Poor Elder Corbitt flies home tomorrow :(. I served with him for two transfers and we were blessed with so much success and miracles. I don't know how the Lord does it but he continually pours out His Spirit upon those who faithfully seek and serve Him. I've learned a lot from Elder Corbitt and I'll miss working with him. He's got a funny sense of humor that's unique to him and he's such an effective worker, planner, and just knows how to be a great missionary. I just hope I can fill those shoes.
My new companion is Elder Call. I've known him for quite some time here in the mission and I'm really excited to work with him. He's a great missionary and loves to work. I'll keep you all updated how things go :).
This past weekend we were blessed to see Clarisell be baptized and confirmed. She is such a special lady and it's been amazing to see her change and accept the gospel. The members are doing great with her and I'm so happy for her. This next weekend we have two more young women preparing to be baptized and they are really excited and so is the ward. Carolina and Margarita are their names and their family is one of the very special ones that I've been able to meet out here. I'll send pictures of that next week too :).
This weekend and yesterday were great days but also some of the hardest, ha-ha. They were great because we taught a lot of really good investigators and we also had a little surprise farewell for Elder Corbitt. The members thanked him for all he has done and there was a bit of food and pictures, etc. But then Monday, yesterday, was great and terrible at the same time, ha-ha. The only bad part of the day was that we ate with almost everyone we met with yesterday, ha-ha-ha! That's one of the worst things about transfers! We ate at 1:30 a hugeeee lunch, then at 4:30 another family gave us some desserts, at 6:00 some more desserts, at 7:30 another surprise dinner that we did not plan for, and then at 8:30 another surprise dinner, ha-ha. Let's just say that the three of us were beyond full and I have no idea how I was able to eat in every visit. We got out of our last visit a little late and we didn't think we were going to make it home on time because we couldn't run at all since we were all way too full of food, and we were a little ways away from our apartment. But right then a member drove by and waved at us and we, without even pausing to think, asked if he could give us a ride and he said yes! Talk about a blessing, ha-ha.
Everything here is going great and I'm loving every minute of it. The heat is finally starting to arrive unfortunately but that was expected. Time to sweat off all the weight I just gained yesterday from eating so much, ha-ha!
I love you all so much and thanks for your incredible examples. Until next week!
