Two Letters in One



3-10-13


Hey!  So I’ve been in a three-way companionship and one of the elders was going home. It was actually pretty hard to focus! He was always talking about home and it makes it hard when the only contact we have with family is through letters. Right now my companion, Elder Templeton, is the man. He goes home in four weeks and we are killing it and focused.

With the new age change announcement given at the last general conference, we are seeing changes in the mission. Right now we have two gun sisters in our zone and its all good but get this… there are 16 sisters coming into the mission next transfer. Things are changing.

Our zone is going good! We had a good Zone meeting this last week and a lot of missionaries are on board with us…we are united. As Zone Leaders we definitely don’t have as much time as we used to to find but its still all good and we have had a good week. We got some new investigators, set some bd dates and all is going well.

Wow okay pause... so this is now two weeks later since I wrote the first half of this email. I'm sorry I've been so busy! So I'm actually emailing Sunday night right now too! We are emailing at the office with the assistants because we are going to Kalgoorlie tomorrow which is about 7 hours inland on train... pretty awesome! We get to go do some fellowshipping out there and it’s going to be fun as!

We had a really good week this week. We had a great lesson with one of our investigators and we invited her to church. Well today she came and I felt like I was on top of the moon. The sad part is that the two people that gave talks in church today, spoke on doctrine that would be hard to get without understanding the principles of Christ’s gospel. It was frustrating. After sacrament we texted her and she said it was interesting and she would read the Book of Mormon and get back to us.

Anyways, I’ll fill you in on a voice message later.

Keep the Faith,
Elder Cook
