Yazoo

Hello everyone,

  This has just flown by! We started the week off by going up to Yazoo City which is a very ghetto place. But it was a ton of fun. We took another set of missionaries with us so that we could double work the area. So Elder Atkinson and I went and worked hard but it got frustrating. We were going around knocking and this black guy called us over and wanted us to teach him. We started teaching him, and not even halfway through the lesson, he stopped us and asked us for $30. I got a little annoyed with that. People down here think that because we are church people that we will pay their bills for them. I told the guy that I live off less money than he does and that I actually don't make any money at all. But he was convinced that I was going to mail him the money. He made me write down his address and told me to write the check into someone else's name because he was having I.D problems. But the rest of the day went pretty well.

Then on Wednesday we had district meeting and that was a ton of fun. The zone leaders came and we had lunch before it started. It was a pretty good meeting.

Then on Thursday we went and saw our man Kenneth! He is doing great and still preparing to be baptized on October 28th! So keep the prayers going for him. On Saturday, for the afternoon session of conference, we got a member to pick him up and take him to their house to watch it. They also had dinner with him! It was great and Kenneth really liked it.

Also on Thursday we went to try a potential investigator. Luckily he was outside mowing his lawn so we stopped and talked with him. He was very interested in us coming back because he sees the signs of the times and he doesn't want to be left behind. But he has just been super busy because his son is now in college and playing football for Florida State! I believe that he is a freshman and that he starts.

Then this weekend we had conference and it was so good. It was very spiritual and it was great to watch and to know what God wants us to know for the next 6 months! I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all!

  Love Elder Corbett

Oh Yeah, Dale went up to Salt Lake City for conference and he got to go through the temple! So here are a few pics of him with my family, with my mission father and some other mission buddies!!
