This was a great week! We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of miracles in our area as well! Elder Welker and I are already really good friends! He's from Los Angeles, plays sports (he's really good at baseball), and can sing as well (our apartment can still sing as a quartet!), speaks really good Spanish and works very hard! It was fun to hear about how things were in Corpus after I left and to watch him face the same adjustments that I made 6 weeks ago! Time is flying by faster and faster each day! It’s nice when we can find small moments to take a breather or just enjoy what’s going on around us!
We had one of those experiences on Sunday! One of the missionaries in our zone is named Elder Ferrell and we found out Friday that his sister and brother in law (who live just outside of Brownsville) were going to be baptized on Sunday and wanted him to baptize them! We got to drive over that Sunday to be with him and it was such a special baptismal service! He was so happy and it was fun to see their mini little reunion! Elder Ferrell was the first convert in his family and now all of his brothers and sisters and parents (except his oldest brother...the oldest of 6) have been baptized! It’s so great to see families coming together through the gospel!
This week we're focusing on becoming more diligent! I was
grateful for the words in Preach My Gospel in the Christ-like attributes
section on diligence. Our diligence shows our love for God and His work and we
can only be satisfied with our work if we do it diligently! It’s definitely one
of the characteristics I want to have! Im grateful for the example of alma
(Alma 43:1) and hope to be as hard of a worker!
We’re seeing so many miracles in our area with new families
and I’ll tell you about them next week!
Con amor,
Elder Cook
