Please pray for our Investigators


The Astudillo family is coming slowly but surely. We found them about a month ago. They come from a rough family and have some rough backgrounds. There are 3 that are preparing for baptism the 5th of september. Sandra, Daniela and Pedro are working. Pedro went with us last night to a YSA (JAS) fireside with Elder Scott. When we got there, there was an announcement that He couldn´t come, so we heard from Elder Corbridge and Costa and their wives. One thing that Elder Costa said that really stuck out was that "I don´t have faith, I have a perfect knowledge, that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove". Interesting huh? After the fireside, Venessa Venegas came up to greet us, which was really cool seeing her and I asked her to share her story with him. That was a wonderful experience, to see someone I taught, teach the gospel to someone that we are currently teaching. Pray for the Astudillos to be able to have the strength to keep the commandments ( W of W, Law of Chastity etc...) The Colonia Adrian family didn´t come to church yesterday. The husband had to leave for 4 weeks; she is working from 8 to 8 and has 3 kids. She will need some help and you´ll know how that feels more than me. They are the main ones we also have Pablo Sanchez with a date for next week. We going to have to work out some kinks with that one. Those are our closest and progressing investigators. Please pray for them,,,Astudillos, Ibocaches, Colonias, Pablo Sanchez. I love being with Elder Whitney. We get along great. Of course I’m learning a lot and known as the Goody Goody in the pension, but hey,,, what’s wrong with being good. ("). I love you family. Time is flying. I’m loving it and enjoying the work. I wouldn´t rather be anywhere than Chile Santiago Este in my life right now. I love being a missionary. Chow family and thank you so much for your prayers. They help so much. Keep them up and with faith. Love Elder Tilley
