This place is a mad house! Ok so some crazy stuff happened
this last week, and I do not mean crazy like I found peanut butter for super
cheap in the street fair, I mean crazy as in people with knives and of course
my mortal enemy, the dogs.
Ok lets start with the people. This last week was very good
for us. Elder Atkinson and I are working very hard and we are really trying to
find new people to teach, we are in the process of long, fun working days. We
have a few people with baptismal dates right now, and all of them are Haitians.
I know my emails all probably sound the same with me talking about the dogs and
the Haitians, but honestly that describes my life right about now. I am
learning some Creole and French and at the same time teaching my companion
about the proper way to kick dogs while riding on the bike. Tecnique is
everything. So our investigators Gilbert and Sterling are doing great, Sterling
has been really sick for a while so they have not been able to come to church
because they went to the hospital to get things checked out to make sure that
she was ok. But, we are praying and hoping that they will come back to church
and keep their baptismal date for this September. Yesterday we had a really
cool experience. We were contacting in a park that is near a big church and we
stopped a man as he was walking. It turns out that Pedro, that was his name,
has a ton of belief in Jesus Christ and does not know what the true church is.
We got talking and we were able to teach and testify of the Restoration of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was great to teach him, the Spirit was strong and we
were able to get a teaching appointment with him this Saturday.
Ok so the funny story. So a couple nights ago we were on the
bikes and we rounded a corner to go down through a subway station and there
were some guys yelling on the side of the road. They had knives in their hands
and they were not yelling kind words at each other, so we hurried and got out
of there real fast, I was not ready to meet my Maker.
On Saturday as well we had a funny story. So Elder Atkinson
is a little new to the mission and does not know yet about the terrible
abominacion that we have down here called the dogs. So on Saturday we were
walking in the street and there was a small white d-word on the side of the
road. I kept on walking, but my companion bent down to look at it. I took that
moment as a learning opporotunity and did not say anything, just so that he
could learn from experience. My companion got almost down to touch it and the
dog freaked out and started to chase him, my comp jumped about 7 feet off the
ground and came running towards me. Lesson learned, welcome to Chile
ahhahahahahahah!
I am loving the mission, I love every second of it. Today we
went to the temple, and I love it, every time I go inside I learn more about
the Spirit and I feel the truth of what we teach and preach. Love you, ahve a
good week!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
