Thanks for writing me again, I really enjoy reading your emails. I am now on the third Cd called Then Sings My Soul. This one is so great and every morning when I listen to it I feel the spirit so strong. It has some of my favorite songs like How great thou art, Lead kindly light, nearer my God to thee, and how firm a foundation. All just so good.
Sounds like Riley had a good tournament. He must really be coming on strong with the basketball. Just let me know when you think he may be taller than e because I think I am growing a bit too, so I am giving him a run for his money. I heard about Jimmer from one of the members, they really like basketball and they are such a great family. I am glad for Jimmer getting on a team that I am ok with him being on, haha. At least he has a good chance to redeem himself at the next level.
We haven't had any new investigators or even a lesson with an investigator now for about two weeks. It can be a little bit frustrating but we have a few potentials this week that I am looking forward to meeting and sharing the message of the restored gospel. I'll let you know how they go next week.
I got to go on an exchange with Elder Wright in Burnley and it was such a great success. We even had a new investigator when we went finding. We got to teach this young man about age 17 and he invited us to come into his home. It was such a great lesson and he wants to learn more. I am a firm believer in miracles when an exchange happens. I have seen a few dozen of them when I have been on exchanges in the past. I am looking forward to my next exchange in Chorley with Elder Jolliffe.
There is a great member in our ward named Robin Knowles. I can just tell he loves to be with the missionaries and he cares for us so much. He made me a Birthday dinner that was just fantastic (even though it was a few weeks late, he wanted to do it right). It was American style burgers and fries and I really loved it and for dessert he bought me a cake and made me a cheesecake, so that a total of two cakes. He also made us an updated ward list with a number reference, 1 being an active member and 4 being an inactive member that has no contact. Also, he highlighted all the YSA in the ward. We are now able to use this to our advantage and make things happen through the ward list. He is also taking us out today top go see the view of the valley, it is a clear blue sky and it feels like home. Ill get picture for you to see next week.

I am now in Jacob in my B of M challenge and I really am learning a ton. I love it so much. Also that talk that i was reading, which i am still studying because it is so good, is in December of 1980. I am not sure if it was the 19th but check and see. It is that good you must read it. I have learned so much about the atonement the last two weeks and It isn't coincidence at all. Zone conference was all about the atonement and it was great. Gospel Doctrine class in church was too. I have a great appreciation for what the Savior has done for all of us and I understand how it all works more fully. There is still a lot to learn though.
Well I hope you have a great week, tell everyone I said hi. Take care
Love Elder Tucker Corbin
