I am tired. But it is all good, I think last week was the
greatest week of my mission as far as teaching and finding and getting people
to church. We were outside a ton, and we were able to teach a buch of people,
so it was a good week.
Ok so the people. Homeboy Mateo is progressing like a champ,
we went and talked with his parents and they are totally onboard that he can
get baptized here next weekend, and we are super excited as well! We had an
appointment with Mateo in the chapel eysterday and he brought one of his
friends as well to come and listen to us. At the end of the lesson they decided
to run around and do parkour on all of the eletrical boxes and stuff at the
church, and of course, they fell off. But it is all good! No one got hurt and
they lurned a lesson about not doing dumb things! As well we are teaching a guy
named Marcelo, we met him yesterday. We knocked on his dorr and he left his
house, and was eating a sandwich, and did not have his shirt on. He let us talk
with him outside and he wants to learn more about Jesus, and even accepted a
baptismal date in the first lesson, the maquina. On Sunday we went to the
Peruvian families house, Regina and Uber and we talked with them. We had just
gotten out of lunch and I was stuffed, and they gave us a massive plate of
seafood to eat, I ate what I could and then tried to act like the rest did not
exist because I could not eat anymore. The little daughter walks in and said
"Elder Tilghman if you do not eat alot, how are you so fat?" That made
me feel great.
Overall things are going great, I do not have too much to
report this week. On Friday we had a metting with President and all of the
leaders in the mission and we talked about things we can do to help the
missionareis and to help the mission grow and expand. I am super excited for
the changes that are coming, it is going to be really awesome! And on Monday we
had a meeting with a couple Zone Leaders in the South Part of the mission, but
the best part was, we had free Dunkin Donuts!!!!!!!!! Definitely the highlight
of the day.
Overall things are going great, love the mission more and
more as each day passes, and I love the poeple more and more as I intereact and
work with them. I love yo uall and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
