Winkelbett. Over & Out.

Well these past 12 weeks have just flown by.

Sister Winkelman and I sure have had a grand time together.

This week was fantabulous. 

We still haven't met with Guy...................... He keeps coming up with excuses. Maybe they are legitimate. Hopefully we will meet soon. We are trying to get a member to invite him over. He seems to accept the invitations better from them.

My favorite day this week was Sunday. It was fast Sunday which is always great. And then we got invited over to have dinner at our Stake Presidents home and they invited a less active member he had been visiting teaching and we were able to meet her which was great! She brought her family and we just had a great lesson. 

While we were in dinner there was an ice storm. But we needed to make it over to Roberta's because she had invited us over for dinner as well to say goodbye to Sister Winkelman.(glad it was fast sunday) President Johnson said that we would probably be safer walking than driving because of the ice and luckily Roberta lives just around the corner from him. So we made the treck over to her home sliding the whole way there. Hahaha we were quite the sight. 

But we had a great visit with Roberta which is awesome because we haven't met with her pretty much all transfer. We were able to talk and the spirit was strong. She'll come around it's just a big transition, and it'll take some time. 

Next transfer Sister Winkelman will be going up to my last Area in the Elgin 3rd Ward! (whoot whoot)

And I will be training a new missionary again! I am very excited. It's going to be lots of fun!

Love,

Sister Corbett

I'm Freezing

This week was cold. We've been trying to keep busy even with freezing temperatures. Turns out online proselyting can actually work!

Guy texted us about some concerns he has with the Doctrine and Covenants. Hopefully we can help him resolve a few of them. He is so smart. He just needs to focus on the basics.

Over this Christmas break we have been able to teach a girl named from Vietnam and is a former foreign exchange student that stayed with one of our members. She has no religious background and no knowledge of who God is. And the only thing she knows about Christ is that he was born in a stable! We had the opportunity to teach her before she went back to Seattle and it was nice to go back to the basics. The very simple truths of the Gospel. 

I know that God is real that he created us and that he lives! I know that he sent is son to die for us. And that Jesus is the Christ! He rose on the third day and his church has once again been established on the earth through a prophet. 

It is very easy to overcompliacte things. But life is so much better when we just focus on the simple truths of the Gospel!

Love,

S.Corbett

-believe it or not these pictures were taken on the warmest day of the week.

What a Guy

This week was AWESOME.

We went on exchanges with the Canton sisters and S.DeGraff and I went to dinner at some of my favorite members home and they bought us tickets to go to the Christmas Tour of Homes where people in washington displayed their Historic homes and so people were inviting into their homes and we didn't even have to knock, treats were provided, and we got to share the Gospel with so many who normally wouldn`t have opened their door to us. It was awesome.

We also go to go on exchanges with the Peoria sisters and S.Reynolds and I gave out 3 Book of Mormons before 12! It was NUTS. We gave one to a sweet woman who owned a daycare. We read with her the story of Christ appearing to the children and it was a tender moment. We also gave one to a pastor for another church we ran into! And he lives in Peoria so that's cool. He really liked Mosiah 2:17. We also gave one to a woman who looooooooved #LighttheWorld she hugged us like 4 times. It was awesome and just a blessing that the lord placed so many nice people in our path.

We are gonna get these other churches. Haha. We placed an add for Free bibles on the Facebook marketplace and we will be giving some to this man who said his church could use some. so everyone in his church is going to be reading out of Bibles from our church, which I think is awesome.

On Saturday S.Winkelman and I had a super solid lesson with our recent convert April. The spirit was super strong and it was SWEET. Like District Quality.  because the members did all the teaching. I love member missioanry work here. And then we went to Guys and had a lesson with him and he officially became a new investigator! He's so smart he basically taught himself the Restoration.

And Sunday was the best. Because after a little over  5  TRANSFERS of not having anyone come to church, Guy came to church. It's been a lot of rejection the past 5 Transfers. But this was worth waiting for. He LOVED it. 

What a guy.

Roberta also reached out to us this week and we should be able to start teaching again after the Holidays. 

We also got a new ward mission leader this week and I am super pumped to work with Bro Jarnigan although Bro. Smith will be missed. 

The church is true. 

Merry Christmas. 

Love,

S.Corbett
