Week 63
Not as crazy of a week as we've been having, but nonetheless, a great week here in Coyhaique!
The weather is starting to turn into fall and we are definitely starting to feel the cold. There are still sunny days and warm days, but we definitely feel the beginning of what seems to be a very cold time. The rain and overcast weather also started, so walking in the rain is fun, throwback to all my fun times especially in Puerto Montt and my firefighter rain pants (definitely will be wearing those in the coming weeks) haha.
We had a pretty cool experience working with Facebook. I usually don't like to work with Facebook at all, but last week when I was sick I decided to use some of the time to send a few messages to people and someone responded and basically said "yeah, tell me what you want" super direct... So I decided ok, I'll be direct as well. I said we are missionaries and we have a message that will change your life. He said "OK, call me when you want". (usually doesn't happen like that). We had a great lesson with him and he even has the desires to be baptized. We will have to see how things go, as we lost a little communication with him over the weekend, but he said he had been super busy. But nonetheless, he was super excited about learning and it was a cool experience for sure.
We continue with the amazing family that we are teaching and they're progressing A TON! We had a lesson with the girlfriend of the member and they began asking us all about temples, marriages, and baptism. She told us she wants to be baptized, married in the temple, and raise her kids in the gospel!! It was definitely awesome to hear and something we hadn't really been expecting, or at least not that fast! The only catch is to be married civilly, they need an appointment, and the soonest is all the way in June. We are hoping to continue working with the kids, they just weren't there this weekend, but we hope to discuss baptism with them as well!! Teaching families is awesome, but definitely challenging (in a good way!)
Things are still going awesome and I'm super happy here in Coyhaique!! Elder Levar and I are excited about what's in store for us and what's to come! Gotta keep trusting the process!!
Love, Elder Collin Steele
