Another Week (Jan. 21, 2013)


I just realized that my subject titles are never really exciting, but I never know what would make a good title.  That was always my least favorite part at writing papers in school, was coming up with the title. This has been a pretty good week. We have three new investigators this week which was nice to be able to start teaching more people. The good thing is that all of them have families and hopefully we will be able to start teaching them as well. We have a lot of investigators, we just need them to start keeping the commitments we leave with them. A lot of them say they are going to come to church, but a nobody has shown up so far.
 
The ward is really good, and is supposed to be one of the best wards in the mission, so I hope that I will be able to stay here for a while. The ward is very supportive of the missionaries and tries to find people for us to teach. It is way bigger than Heathridge, so it has been harder to get to know the members, but I am starting to, and it took me a while in Heathridge.
 
I am excited about tonight because we have an appointment with a potential investigator. She has been going through a really hard time and really needs the Gospel in her life. She also has a really bright little girl who is interested in religion. I can just see how she has been prepared, so I really hope that she will be home, and that she will accept what we teach.
 
We just need to catch up with some of our investigators because there are some that I have not been able to meet because they are never home when we drop by. So hopefully this week we will be able to catch them at home and be able to teach them again.
 
Not much is new, just trying to learn the area. We went on exchanges earlier this week so I had to find my way around. I was surprised that I only got lost once, and that was because a street name was not on the map so there was no way for me to find it. I am doing well, and am excited for the potential that is in this area. 

I hope everything at home is going well.
 
love,
Elder Cook
