Just a short thought...

Hola mi familia!

Things are going great down here! Elder Welker (a missionary I knew in my last zone) is coming down from Corpus to be my new companion! He arrives on Tuesday and it will be a great week! I’m really excited! I'll share a small member work miracle that we saw this week!
So la Hna. Carillo is a member who lives in our area and we’ve grown really close to that family! We’ve been trying to find different ways to help involve them in missionary work and this week we saw a great miracle! We asked Hna. Carillo if there was anything we could do to help her after a meal appointment and she mentioned she was looking and trying to find a less active family that lived way out in the boonies of our area (it’s the boonies right about the Southmost boonies!)  She gave us an address and asked if we could go by because there were only mailboxes and unmarked houses! We went by and after stopping at a few of the houses (country farm houses)- we talked to a man named Robert! He was very friendly and invited us in (even though we just told him we were looking for his neighbor!) and we had a great lesson! The best part came after we talked with him about baptism and he accepted and then shared how he wants his family to be together forever! He opened the scriptures and shared Acts. 16:31 with us!

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

It was so obvious to see how the Lord had prepared this man and how by the Spirit and because of his humility and faith in Christ...Heavenly Father has helped him find a lot of truth (such as eternal families, baptism at accountable age, praying only to god) on his own! I know that Heavenly Father is mindful of each of His children and knows exactly where they are at spiritually!
Con amor,

Elder Cook
