Week 34 - Puerto Montt is the Chosen Land

written: 8/23/2021

Week 34

An amazing amazing week!!!! I don't even know where to start! 

We have been able to progress even more with our two amigos with baptismal dates and time is ticking, their baptisms are this Saturday!!!! It is going to be my first baptism of my mission and I couldn't be happier for our two amazing friends. I have been able to see a true desire to be baptized by our amigos as they overcome their challenges and as we are able to help them along with the Spirit. They are going to become the best members and be on the lookout in Facebook for a Zoom link if you want to watch the baptismal service! 

This week we were able to meet our awesome new friend Maria Soledad! She is BEYOND prepared. She is part of a less active family and has been reading the Book of Mormon on her own and we were super excited to meet her. We went in with the focus of the Book of Mormon and the Holy Ghost. We all said things we didn't plan and all shared experiences with the Holy Ghost and it was a super spiritual lesson. At the end, my companions and I were able to extend a baptismal date and she accepted! We continue to meet prepared souls and we are beyond happy for these chances. 

This week we also had the opportunity to have Zone Conference and it was an all day event! We were able to be with all the other missionaries in Puerto Montt and learn, share, and grow together and hear lots of good advice from President Meek!

Lastly, we were able to help a youth in the ward prepare for his mission in 2 weeks as he spent 24 hours with us and followed the entire missionary schedule. It was awesome to see the excitement he had and it's crazy that I was in his same position almost 8 months ago, time really flies. 

Things are progressing, I am happy, and I am doing all I can for our amigos. I hope to continue to give it my all and always trust the process of everything in my life and in the mission as I grow.

Love, Elder Collin Steele
