Week 38
This weekend I was able to have my first "Dieciocho" which is basically our 4th of July!!! We had a giant barbecue with an awesome member family and we ate a ton of meat and empanadas. We also made homemade empanadas twice and I don't think I'll be doing it many more time, it is a very very long process, it's easier to just buy them already made. But a great experience nevertheless!
With all of the festivities this weekend, this week was a little tough on the work side because so many people were busy preparing and didn't have much time to talk or have lessons or time in person. But we had an awesome Sunday! We were inviting a ton of people and less active members to church and were having 0 success, no one was responding, and we thought we were going to have a really tough Sunday. Then, 15 minutes before church, the messages came flying in! We ended up having 5 awesome amigos come to church, along with many less active members who hadn't attended church in a very long time. It was awesome to see all of them at church because they could feel the Spirit and progress!!
As a companionship, we continue to prioritize growing our relationships with our amigos and our members because without our members we are nothing. I'm thankful the pandemic has calmed down a little and we are able to leave all the time and build in person relationships because it is so different in a good way. Members of the church here in this ward are so awesome, it is such a blessing.
Love,
Elder Collin Steele
