Hola
familia y amigos,
So first HAPPY
CUMPLEAÑOS!! ¡¡¡¡FELIZ BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!!
Oh my gosh you are so
old!!!! And in your pictures you and Luke are huge and have leg hair and
it is just weird!!! NO!!!!!! And I am pretty sure you are taller
than me as well! well chuta?
So we can a big
service activity this week for the entire stake and we did three different
projects at the same time. The men and elders went and cleaned a lake
that has a lot of swans. I guess they were pulling sofas and chairs and
tables and a whole bunch of trash out of there. no wonder a lot of swans
have been dying near there. Another group picked up trash on the beach
and in another local that I cant remember. And then my group all the
hermanas and boy scouts ( I have no clue why we were put together hahah). We
painted over graffiti on the beach. It was fun!! There were like 70
of us painting the entire wall of the board walk. It was great and nice
way break away from the norm for a little bit.
Also today we had
leaders counsel, where all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders meet
with President for the morning and discuss the status of the mission and what
we are going to do better and ways we can change to help raise the mission to
the next level.
Today we focused on Family
History and Temple Work with Missionary work. It was based on the talk by
David A. Bednar in last months issue of the Ensign! it is on page 7 or
something! READ IT!!!
So as a mission our
goal and vision has been on the temple. Not just on baptisms but to get
people to the temple through baptisms. And one way we are going to do
that is through family history work. On of the things we have to do
before next month is fill out the pamphlet called "MY FAMILY"
So I have had mine filled out with names, but I don´t have any pictures
so I would love some pictures of grandparents and great grandparents. Thanks
mom and dad!! Also I was searching our family history a few weeks ago when we
were helping one of our recent converts with his and we know our ancestors of
the Corbett name back to the year 1089. Seriously that is so long ago.
That is crazy!!!! I love family history work!!! I can`t wait to work even
more on it when I am home.
Also during the
consejo we had a learning activity and made chocolate chip cookies in the
process. They were so good!!!
Also I was talking
with Hermana Baturitè the other day and she has only been to the temple twice
in her entire life!! Twice I tell you!! She lives 12 hours from the
temple in Brazil and so only got to go once before her mission to do baptisms
and then the other time was in the MTC when she received her endowment.
Crazy right?!? I just want to say that I am thankful that we live 1 hour
away from the temple and even in bad traffic it is only 3 hours(haha).
Which is a lot less than 12 or even 6 here in Concepcion. And they pay a
huge bus fee to get there. A lot of sacrifice but I feel like they value
the temple more than I did because of the sacrifice they put into it.
Also we have heard news that the Concepcion temple will start
construction and be finished in the year 2015!!! It was announced 6 years ago
so hopefully this time it will all work out!!!!
Love you all!!!
-Hermana Corbett
STAY CALM AND GO TO
THE TEMPLE!!!!
