My week has flown by! I have been loving it here in Jackson!! So my comp is Elder Dugmore and he is such a good guy! We get a long great. We have so much fun and work hard!
My first day in Jackson was Thursday, and we have been busy ever since. On Thursday we got back to our apartment and dropped off all of my luggage and then we had to travel to give someone a blessing. We did that and when we were walking back to the truck, (yeah we drive a Toyota Tacoma:)) there was this large man that was looking for his appointment. So we helped him find it. It was so funny because he asked us to push him in a wheel chair. I was dying because Elder Dugmore got to push him around. The guy started telling us about how he used to be a drug dealer and this was just the start of the conversation. Then we had dinner with a member and a few lessons. We got back at like 9:30, so my day was from 5 am to 9:30 pm. I was exhausted, so I unpacked a little bit, and went to bed. I woke up and we went running and then we weren't going to have any time Friday for me to unpack so I did it between 7:30 and 8:15. It was great because I'd rather be this busy, than having nothing to do. So this shows how hard we have been working.
This weekend we did all that we thought we could to get our investigators to sacrament meeting. We got solid commitments, and we also found everyone a ride. We had around 10 people lined up for church. Then we woke up Sunday morning, and all of them start dropping like flies. Everyone came up with an excuse, and we only ended up having one person attend church. It was kind of rough and depressing because we did so much to get them there. I learned a lot about adversity and how we just have to push on through it.
That's pretty much it for this week, since I emailed you last Wednesday. I love you guys and I hope you have a good week.
Love Elder Corbett
