Hola Familia y Amigas,
So it has gotten
really cold this last week!! Like really cold!!!!!! So I saw a world map
for the first time in like 6 months and I was examining it and realized I am
more south than like 95% of the world!!!! That is really south people. I
thought I was kind of south, ya know, even with Africa and Australia, but I am
even more south then them!!! The only thing south of me is parts of Chile,
Argentina, and the Penguins!! Well anyways it has rained pretty much all
week and it is called snow rain which means it leaves the clouds as snow, but
hits us a rain. So pretty much it is the worst of both worlds, because it
is cold, but it also soaks in like snow doesn´t. But we enjoy it.
And the whole family knows that I hate rain, but surprisingly I have
started to enjoy it a little bit. But if any of you want to send me
anything warm, like socks that would be great!! haha
You know it is cold
when...
...your wear 3 pairs
of socks and your feet are still icicles
...you see your breath
as you are singing in church.
...you can´t blow your
nose because your snot is frozen inside.
...you put your face
against a cement wall and it warms your face up.
...you can see your
breath as you are falling asleep.
...when your
electricity goes out for 2 days and you don´t have to worry about the food in
the fridge going bad.
...when you have
sheets, a normal blanket, an electric hot bed pad, a mummy sleeping bag, 2
thick wool blankets, a water holder thing that is super hot, and you are
wearing 3 pairs of polar leggings, pj pants, wool socks, 2 long sleeve
t-shirts, and a sweatshirt. And you still wake up a little cold.
...when the members
tell you that this is not even bad yet and the worst is in July and August.
3 MORE MONTHS!?!? I can do this, I can do this!!! Si se
puede!!!!
The only other thing
this week is that we have studied as a mission The Atonement of Jesus Christ
and how we can apply it more to our lives and especially in being more
obedient. And we did a fast all together at the end of the week to receive the
strength to be more obedient. It was such a good week! The study of
the Atonement helped me so much. The main thing I have learned new about
the Atonement is that it is not only when we fall or when we commit sin, but it
is for those of us that are doing well as well. Christ is here for me
through everything, THE GOOD and the bad. He is here to say to me that for me
to reach my potential I CANNOT do it ALONE! I have to have him and rely
on him to reach the goals that I have for myself and that he has for me.
And that his way is ALWAYS better!! Read the talk from this past
general conference: Sunday Morning, David A. Bednar. I think. It
helped me so much!!!
Also we have been
asked to invite our families to read and study Preach My Gospel. It is
such a great guide for missionaries, but it is not just for us! Its purpose is
to help preach his gospel for anyone!!, Members and missionaries alike.
Well I love you guys a
lot and thanks for all that you have done for me!! Still have not gotten
my package but I think I will be getting it in the next two weeks, because I
think it is sitting in the office right now and no one is coming out here for a
little while! :( But I am excited to get my boots!!!!! And REESES!! Love you
all!!
Also Congrats to
Brooke and Kirk you got their mission calls this past week!! Brooke is going to
Argentina, and Kirk to Provo!!! YEAH!!!!! Go Missions!!!!
Con
mucho mucho amor,
Hermana Kate Corbett
