Hello everyone so this last week was awesome, we are having some
really great success in our sector in being able to teach and talk to new
people here in our ward. We had some great experiences this week as well that
testified to me that the missionary work that we are doing is of vital
importance to Heavenly Father and His children.
Sunday was the best Sunday I have had in my mission. So
usual the number of people who go to church every week varies from where you
are at in the mission. My first ward had about 70, my second about 30 and this
ward has about 90. But on Sunday we had 150 people at church and I almost fell
out of my chair. We have really been working with the bishop in order to get
more people to come and partake of the sacrament each week, and it was great to
see such a good turnout this week! As well during sacrament meeting Belen was
confirmed and she asked us to participate in confirming her a member of the
church, while we were confirming her I felt the Spirit fill the room. Thanks to
the Priesthood that has been restored here on the Earth, Belen can have the
Holy Ghost with her for the rest of her life, and will be able to have a
constant companion and comforter in her times of need. All of our other
investigators are progressing great as well, they each have their own unique
challenges that they need to get over, but we are here to help them with that.
Last week as well I started to seriously study my Creole, which is the language
that the Haitians speak, so we will see if I will be able to talk that language
after the mission as well.
Overall the sector has been on fire, we are working great
and very efficiently and I am so exicted to see the success that we will be
able to have.
Ok so story of the week. There is a giant dog that lives
outside of our house called Spike, I gave him that name because it fits. Where
we live there are no other dogs because Spike will go and fight them and beat
them up until they leave, so he is kinda the only dog that I do not all of the
way hate. On Saturday we were walking home at night and we saw Spike run on the
street and slam his head into the side of a moving car because he was mad at it
for some reason. He also did the same thing on Monday. I hope Spike and I do
not become enemies.
On Monday as well we were walking in the street and we
passed a bus stop where there was a guy black out wasted on the bench. As we
passed by he dropped his bottle and slowly leaned back and tried to catch
himself, but he hit the ground. He then started to yell and moan so we kept
going on our way. Once again children, do not do drugs or drink alcohol, only
bad things will come.
I love the mission and love everything about it, I hope you
are all doing well, do not forget to write!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
