So
tomorrow are changes. My comp is out. I am training. There are 5 new
elders coming to the mission and 4 of them are latinos. I would love to
train the american but it isn't likely!! But that is fine! I am a little
nervous to train but also excited because i'm gonna be able to do
whatever i want and try a whole lot of new things!!
Carlos didn't get
baptized this last weekend because after passing his baptismal
interview, he drank a cup of coffee.... haha he is just the funniest
guy. He said his sister didn't give him anything else so he had to drink
it... like i said, he doesn't have full processing abilities. So we had
to explain that sometimes if they give him coffee, he cannot touch it
at all and it may mean that he won't drink anything... on Sunday morning
he told me they gave him coffee again... but he didn't touch it. So he
will get baptized this Saturday.
This
last week we had zone conferences. Elder Ochoa came. He is amazing. He
is from Mexico but speaks English 100%. I believe he will be an
apostle... Way funny but also way spiritual... He called the whole
mission to repentance... Performed miracles....read minds.... and made
us laugh.... Honestly amazing... In one of the conferences, while
president smith was talking, Ochoa just walked out of the chapel...
People that he was going to the bathroom... He didn't come back for 50
minutes... everything was thinking "what the heck??". He gets the
microphone and explained what happened. He said: He felt that someone
needed him. So he left the chapel. kneeled down to pray and felt he
needed a companion. So he asks some random church maintenance guy who was
in the chapel to be his comp. They walk out of the church, and touch a
door... The guy didn't want anything... but said his neighbor needed
help. So they touch the door. Nobody comes to the door. His comp says,
"lets go. nobody is here". Ochoa just waits without saying anything. 10
minutes later, a women opens the door. She looked distressed and sick.
turns out she needed back surgery. She could barely walk... she was
supposed to be in bed the rest of her life. Ochoa says he was sent from
the lord. He asks her if he could give her a blessing. She says no. He
explains the priesthood and how he has authority. She then said yes
please. He gives her a blessing. SHE WAS HEALED. Now she wants to listen
to the missionaries and be baptized.... hahahah how crazy. Everybody
was just crapping themselves when he was saying this.
Other
stuff happened like this. Ochoa was perceiving missionaries thoughts
and told missionaries the questions they wanted to ask... One time he
paused for a minute. wrote on his ipad. gave his ipad to the assistant.
asked a sister what her question of the soul was. And then he told the
assistant to read the ipad. And it was the same exact question.... He
knew That specific sister had that question.
In
the middle of the conference, he was talking about faith and randomly
points to a sister from Utah. And says, ÿou are a chosen women of
God"... He said it in english and then just continued in spanish talking
about faith... This sister cried the rest of the conference... hahaha
such a crazy conference.
Love you guys!!
Elder Corbett
