Hey Everyone!!
I hope that everyone had a great week! I can't believe that another week has gone by, time is just going to fast. But life goes on and its not going to wait for you! But we had a pretty good week this week. We were pretty busy and had some fun things happen this week. But to start off this week Elder Cooley and I decided that we wanted to make some gumbo, and learn how to make it, so we called one of our Cajun friends and he gave us some instructions on how we can make it. So we had almost all of the stuff any ways so we were pretty lucky! But it took about 1 hour or an 1 1/2 hours to make. And it was super good, we had some other missionary's come over to try it to see what they thought, and they said out of all the Gumbo they had had on the mission's it was some of the they have had!! So watch out when I get home i can make some good gumbo!!
But this week was pretty good, a little slow at times but we tried our best! We have a guy who is really trying to find the truth and has really been a answer to our prayers. He was a old investigator that i wasn't able to see with my last companion, and when we went on exchanges with one of the Elder's who was here before, he was able to introduce us!! But we taught him the restoration and he really liked it, and hopefully he will start to come to church. Also a kind of funny story when we were on exchanges, they started this new thing in our mission, were when you go on exchanges you will double work the leaders area. So we were out tracting, and trying to find some new people to teach. Our phone went off, and i quickly looked and it was a Potential investigator that i had no idea who it was.I was super surprised as well because nobody ever just calls us and tries to set anything up with us. So i answered it and started to speak in Spanish and ask him who this was and how he was doing. From the other side of the line i just hear, "Dude i can speak English man!" and i was super confused, and tried to start a conversation with who ever it was. And then after I asked how he was and maybe if we could meet with him, the person on the other line said, " Dude..... This is Elder Cooley do you not recognize me?" And i just started laughing, but i guess Elder Cooley was tracting as well and tracted in to this guy, he said that a long time ago the missionary's use to come and teach him, but he hadn't seen them for a while and didn't know why they stopped coming to his house! But that was a huge blessing and kind of a funny experience!
But nothing to crazy happened, other then we had a dinner appointment on Thursday, and they had made us so much pasta that i almost threw up. I had to have Elder Cooley drive because i was about to die it was so much food. But other then that we have a couple of people that we are working with and hopefully get them closer to baptism. But I hope that everything is good and all is well. If Taylor is reading this, don't get married until i get home or i will not be happy!! Also happy birthday Colby, i can't believe you will be 17!! Have a good week and love the gospel!!
