Another great week up here in Corpus! This week was a pretty
good transition week for us! The 4th of July went well, it felt a lot more like
a Saturday but a lot of people went downtown for the parades and fireworks but
we spent some good time with our members!
- Jessica and Marky had their confirmations this past Sunday!
We visited them just about every day this week. We're working with them but
also their younger siblings JJ (12) and Alyssa (14). They both came to church
as well and had a great time! Marky and Jessica both got up in church and bore
their testimonies! We felt so proud of them and the wards both loved them! They
came to the YSA ward for the first time and everyone welcomed them with open
arms! Before they left Jessica went around and gave everyone a hi five! She’s
always happy and is probably the friendliest person I’ve met on my mission!
Marky is a pretty mature guy who likes asking questions and is just as
friendly! After Elders’ Quorum in the family ward he went over to a new member
of the quorum in his 30’s and welcomed him and started a conversation about
engineering! We felt like the world’s proudest parents!
-On Thursday as we were biking a man stopped us and told us
his name and address and invited us to come by on Sunday in about 30 sec! We stood
their shocked for a second and had a good laugh about it! Last night we went
back to talk to him and he told us how he’d never been "evangelized"
before in his life and wanted to know what we did and shared! He asked us a lot
of great questions and we set up a lesson at the church on Wednesday! His name
is Brian and he’s an Analyst for the army! (haha...he asks some GREAT
questions...one of his first being: Do you know who Melquesidec is from the
Bible?). He's way prepared and we can already see how he’s going to fit into
the ward!
Lastly I thought this week a lot about how we always have to
increase our faith! Serving is such a great way to instantly feel our faith
growing and see it working in the lives of others!
Sorry its short this week! Hope all goes well for you!
Con amor,
Elder Cook!
