Hola Familia y Amigos,
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 every day. 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 every day. 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 'disobedient'. 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!!
