Entonces porque Ustedes no quieren escribirme este es su recompensa! Espero que pueden entender mi español porque nadie me escribieron. Este semana fue tan rapido que sentì como solo pasò 2 dias. Un poco mas de èxito esta semana pero solo tres asistieron a la reunion secramental. (Quiridos family and friends, 8-29-11
Then because you do not want to write this is your reward! I hope you can understand mySpanish because no one wrote me. This week was so fast that sentì as only begins 2 days. Alittle success this week but only three attended the reunion secramental.
ok mom made up for all of you and because I received her letter I will write to you all in English. We have alot of promising things this week and its been great. We had transfers and just took a little of that day to recharge and start over, we changed around our study room and that helped me out a lot. Some days I feel like I want a different area just to get another start but other days it’s just nice to be comfortable. I was looking at the transfers and I thought, If I stay in this area one more transfer I will leave 2 days before my 1 year mark. That’s crazy how quick the time is going. But I feel super charged again and happy more than anything to be here and get to testify of Christ EVERYDAY!! IT’S THE BEST!!! No one in the world has a better thing that they could do all day.
So Wednesday, I don`t know if I told you guys that we had one of the quorum of the 12 apostles, It was really cool, it was with 3 missions! in one chapel, it was so cool. I finally got to see some of my friends from the mission and as well some from other missions. You guys don`t know any of them but it was cool. It first started off with him wanting to shake our hands. all of us! and us one by one got to shake his hand, then the 1st and 2nd counselors of the seventy of the south America northeast presidency spoke so great! it was awesome and then he got up and spoke to us, he spoke to us in Spanish but it sounded like he was speaking French. He served in France and was a mission president in France but speaks a little of Portuguese and Spanish. Can you guess yet who it is? truly his Spanish was horrible but there was a spirit there that I can`t deny. He testified to the divinity of Christ and as well of his special calling. He said he is an ordinary man but his calling is something Extraordinary. And he told us our calling might be a little bit like that. We are normal kids trying to do what’s right, we don`t know a ton but we know that this is true and I will never deny it! This is the true church of God and I know that Elder Neil A. Anderson is a Apostle of Jesus Christ himself. He holds the keys of the kingdom of heaven and only 14 other men in the world hold those keys! He is a witness of the things unseen and how real the spiritual part is. He told us he came without a talk and as were shaking his hands he wanted to know what he should talk to us about. He talked to us about what really the 1st presidency expects of us as missionaries and he had 4 points that were wonderful. It was a good good day!!!
Oh and just a funny story I was at church yesterday and we sit near the door to great people when they come in but this family walked in and behind them this super white "gringo" walks in behind them and I was like WHAT?! cool I wonder what he`s doing here and church had already started but I said Hi to him and didn`t talk to him until the 3rd hour. and he was normal, real laid back so I thought he understood Spanish and everything and we were in Elders Quorum and we (THEY) were talking about what kind of women are the LDS women and how their the best and what we expect in young women (for those that didn`t have wives) and he ask this kid (he probably is 18 years old) what he expects of a young lady. and he just says with a smile "no entiendo" haha I wanted to laugh so hard because he was just listening like he could understand everything. But then I translated for the teacher and he gave me his answer and I translated back, it was a little funny! I then talked to him after and he is visiting his family that’s here and he`s from Sacramento, California and will be here for 5 or 6 weeks. I thought that was so cool so maybe I`ll help him out a little bit!
Well for this week that’s about it, we have a baptism for the 17th of September and we want to have like 5 or 6 that day so we will see what happens!!
Love you all and thanks for you prayers and have a wonderful week,
Elder Corbett-El Anconero!
