This week for me was a week of adjustment due to transfers. I got to say goodbye to Elder Maughan and sent him off early in the morning. I then waited around with some other missionaries for our new companions to come in. So my new companion is Elder Zundel. He is from Ogden Utah and is a good guy. We have been working hard this week trying to continue where Elder Maughan and I left off. So that has been good.
This Thursday we went to Martha and Jorge's to help them pick up eggs and to teach them. Luckily a member comes with us that speaks Spanish. He teaches them in Spanish, and we pretty much just sit there and try to follow a long. I really wish I could speak Spanish so I could understand what they are saying. But the lessons in Spanish have been helping a lot. They have come so far since the first time I met them. They are actually coming to church next Sunday. It's kind of funny because it's fast Sunday and Martha really wants to go to it.
Besides that we apparently had bad weather, I guess. Every time I hear that I just laugh thinking that they hype it up so much, because I haven't really seen bad weather while I have been down here in the south. It may have rained hard for a few minutes and thundered. Anyways besides that this week has been a few hours of tracting and no one letting us in. I am not sure what happened but it seemed like everyone was just to hard to let us in.
Then on Friday we had a bible referral, so we went and contacted her. It was so funny. We began to teach her and her family came and they were Southern Baptist and have heard so much about Mormons, that they pretty much stopped the lesson and just began asking us all these different questions. A lot of them are your typical ones, but then they got into some really weird stuff that people have been telling them. So we were answering their questions and they would ask, where is that in the Bible? So we would show them. But when we asked what their pastor would tell them, it was this crazy stuff that wasn't in the Bible and they would believe it. It is so sad how they ask us to prove it, but they don't ever ask their pastor to prove it. Besides that this week I gave a talk and that is pretty much it from me. I hope Y'all have a blessed week.
Love Elder Corbett
