Monroe, Louisiana

This week has been a blast. My new companion Is Elder Maughan. He is such a great guy. He was in my last zone and we would always talk when we would gather together as a zone. I was so excited to see that I was his companion. I am also in the city of West Monroe. That is where Duck Dynasty actually lives, so it is our goal to hunt them down and knock on their door and hopefully make it onto their tv show.

So to start off, let me just say that we are on bikes, and we did a lot of bike riding this week. The first day we biked I was going so slow and I was wondering why because I can normally keep up with most people. I finally figured out that since I haven't ridden my bike for awhile, that my tires lacked air so I was driving on flat tires the whole time. So luckily the next day I pumped them up and it was a lot easier haha.

We also were able to find a few people because we were working so hard. We set a few people with a date and we are hoping that they will be able to make those dates. But the sucky part about my area is that there is a paper factory here, and when we are outside it makes the air smell like a poopy diapers. It is so gross.

Then on Friday, we went to help some of our investigators out and do some service. Their names are Marta and Jorge. They are hispanics that work on a chicken farm. So there job is to pick up the eggs that hatch. It is actually a pretty cool process. But it was an all day event, and they also fed us. It was actual mexican food, and it was pretty interesting, because I am used to American Mexican food. Then on Saturday, we were supposed to go over to their home to read the Book of Mormon, but the man who was supposed to pick us up wasn't able to. So Marta asked her neighbor if he would drive her to pick us up. So all four of us road in a single cab truck! It was funny. As we were talking with the driver, he said that he has been in some of the Duck Dynasty tv shows, and he was telling us about it. We drove past a road that Cy lives on, so Elder Maughan and I are going to be tracting that area and try to find him. That's pretty much it from me this week I hope y'all have a good week!!!

Love Elder Corbett
