike! So, the dogs now chase me
as I am flying down the road on two wheels.... we will see how this goes, those
suckers are fast.
When I left my old sector, we had some people with some
baptismal dates, Sammy and Mathieu, both of which are Haitians who speak fluent
English. We are working with them so that they can progress and feel more
comfortable in church, becuase they do not speak Spanish yet they feel a little
left out at times, but the language will come, I am a witness of that. I am sad
to leave those guys, but I know that they are in good hands and that they will
be taken care of.
Here in my new sector I also have a new companion named
Elder Alldredge! He is from Kanab, Utah and his family owns a fast food
restaurant there, so I will definitely be going to visit him. He is a great guy
and I have known him for a while now here on the mission, and I am excited to
be with him. I live with two Elders named Elder Champutiz and Elder Grau. champutiz
is from Ecuador and Grau is from Spain, they are super cool guys.
Of course there is also a funny story of the week. On Sunday
Chile played against Germany in teh Confederations Cup Final for soccer and
lost. So of course what did the Chileans do all day? Yell at us. Just because
we are white people does not mean we are from Germany, but everyone thought
that on Sunday so the whole world was mad at us, but it is what it is.
Overall I am loving the work
and the way that things are going. Love the people, food, work and studies, but
no lie I could do without the dogs. I hope you are all having a great week,
love you!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
