Good Week (April 22, 2013)


This was a really good week. While the work is not as fast as I would like in this area, it did pick up this week which was good. We finally got a new investigator. It is the father of a former, and hopefully we can start to teach the whole family. We also found a potential who was pretty keen to learn from us, unfortunately he works in the mines so we will not be able to see him for a bit, but it was nice to have someone be interested.

We also had a mission conference this week, which was really good. Elder Rasband of the presidency of the seventy was there with a member of the presiding bishopric, a french name I cannot remember. Also Elder Watson of the area presidency, and Elder Meurs, another member of the area seventy who actually lives in my area. They are visiting Australia and a couple Islands and met with all of the missionaries that were in the city. It was really cool to be in the room with four general authorities. They were really good and definitely lifted the mission. 

In one of the letters I got from Mom she pointed out that I never answered a question about food. So I a really missing Mexican food, but my ward mission leader is an American and we are going over to his house for dinner this week and he said he is making Mexican food, so I am really excited about that. The food is not too different, but I am beginning to miss American food. I do not even know how to really explain how it is different, more British I guess. Then there is New Zealand and Island food, which is hard to explain also. Lots of meat and rice. It is all good, but not the same as home.

Besides that still lots of finding going on.

Love,
Elder Cook
