Dear
family, 6-25-12
This week has been awesome, with a lot of distracts but really awesome.
We had our multi-zone conference which went so well. It was really inspiring
from the president, we talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon, how
to find people to teach, and teaching better the commandments because lots of
people here in Peru don´t pay their tithing, and that keeps them from the
blessings of the temple. I wrote a talk about the importance of the Book of Mormon
and about how God has prepared the Book of Mormon for these times from the
beginning! And it’s so interesting when I went to look for scriptures, the book
throughout testifies of itself. And it was a pretty sweet talk and then I
wanted to give it at the mufti zone and I wasn't called on! :-( But that’s ok I
learned a ton, and now I have another awesome talk ready for when I need it!
;-) I also learned that in training you learn 25% preparing for the training,
25% in the actually training, and then 50% of the training you learn after
applying what you learned. I guess we could compare that to as well General
Conference. 25% preparing to hear the prophets and apostles, 25% listening, and
the 50% applying what they have told us. So look at how much of the lesson we
are losing if we don´t prepare before or if we don´t apply it after 75%. That’s
a lot we can learn and a lot of faith we can build. So prepare, learn, and
apply!
Ok as well this week we moved houses!! WAHOOO Finally!! I´m so happy in our new
house I feel so much more comfortable and clean. We have our privacy and a
super nice family! I love this place and it nice that I can walk around the
rooms with just my socks and they don´t get all dirty! :-) We feel the peace
but we have been super tired these last couple days because we have been
packing and things at night and not getting to bed until 12 or 1 in the morning
and then waking up at 6:30 kills ya a little after 4 o 5 days. So today will be
a nice day, after playing soccer we will go and rest! There are also people in
the house that aren´t member so we are going to teach them! Our pensionista
isn't a member and she was taking a ton of lessons from the missionaries a
while ago. almost got baptized but didn't, so now it’s time, I think we came to
this house for a reason because there are a couple other things that were going
to happen if we didn't move in there. So life is good, the Zone as well is
getting way better. The goal every week of contacts is 70 for every
companionship and all but 2 areas made it, and the lowest number of contacts
was 62!! There are 8 companionship in the zone. And yes I´m zone leader still,
me and my companion are the zone leaders. Our companionship is the zone
leaders! It’s pretty cool to be zone leader and fun to work with all the
missionaries on work visits and things like that!
Well I hope everyone has a B-E-A-utiful week and love every minute of every day,
and all that sunshine because we are getting less here, during winter all cloud
cover every day without rain, its sad! :-(
Love you all,
Elder Corbett

package cereal (that cereal that was always our favorite, put that in the box)
