So this has been a pretty good week. Last P-day we actually did something. We went hiking in the hills close by and we both enjoyed it. It was good to get out of town. It is also cool because an aboriginal tribe used to live up there and there are heaps of rock carvings. It is also no wonder why mining is so big up here. Elder Shin would hit the rocks with his ring and it sounded like metal. I knew they were iron because they were red from the oxidation, but I did not realize they would sound like iron as well. Today we are going fishing in a neighboring town with our investigator who is getting baptized. We are not sure if it will be this week because he does not feel like he is ready so today we are going to talk to him about it and try to help him. We would like to have the baptism this week so it can be in this transfer, but we need to make sure that he is ready. It was really cool because we have been praying for him to help him know if he should be baptized now and feel prepared. All of church was an answer to that. All of the lessons and talks were exactly what he needed and it was so cool to see that Heavenly Father is helping us and him.
It was also cool because we were helping a less active member with some service and she wanted us to start to teach her 9 year old daughter. The mum is deaf. The girl is really bright and the primary is trying to get the girls to come to church. They have come before and it will be good to work with the branch with them. Those are pretty much the main people we have been focusing on this week. Hopefully we will be able to continue to find people and help them. Also yesterday the branch watched the Work of Salvation Broadcast. I think that was my third time watching it and I've listened to it twice, but every time I watch it I learn something more and get excited. There were not too many members that were there to watch it but most of the branch council was there which was good. I just hope that we will be able to continue to work together and find more people that are prepared to receive the Gospel.
love,
Elder Cook
