Transfer News (May 6, 2013)

 This week has been really good. We were able to meet with that lady who called, but were not able to actually teach her yet, but she is really keen and keeps on setting appointments, instead of waiting for us to set them. This week was also weird because because people would start talking to us. There was a car we biked past at night and as we passed this lady opened the door and asked if we were mormons. We turned around and started to talk to her. At first she was curious about us, but then started to preach to us, and then was interested again. She was drunk and a little weird, but we are going to call her this week (if I am here) and see when we could come around. And a couple other times people would just start talking to us. They were not interested, but really nice and it was weird that somebody would approach a missionary. And I have some transfer news. The Assistants just called and said that I am going country! I am going up to Karatha, which is way far north and is a mining town. Elder Shin will be my companion, who is from my intake. This will be really new and exciting. And mom, to make you feel better, I have not heard of Karatha being dangerous at all. Also it is one of the higher baptizing branches. I can say I was not expecting that. I am sure I will have heaps to tell you on mothers day.

love,
Elder Cook
