Elder Cook Week Thirty-One


Querida Familia

We had a baptism yesterday!!!!  Ah man it was so awesome.  One of the guys that got baptized before I got here baptized him.  It was so great to see the change that can come into people´s lives from this gospel!  He comes out to work with us every day!  One month he´s baptized, the next he´s baptizing, and he wants to serve a mission!  From that one baptism, there will be a bunch more. So cool.  I also taught a lesson in English this week!  It was kind of hard to teach in English and super weird.  I used a lot of Spanish.  But it was sweet!  He´s from Georgia, and he´s received the missionaries before.  He has two kids and he said he´s trying to change his life!  I tried to get another gringo to come teach with me but he had to go to a meeting so I had to teach it solo.  My companion couldn’t really participate in the lesson.  He just held up a few pictures for me.  I think he will be baptized pretty soon. 

Probably the weirdest thing that happened Grandma was when I ate cow stomach soup again, but this time with the added bonus of the meat inside a cow foot.  Lolos has nothing on that.  My companion is from Guatemala City, Guatemala.  Our house is super humid.  But I think I´m adapting to the weather here.  We went into the bishop´s office for correlation meeting yesterday and there was an air conditioner in there!  I got cold.  

Love you
