Another Week (November 4, 2013)

This has just been an alright week. We biked up a massive hill this week to get up and see the investigators in the other missionaries' area. I almost died going up it, but I think we are going to do it again this week. That family is doing really well. They came to church the last two weeks. The three children all wanted to be baptized and had dates set. This week the mum has said that she knows that it is true and knows she needs to be baptized. It is really cool to see the changes that she has made. She has been prepared. About three months ago she started going to her own church and made some big changes that were really preparing her for this. Hopefully they will be baptized at the end of the month. Even though we are not the missionaries teaching them we still see them at church, and try to get up there once a week so we can teach the recent convert there as well. It is also cool because they all are like a sponge, just wanting to know more and willing to act on it. The kids still need to make some changes, but they are young and have that desire.
We also had a zone conference on Friday. It was good to be able to see heaps of missionaries I have not seen in a while. It was also cool to be able to learn from President Lindsay. This zone conference was different than the ones in the past. Normally they have an obvious theme that President Lindsay tries to push, but this one was not like that, I could not pick out a real theme. I kind of liked it though because it allowed all of us to take from it what we needed to get from it.
Love,
Elder Cook
