This coming week will be the last week of the transfer, so next week it will be exciting to see what happens. We know that Elder Su'a will be training next transfer so that means that I will probably be moving. The only reason I would stay would be if I am training. The entire zone keeps joking that I will be staying because I have not left the zone yet. It is impressive that I have not moved from the zone, but I find it funnier how many areas in the zone I have served in. This is my fourth area in the zone. It would not be as impressive if I had spent heaps of time in two areas, but I keep moving from area to area.
I know in the past you have asked me what we do for P-days. Normally it involves some sort of sport at the chapel. Last week we had heaps of fun playing lazer tag as a zone. normally lazer tag would be fun, but this one was even cooler because it was outside. The place does lazer tag and paint ball, so we were basically on a paintball course. Also they had a couple different areas so it was cool to mix it up. Normally lazer tag places have rules like no running, or crawling, or things like that, but this one had none of that. It was also nice because a member owns it so missionaries get half off. It was probably the best P-day I have had so far.
It was also cool as this week, our ward mission leader invited us over for dinner and we brought an investigator along. It was a good dinner because it was mexican food, and the family is American, so they could make decent mexican food (still not as good as home though). It was the best mexican food I have had on my mission so far. So I guess you know what I want my first meal to be when I come back home. Besides the food though the lesson was really good and we can tell that he definatley felt the Spirit.
We also had a cool experience. We got a call from this lady who got our number from other missionaries and said she wanted to meet with us. I was a bit stunned and set an appointment. I was a little confused because nobody just calls and wants to meet with us. We called the other missionaries who gave her our number and they told us that other missionaries had given her their number. They called those missionaries and told us that she was a less active wanting to come back. It made more sense then but I was slightly dissapointed, not that it was bad she was a less active, but I really wanted her to be an investigator. We go to meet her and she is really nice and we talk to her like she was a member. Elder Su'a asked if she was the only member in her family and she said yes. Later the conversation turned to how long has she been a member, and she did not understand, so we reworded a couple of ways and she said she was christian but not really religious. So we asked her if she is mormon, and she said "No...not yet." I really wish I could have seen my face at that moment. We were unable to teach her then, she just wanted to meet us first, but we are seeing her tomorrow. When people contact you we call these Cornelius moments, from Acts when Cornelius finds Peter to get baptized. So we learned that she is a former investigator who wants to be taught again. This was a good week and the area is slowly but surely picking up.
Love,
Elder Cook
