Uncle Si

This week we went and tracted into Uncle Si. It is actually a crazy story.  We knew the location of the house, but we were not sure which one it was. So we thought that we should just tract the area to see if we could find him. So we went to the first house and knocked, and a black lady opened the door. So we were like dang it's not him. But then we figured out that she was just the house keeper and we did knock on the right house. So we started talking with the lady but Si was asleep, so she got his wife and she just totally shot us down. I was so sad. We were so close, but yet so far.

Then later this week we had an return appointment with a guy that we met. Sadly he wasn't there, but his girlfriend was.  So we taught her and helped her. On Thursday we went to an investigator's home and helped pick up chicken eggs again. It was so much fun.  Then on Friday we did more service for a member. It felt like he just wanted free labor.  So Elder Maughan and I painted this man's room, and he didn't even help that much.... But it's all good. Then on Saturday we went on exchanges with the zone leaders and it was so much fun.  I went with Elder Ahanonu. We counted it out, and this is our 5th exchange together. So we teach pretty well together. Later that night I was back with Elder Maughan and one of our investigators called us at like 9:30 and asked us to come over and she seemed a little  different, like something was wrong.  So like good missionaries, we forgot the in by 9:30 rule and went and saw her. She has been going through a lot of crazy things.  So we gave her a blessing and got back around 10. But we were doing good, so we felt like it had been a good decision. Then on Sunday we went and saw a family we have been teaching and it was so funny. We started talking about this lady that has been staying with them. They told us that she is 25 and has 8 kids. I did the math and that puts her to be pregnant for about 72 months, which if you divide by 12 is 6 years of her life....so she had been pregnant for more than 1/5 of her life which is crazy. I hope y'all are doing well.

  Love Elder Corbett
