Inderjit!

Well. Another week has come and gone.

We saw many miracles this week. And found some pretty cool people that will hopefully soon become investigators. 

Last week, Sorella Epps and I met a man named Inderjit! He is from India and speaks very little English but Sorella Epps knew some about the Indian culture and was able to communicste some. We told him we were missionaries from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and he perked up when we said Jesus Christ. He got very excited and so we gave him a  book of Mormon and a restoration pamphlet and had him write down his number! We called him later that week and he remembered us and set up an appointment with us. Talking with him is very hard though becuae he mainly speaks Hindi so when we hung up we found that what we thought was his address didn't exist...

 We were doing service for our relief society President when it turned out she needed a lot more help then we thought so we stayed long and missed the appointment. But we gave Inderjit  a call and we were able to get at least his correct house number. 

We then went and drove around trying to find his home and we couldn't find it for a while but then we turned down a street and saw someone sanding outside waiting for us with a bright yellow turban! He had chairs set up waiting for us and his book of Mormon! We were able to give him some supplies in Hindi and we found out that he is a leader of his congregation but recently he has been very interested in the teaching of jesus christ and so he has been teaching out of the bible! Whhaaaaaaaaat? He is so nice and just a very sweet man. Hopefully we will find someone that can help us translate. So he can start teaching his congregation from the Book of Mormon too!

This week I also got to go on Exchanges with Sister MADSEN. We had so much fun. It was basically like we were going back in time because we were both in Rockford and it was strangely cold that day. I love her. I am so grateful for all the friends I have made on my mission and I know that we will be friends forever. 

Lots of prayers go to Elder Hinckley's friends and family. He was my last zone leader and had just gone home but was coming back to visit the mission and got in a car accident and passed away. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that Elder Hinckley has simply been called to another mission.

Lots of love,
Sister Corbett
