Hey everyone I hope you all had a good week, my week was
great. Life is going as normal, and Elder Alldredge and I are having some reall
success in our sector, which as always makes us happy to see that all of our
efforts are paying off! From a baptism to some really cool new people, the work
has been progressing in San Bernardo.
Ok so first things first with the gente. On Saturday Ernesto
got baptized! It was a really awesome day and we were very happy for him and
his decision to join the church. All saturday morning we went and cleaned the
chapel and filled up the font to get ready, and then we had the baptismal
service in the afternoon. It was crazy to see family from all different parts
of Santiago show up and support Ernesto in his decision. I was asked to play
the piano to start the ceremony, so yes Kaci and Conner, keep practicing
because you will never know when someone needs you to play. During the baptism
we had a great turnout from the ward members who came and supported, I think
there were in total about 100 people there! And then on Sunday Ernesto was
confirmed a member during sacrament meeting.
We have also had some good experiences this week in finding
a ton of new people to teach. One of our Haitian investigators we have been
teaching presented us the family of his friend to teach, and we got to teach
the whole family about how we can have family relationships forever, it was
awesome! Our goal now is to fix some dates for baptism with people so that
they, like Ernesto can enter into Heavenly Fathers kingdom. I love being busy
and having a ton to do!
Ok so cool story of the week. So we ride around on bikes
which is really fun because we can get around the sector really fast if we need
to. Anyway, we were going down a hill in our sector, and right by us sped a
bus. It was really close to us, I thought we were goners for sure, but we
survived. I enjoyed it though, it was like the kind of rush you get on a
rollercoaster, so even though we almost died, it is all good.
Overall I am loving the mission. Today we went to the temple
for our free day and afterwards we went and ate at Carls Jr, the only one in
Chile. I am so grateful to be here serving the Lord and helping HIm progress
his work. Love you all, I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
