Week 21 1/20/19 Another week, another 1000 milagros.

¡HOLY MOLLY, I LOVE THE MISSION!

Being a missionary is just so fun and just the best. We had a super tough day of just contacting a ton on Friday. Through the whole day we were like" the darkest nights bring the brightest Dawn's". We had next to no success all day. And then at night we had our first cita not cancel on us (7 canceled on us). We were pretty excited to finally teach again. Everything was going really well and Then....(dun dun DUUNN) his drunk friends showed up. He left for a while and we were left with his friends. The first guy was super nice and then the second guy was not as much. He said a lot of choice words because we were American. We then got kicked out of the cita cause he almost tried to throw a punch. Then we started knocking doors again. We knocked on a house that had a really nice family we met before. We knocked it and he then showed up right behind us in his motorcycle. He let us in and he had a ton of questions. It was a super good appointment. It's was really cool cause if we didn't get kicked out by those drunk people we wouldn't have had time to knock his door before our next cita. GOD HAS HIS PLANS FOR US. WE JUST NEED TO BE HUMBLE. 

Scripture for the week 2nephi 4:19-20 "...nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted..." 

Love you family, friends, and everyone in between

Week 20 1/13/20 Move refrigerators in Mexico 1/13/2020

This week was as amazing as the rest! My comp had the diarrhea. I had the stuffy nose. And we also helped move a huge fridge down two story's with just rope and manpower! Mexico is NUTZ!!! Love this place so much! 

Guillermo and his family is finally progressing. On New Year's Day he stopped drinking completely. He's been almost two weeks clean. (This was all his own accord.) We had a really good lesson on the restoration. He had read 4 CHAPTERS OF THE BOM! He had a bunch of questions and was super receptive to everything.  It's amazing what being sober will do for a person. He did ask if it's ever okay to kill someone (he has a lot of anger for someone) we of course said no. He and all his kids then came to church the next day and I think they enjoyed it a lot. It's awesome to see all the progress in them. Love this work. 

Del olmo family. This family was a miracle that we even found them. Family of 6. They have about 10 years in the church! But they've been totally inactive for 3-4 years now. They told us they 100% agree that the church is true and that the BOM is the word of God. So why don't they attend the church??? It because some members and the bishop was very rude to them and they stopped feeling welcomed! Stupid! But in our talking with them, we just kind of listened and let them tell their story, near the end were like "oh shoot! We need go to church again?!" We didn't even say much to them. It's awesome what having the spirit can do to people and help them realize their own answers if they're open to it. They also said they need to get their brother baptized cause they need to get sealed in the temple. They hopefully will actually come to church with a little bit more working with them and the ward . 

In my Spanish reading of the BOM I've gotten all the way to 2nephi 2. I know 4 months and already that far! I'm killing it. hahaha but in 2 Nephi 2 it talks a lot about how we have 2 choices. 1) the good  2) the bad. The two choices are always there in our lives. It explains how we will also experience both sides. (Go read - Lehi does a better job at explaining it)  My take aways from it though are that no matter the choices and the things we experience in our life we always have the CHOICE to choose Christ and try to become better through him. Becoming like Christ and being Christ like is just that! It's a choice. I'm thankfully for my pains and my afflictions cause it's given me the opportunity to come unto Christ and choose him. I invite you all to choose Christ in your life. To chose to live like him and chose to be like him. And if you screw up just look to him to help you repent.

Love y'all. Bye!

Week 18 12/30/19 Christmas and stuff

Dear gente 

This week was Christmas (If you missed it). working on Christmas Eve here is super tough so my comp came up with the grand idea to make a giant board that said "como te ha bendecido jesucristo en tu vida". (How has Jesus Christ blessed your life?) We then proceeded to place it in the middle of a area called the Gardin where there's tons of people. Then for 2 1/2hours we stood outside on Christmas Eve asking people how Christ had blessed their life and asked them to write it down and stick it on the board. We sang hymns. We talked with everyone about Christ and it was just a cool night. Biggest testimony strengthener was how everyone that was open to it left with a bigger smile then when they first started talking.

*I invite you all to think about what Jesus has blessed you with and write it out on a sticky note and stick it somewhere. In your journal, Desk, idk anywhere.*

 I promise that as we recognized Jesus and God in our life's more, the more happiness we feel with our circumstances. I know also that the more we share those experiences the more we will feel the spirit testify that they are from God and your testimony will grow and strengthen. Love y'all! 

Hasta luego 

Con amor, 

Elder CORBETT 

~~~~I promise I'll have pictures next week. I've been slacking for the past few weeks. Sorry I'll be better.~~~~

Week 17 12/23/19 CORBETT WEEK

  I'm on the 11 week of training and I have to lead basically everything we do. My comps been hyping up this week since my first day with him. I had no idea what I was doing half the time but I learned a lot.

First recap of funny dumb things this week. 

-I straight just ran into a metal pole and it made that sound like I'm the cartoons. Super funny.

- member fed us mole enchiladas (gross food) right after talking about how bad it is for our stomach and how gross it is. 

-we watched Polar Express at our Christmas party. 

-we absolutely killed it in the ward and mission talent show with our perfect dance to in poco loco. 

Any ways this week was awesome. We started CORBETT week with some solid contacting after an appointment fell through. I had no idea what to do so we said a prayer and just started in a good direction. We started talking to this young man named John going in to his house with a dog. He was pretty interested so he sat down with us and we taught him about finding spiritual answers through the book of Mormon. He was super in to it and we both felt that we needed to talk to him about baptisms. He committed to baptism and is pretty excited. 

Then we went to an appointment with a cute couple we contacted on the convi. We had a rough day and were lacking energy but they are just the best people ever. Silvia is super pregnant with their first child and Fernando is working and studying right now so they don't have a lot of money. They still went and bought us cookies to eat while we talked and warmed up hot coco. They are nervous for a new baby so we taught the restoration of the gospel and how this church is the best place to raise and cultivate a strong happy family. We all felt the spirit super strong teaching us all the truthfulness of the message. We asked Fernando to offer the last prayer. He was a lil nervous but he gave a beautiful prayer and again we all felt the spirit super strong and after he said he felt really good. We explained that that's the holy ghost and it's telling home he's doing what's right. He asked if we do marriages (they aren't married, very common here). He also said he's not babtised out of nowhere. I love that couple so much. They are just awesome people already. 

Christmas is this week and hope everyone has an awesome Christmas remembering the why of this season. I invite everyone to watch the Christ child video for the first time or again this week. It's so beautiful and just shows the humility in his story and his life. 

Siempre hasta luego y feliz navidad y prospreo año y felizidad. 

-Love Elder Corbett

(Family only)

I have so many more stories and thing I want to share each week about how my testimony has grown in Christ. The apostles felt pretty similar too. John 21:25" And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen" and amen John I can't write them all cause he does to much good in my life each and every day. 

I know that Christ lives. He is the only way back to God. I testify that he is our savior. He love each and every one of us and gave his life. His entire earthy life, from birth to death, all for us. All for other. I know this things because the holy ghost has made it manifest and I have felt his expiacion and his love very powerfully in my life. Remember him always.

Merry Christmas family.
