Thank you so much for emailing me, I really appreciate it. Riley is getting ready for the season, time to go get 'em. Time absolutely has just gone. Two years ago I began the senior season. Wow, where has it gone. It is so weird to think about but time just happens and there is no stopping it. I am so glad to hear about Brandon and Chads mission call. Spanish speaking mission too, good for them. That would be so great to have them in the MTC. They are going to love it there. Tell them to just enjoy it while you have it because once you leave it you will begin to appreciate it more. I enjoyed the days in the MTC, so many memories. Keep taking care of grandma, she is such a strong person. The Lord is blessing her for what she has accomplished in her life. Tell her I love her and miss her. Thanks for the encouraging words about what Elder Maxwell stated. I can use that when I talk to people. Most people see God in the image of a super hero and think that he will save the world from danger. So they chose not to believe in him. I declare repentance to all of them.
It has been a fabulous week and I have really enjoyed it much. This week while teaching Lynne, we were able to teach her Tithing and Fast offerings which was also the last of all the commandments and she understands them well. The only thing that is holding her back now is the Word of Wisdom and we have done what we can and we will continue to do our best. It is coffee that is that problem. We have given her a blessing to overcome it and we will continue to meet with her to motivate her to keep the Word of Wisdom. I feel she is ready for baptism and I know she has a testimony of the restored gospel. We will continue to help her and with the help of the members she will do alright.
I had the great privilege to go on an exchange with Elder Ashcraft. I think that it was probably my favorite exchange I have had. I really developed a greater friendship with him and I know that is important to have. We had some great experiences, one is it had rained on us when we were riding on the bikes and I believe we were soaked beyond imaginable. We were wet for the rest of the day. Because of that opposition, we were able to find two new investigators as a result. There is opposition in all things and I have a testimony of that. One of the investigators is names Nisha, she was so receptive to the spirit an I was so grateful we met her. She also was so excited about the message she wanted to share her friends and family. Next was Nina, who said to us that meeting us was no coincidence and has the urge to read the Book of Mormon and learn more for herself. I am grateful for these great people and we will do the best we can to bring them closer to Christ.
This weeks weekly focus for the zone was so much fun. It was called awkward finding. The object of the focus was to identify who to find for that day and keep account of them. For instance, we were looking for people who were on phones one day and the next we were looking for people who worked for the council. It made finding fun and I am grateful for that experience. It motivates me to work hard while enjoying what you do.
Tomorrow is sports day and I am so excited for that. I will be able to play proper sports for the first time in five months (the last sports day). Yes! It will be a fun experience. I also have a great week looking ahead and some great potential investigators to follow up with. In fact there is a great opportunity to teach tonight. And its a family! This is the fifth week of the transfer, so fast isn't it. So you'll get an email from me in a week and a half.
Well have a great week and I belive it is your birthday this week too. So have a happy happy birthday
Love you, Elder Tucker Corbin
