We had the Mexico general authority
visit and tell us a few things. He told us to work with members and also to set
inspired goals. It's was spiritual and also very confusing at times cause he
only spoke Spanish. I was a bit lost at
times. Good stuff though. Spanish is coming along great. :)missions are just
peachy
We had CORBETT day a couple weeks
ago when I got super sick but now it's my comps turn. He ate a bunch of Burger King for his birthday. He then
started getting tummy problems and then just was totally wrecked the rest of
the week. (Lesson: don't eat state food in Mexico). Then at the start of the
week I was getting terrible migraines. So the whole week one of was some kind
of sick. We still had some awesome Milagros. We have started teaching a familia
flores of like 12 and they approached us to be taught. I feel they're going to
progress pretty nicely. Then their neighbors are even more ready. Family Colin
Noranjo(?). They are just gold. They ask all the questions we usually have to
fight for people to do or ask. They've asked for a book of Mormon and promised
to read. They asked where church was and then showed up!!!! But also with a
vecina (neighbor) it's CRAZY! They have so much love for God and just love in
general. I can't wait to see their progress this week.
We also got to eat with a member
that's husband is pure American. He doesn't know really Spanish so it was just
a great meal filled with the latest movies that have come out and just inside
info on the states. I don't really care I was missing stuff until he said the
new Mandalorian series of star wars is to die for. So now I'm just dyeing
inside waiting for that. Hahaha
On a more spiritual note though...
In Matthew 22: 37-40 Jesus explains
the two greatest commandments. 1) LOVE your God with all thy heart, soul, mind
and 2)LOVE his children as you LOVE yourself. Verse 40 says though that all
other laws/commandments hang on these two.
Wow. I thought about those 4 verses
a lot this week. I sometimes feel it hard to experience the great joy of
sharing the gospel talked about all over in the scriptures and general
conference. I started thinking though... Why am I sharing this gospel !?
I think my motive has been a lot of obligation and to feel like I'm doing
the right thing cause a book I know is true with all my heart said so. But if
I'm doing these things not out of a place of love of course I'm not going to
enjoy it. Once I realized I've had some awesome experiences of just feeling
pure joy and love for the people here. I just love this gospel so much and all
the joy and hope it can bring into people's lives.
I want everyone back home to know I
love them and that this gospel is a gospel of loving others. So this Christmas
season go show it and share that love.
Love, Elder CORBETT
