This has been a great week. Elder Pearson really got all of the missionaries motivated. This week we were able to get a couple solid investigators. On Friday we had a really good zone meeting that was really motivating. We decided that we are going to create a new high water mark for baptisms in a month. Currently it is 6, and we are going to get 11. Elder Pearson taught us a lot about "trying." He quoted Yoda and then gave us an example of someone picking up a book. They cannot try to pick it up, they either do or do not. Often when we say we will try it means that we will put in some effort, but we admit that we will not do it. So that is why we are going to get 11 baptisms in March, not try to, but actually achieve it. We all have the faith to, and we will continue to work for this goal, and do everything we possibly can to achieve it. In this area we are going to get at least 2 baptisms in March. We are off to a good start. On Saturday we were able to teach a 24 year old girl for the first time, and committed her to baptism. She is getting baptized on Feb. 23. Elder Pearson promised us that the people we will baptize in March are people we have not met yet. We are going to focus on finding people, and have the faith to know we will be led to those that are looking for the truth. We are so excited, it is hard to explain. There is not a doubt in my mind we will set a new high water mark, and that I will get 2 baptisms in march (if I stay in this area). We have so much faith right now, and this week we will set more baptism dates. We were also able to get 2 investigators at church. Ever since Elder Pearson came we know we will have success, and it has happened. Now we just need to keep it up through March, and there is no reason it should not continue for the rest of my mission.
love,
Elder Cook
