Hello friends and fam!
Its been a great week! so long but also so short. My Companion, Sister Winkelman is the best. She loves to laugh and I just love her.
We are learning a lot. One time we were having a real hard time focusing. We weren't getting anything done besides practicing our photography skills so we decided we should focus a little harder. We said a prayer and we legit had the most effective study time right after that. It was so cool because before we were like "can't we just go back to our residence now???" but after we were like "Noooo we don't have enough time!!" It was a good lesson that I am trying to remember, because the classes we have here are what you make of them most of the time. Except when our teacher Sister cook teaches. She is a SPIRITUAL BEAST. Honestly if anyone listened to her lessons they would probably want to just get baptized right then and there. Someday I want to be more like her. Because she's just so Christ-like and always knows just what to say. Its amazing. We are blessed.
Sunday was such a good day. We watched Ephraim's Rescue. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE. You should all watch it. It was probably the highlight of my week. At the very end of the movie it said, "Lift others as you have been lifted" and I just loved that and I think that is the whole purpose of life and missionary work.
Today we went to the Temple and as we came out it was super foggy and it had been raining all night and all morning so it was so beautiful. It reminded me of the primary song "I Like to Look for Rainbows".
I love my district. The Elders here are great. The districts that got here before us I guess were being really loud in their residence and I don't know the specifics but our branch presidency was getting a lot of complaints. So the Elders in our district, before anyone even said anything, decided that in stead of following that example, would have a devotional together every night. Wow. who does that? They are going places. The other Sisters in my district are also going to Chicago and I love them with all my Heart. Sister Prisbrey and Sister Young both are the only members in their family right now and did not have a lot of support from their families to come on their missions but they are such good missionaries. We have lots of fun together too. ;)
I am learning a lot and am so excited! :)
Love,
Sister Corbett
