What a great week

This week we were pretty busy. To start off, Elder Brown and I tracted into a Jehovah's Witness lady. She was such a nice lady. She invited us in to get us out of the sun, because it was a hot day. Anyway, we were able to talk a little bit about our beliefs, and I had the idea to act like I was interested in her religion, and wanted to investigate it. So she gave me all sorts of papers and pamphlets. She also gave me one of their bibles. Then after that, I asked her if she has ever had been told why Mormons are called Mormons. Elder Brown then taught her, and at the end I asked her if she would be willing to accept a copy of the Book of Mormon. She did, and we were both shocked. The reason why we were shocked was because in the Jehovah's Witness religion they are not allowed to accept or read literature from any other religion. So hopefully she will read it and be baptized.

Besides that General Conference was amazing. I have come to realize that if you don't sleep through it and snap chat people, and actually pay attention, that you can actually get something out of conference. It is awesome to listen to all of the messages that were shared. Just remember not to take the gospel for granted. It is amazing to reflect out here, and see what a blessing it is, to have the gospel in my life. I definitely took it for granted back at home.

We have 2 baptisms coming up this Saturday, and I am so excited for them. I hope all is well for everyone. I love y'all.

Love,

Elder Corbett

P.S. I made Rice Krispies and took them to the church to share and give to the people who showed up to watch conference! Everyone loved them. I thought it was so funny because they weren't even that special, but they loved them.
