Week 23 2/3/20 Birthday party with the whole street.


Week 23 2/3/20
I'm keeping it short this week cause honestly I just wanna take a nappy. 

So... There we were.... Walking the street after another full night of citas all fell... We went to go visit a family we had a cita with on Sunday to invite them to church too. We were on his street about to knock his door when so random guy just started talking to us and invited us to talk with him and his family. They were cooking because it was that guy's birthday. He invited us to eat with him. Then they took their giant pots to the neighbors house who we've been trying to get into for a while too. They were all super welcoming and awesome. About 25 people were there all from that street/coldest sack. We've started teaching some of them now. The whole street knows us now and just loves us a ton. 
I learned 2 things that night while we just ate with a bunch of strangers and enjoyed a meal together. 

1) missionary work and find people should be joyful and fun 

2) first and foremost we are all brothers and sisters spiritually. Some people at the meal didn't want to listen to anything about our religion but they still respected us and loved us first. We have much more in common then we have different. We didn't teach anything with them or had a formal discussion with them but we made relationships and that's where it all starts! 


Love y'all hope y'all are doing well. I'd love to hear y'all's experiences and just your weeks/days/months. You know where to email me.   austin.corbett@missionary.org
