Week 41
The transfer is flying by, and we only have one more week until we receive transfer news!!! I hope I stay here in Puerto Montt, but only time will tell.
We continue to see progression with our awesome abuelita. She has accepted every single thing that we have taught and she is counting the days until her baptism. She will be baptized this Sunday and my companion and I will both be in white to baptize her because she has a problem with her leg and also because she said she couldn't decide and it had to be both of us to baptize her! She even helped us yesterday extend a baptismal date to someone we were teaching... and she isn't even baptized yet!! She is someone super direct and she doesn't hesitate to say how she feels. So when she saw that someone wasn't baptized, she immediately wanted to help him. My companion is also super direct and it's helped us so much with the progression of our amigos because we get to see their true feelings and we get them talking.
We continue to work with less active members and we met a super cool new family this week. We ate good desserts, joked around, talked a lot, and built trust! As we left, she said we need to come back way more often! I love everytime we meet a new family and I hope we will be able to help activate them.
Chile is the best! I have definitely been blessed with the people I've met and especially the ward I'm in now. Time is flying by, and at this point I don't even want that to happen because I'm just enjoying every single day to the fullest. Also shoutout to the Argentinian family that gave my companion a Messi jersey and a sweet jacket to me. Just a small example of the small acts of kindness these members show to us every day.
Love, Elder Collin Steele
