Hey everyone how are you doing? This week was fantastic, there were changes in the mission, but Elder Tanner and I were not affected by that, so I will be finishing my mission here in Los Robles and Elder Tanner will be my last companion! But, it was a great week, Carmen got confirmed a member of the church, we found some great new people to teach, and an old grandma swore at us and called us her "beautiful young men", Overall it was awesome!
So lets start off with the week! On Sunday Carmen was confirmed a member of the church and it was a really powerful experience. Bishop confirmed her and promised her the blessing of seeing her family in the church one day if she was loyal and faithful to the covenant she had made, and let me say the Spirit really testified of that one. Carmen has a difficult family situation, and the promise from Bishop that she would see her family with her in the temple was strong, I do not like to cry, but the Spirit in the room was so strong taht I could not help but shed a few tears. It was a great Sunday! As well this last weekend we had an Open Chapel activity in the Las Araucarias ward. I was in the baptismal font with Elder Magadan, and while we were in there we got to teach about the importance of baptism. One lady came through and was super nice and had some great questions for us, and we answered her the best that we could, but the best answer she got was from the Spirit. As we testified of the Atoning power of that comes through baptism and the remission of sins, the room literally warmed with the influence of the Spirit. She asked how she could learn more, so we wrote down her información and referred her to the Elders in her ward! Miracles!
Love the mission, I am so grateful to be out serving the Lord. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. He who says otherwise has not become humbled enough to read it with an open heart and mind and has not become meek enough to ask the Lord if it is true. It is great that the scriptures can teach us doctrine, but if we do not ask the Lord in prayer if something is His or is true, we did not really understand the doctrine that we read in the scriptures. So, I would like to invited everyone to read the Book of Mormon! Love you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
