Catfish, collard greens and a day with Elder Monibidor

Good day mates!

This week has just flown by. We have been working pretty hard and also having a lot of fun! I love Elder Deming he is a good guy!

This week we went and tracted for about an hour and a half and no one was answering. I was getting super frustrated because it was a Friday night and everyone should've been home, so we kept going and knocked and knocked. Finally we come to a house with a guy that was sitting outside. We went up to talk to him and his first words to us were not very nice. But I know God lead us to him because he was going through some hard things. I think it helped him to remember God, and all that he has done for him. We got talking with him and his fiance had just broken up with him. We shared a scripture out of the Book Of Mormon and he loved it! He wants us to come back often because he loved the feeling that he had while we were there.

Also this week we went to a southern restaurant. It is called Cock of the Walk and it was really good. It was my first time eating fried catfish and also this decent thing called collard greens. They were actually pretty good. Normally people don't like them. It was a lot of fun.

Then on Saturday I went on an exchange with an African Elder. His name is Elder Monibidor! We had a lot of fun and did a lot of work together. I think we walked about 5 miles in the morning to an appointment that fell through. It was sad but we got blessed for it. We saw an old lady on a porch who I thought was really old, so i just said hello and kept walking to the appointment and on the way back Elder Monibidor, he being out for only 3 weeks, walked through her yard climbed up on her porch and introduced himself. We sat down and taught her. It was great!

Also later on that day, we went and saw Kenneth. This time we are taking a different approach because he has depression and a few other mental things. We went and played Uno with him and listened to him play the saxophone. It was really good. He did want to come to church with us, but sadly we couldn't find him a ride because he lives about 24 miles from the church. But we will get him next time:)

Also I called Dale last night because it was one year from when he got baptized and he told me that he is going to general conference and that he will be receiving his endowment next week!!! I was so hyped!:) But anyways that is all for me!! I hope y'all have a good week.

Love,

Elder Corbett
