So once more this week was awesome! General Conference was
this past weekend and I am super grateful for all of the
revelation/guidance/Spirit that I was able to feel from the leaders of the
Church. I am sure my Argentinan companions lost their minds when there heard
there would be another temple in Argentina, shoutout to Topalda and Bellido if
they are reading this right now. Other than that this week was good as well for
the work that we were able to do as well, and we successfully and safely passed
another Purge Day down here in Santiago!
Okie dokie lets start with the people. So Elder Tanner and I
have been talking and praying and we feel that we need to let some people go
that we are teaching, they are great but have not been in the process of
wanting to change and progress, so this week we are hoping to find a ton of
people to talk to and share the message of the Restoration with! Actually we
had a great experience with that yesterday. We were in the street talking with
people in front of a giant plaza in our sector and two Haitians came running
over to talk to us. I recognized one as someone I had talked to months ago, but
we lost contact and he and his friend seemed so happy so see us. In the little
Spanish they could talk they explained to us that Jimmy (the guy I knew) just
had his cousin Vladmir (the other dude) move here from Haiti, and it turns out
that the homie Vladmir is a member from 8 years ago in Haiti! So they were both
super excited to see us, we talked to them and shared the Gospel and then
invited them to a spanish class that we give in our chapels on Thursdays, so we
will see them both and their families tommorrow!!!! That was pretty dope, it
helped our faith alot in that there are miracles when we work to find more
people. As well we have been starting to teach a new lady named Moraimah, and
we invited her to view the conference on Sunday, we went to get her but she was
not there, so we were pretty sad. Ten minutes after conference starts, Moraimah
showed up and sat and watched the entire conference, and she loved it it was
awesome!!!! We are super stoked for her as well, so we will see how she
progresses.
Ok so funny moment of the week. On Monday I was with Elder
Vargas on divisions in his sector and we were contacting a street and we
decided to go and talk to a man who was standing out on his porch drinking
juice. He got super scared, but like deathly pale as we came over and he shut
his gate and asked us "What do you spies want with me and my house"
The homie thought we were spies from the Church sent to come and interrogate
him and dissect his innards hahahahahah. We ended up talking to him and sharing
with him and as we were leaving he told us to take care on our mission to go
and conquer the world, hence the name Elder Tilghman 007. Gang gang.
Love the misson, you should all go and watch Elder Bednars
address from the saturday session of conference, it was great, I definitely
felt terrible during that talk because I realized I am super prideful, pretty
much the opposite of meekness, so I am supre grateful for that council that he
gave us! Hope yall have a great week, see you soon!
Love,
Elder Tilghman
