Josh, I don´t know exactly what your seminary kids would like to here, but I’m so glad I lived like I did. I honestly don´t have to worry about the big temptations that many missionaries have, because I forced myself to be chaste in my mind and actions. Please just tell them to live what is in the Strength of Youth pamphlet. It´s too bad we can´t see the blessings that come from our righteous efforts right away, but it is worth everything...it is worth everything. They can´t see it now and I couldn´t see it then either, but I promise its worth it. It´s worth every time someone made fun of me or called me goody goody etc...It felt sometimes like I was on bottom, but I didn´t realize that I was flying on top. So many blessings come from living the gospel. Many times, we don´t see it till its done, but it matters because I fight for the Savior. Elder Tilley
Mom, Sandra Ibocache didn´t come to church, but we set a date for the 12th for her and her son. The Colonia´s came yesterday, but their dad is in Peru for 3 more weeks. We gave Juan a blessing because he has been really sick.
Rach! How did that feel to get home? I don´t know if there are many sweeter feeling than on the face of the earth:) I’m glad your home and getting settled down and all. That is so cool that you get to stay at the house. Our home is a little heaven on earth. We are so blessed. Thank you so much for praying for our investigators. I need to do a better job telling what each one needs so that you can pray more specifically. I love you so much and can´t wait to hang out again. Tell Joe he is awesome and am glad you got him. love you Sis. Chow,,,Elder Tilley
mom-I wanted to send this journal entry first. It talks about when Venessa bore her testimony to Pedro and also the next lesson that we and with Pedro. This was the fastest week I think. Yesterday, it was a wild experience. Pablo Sanchez was baptized. It was a beautiful service. The Stake President was able to baptize him and it was done at the Stake Center because Pablo helped build the font. Cool huh.
