So I have now had a full week in a trio!! It is a little harder to balance things and to know who is going to talk when in lessons and to balance all the plans and people of Hermana Montañez'ssector with all the people in our sector. But honestly I love it!!!
Reasons I love it:
-We talk with everyone. We have a goal in the mission for each missionary to talk to 10 people about the gospel everyday. That is 30 people everyday my friends. It is so fun. We are talking to people in the bus a lot more now too. We get on and are like invade the bus with the gospel.
-We have three phones. Normally each sector gets one phone but since H.B. and I are leaders we each get one and Hermana Montañez has one for her sector. We are always calling someone.
-We are not competing for members to leave with us because now we are one group.
-It is a lot easier to go on mini divisions because when we have one of the members with us we can divide and conquer more.
So all in all it has been a good week.
It sounds like the Tough Mudder was really fun and hard. I want to do one someday too!! I want pictures.
It has gotten so hot here this past week!! So hot!! But we are right on the beach so there is always a good cold breeze. Oh and funny story I have been carrying a frozen water bottle around with me and I put one of my sock on it to keep it frozen longer. And oh my gosh all the members have been making fun of me. haha It is so funny. They would look at my backpack and start to laugh and ask. "Is that a sock?" They also wonder if that is an American thing and I just tell them nope, it is a Corbett thing. The still laugh and then I tell then I will make millions on it one day. haha
So spiritual thought:
BE OBEDIENT!! 100% not 99%. I have found that we are being obedient to all of God´s commandments, but to a degree. We are reading our scriptures, but not everyday. WE are praying but not listening for the answer. We obey the Word of Wisdom, but overeat on meat and junk food. Often times we think we are exactly obedient to a commandment because we are not 'disobediente'. But we are losing blessings when we do not fully follow the commandments. I have learned about obedience compared to exact obedience in the mission a lot!!! One of my favorite quotes is "Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles." Something I have also learned is that we are not perfect and we should not look at all our imperfections all the time. We cannot overcome everything at once. I have tried...it doesn´t work!! haha So pick one commandment this week and study it and share what you learn with a someone and then make goals of how you can follow that commandment more exactly. I promise that you will see a difference in your week and see more blessings rain down upon you and the family!
Love you all!!
