Transfers are here again! They were later this time and we
just found out this morning! And tomorrow I’m going back down to the valley!
Specifically Brownsville! WOOOHOOO! I'm really excited! It was a pretty big
surprise! I’m happy for the time I’ve spent up North and it really has been a
good test for me as a missionary! I’ll be in a car too so looks like the
sunburn risk is going to be lower!
Last week we had a mini zone meeting with the Maluendas and
it was incredible! They only speak Spanish to the missionaries and a lot of
people were nervous to talk to them! I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from
their trainings. They have 4 kids that are living here with them, a son on a
mission in California, and a daughter from BYU who is coming to visit as well!
Definitely different from the Trayners but differences are what makes us unique
and individual! Presidente Maluenda spoke often about the importance of being
obedient and diligent and enjoying our missions! He shared a really good story
from 1 Nephi 16. I invite you to read it again this week and learn about how
Nephi applied his faith and obedience! He made the good point as well that
Nephi had to help Lehi fulfill his duty as a prophet when he asks him to pray
for direction and that's a great lesson of humility for us!
This week Elder Graff and I grew a lot closer together as a
companionship and we really had a lot of fun! It was great to see his
improvement over the past few weeks and I know he’ll do great things with the
area! I’ll miss being on the water so often but it’ll be a ton of fun to be
preaching the gospel in Spanish again! I know the Lord hears and answers our
prayers and that as we serve Him, He draws nearer to us!
Con amor,Elder Cook
