Elder Cook Week Eighty-Seven

Hey Familia!

We had two amazing baptisms yesterday!!  Everything went great and they gave such heartfelt testimonies at the end. Then today in church, a member gave one of the people baptized a white shirt and tie, and then another member gave him another tie! This ward is so great.  It was really nice to see that when we leave here that they will be in good hands. 

Kinda funny story. The other day it was raining crazy, crazy, hard, and up in the pueblo it’s all dirt streets and there were literally rivers running down it.  We were walking home at about nine through the mud until we hit the river.  My companion decided to go back a ways where it was more shallow, but I just took a running start and jumped it.  I got my ankle kinda wet, but not too bad.  Apparently some guy was watching me and he decided to follow, but he was a littler guy.  So he took a couple of practice starts, and then did it for real.  I believed in him because of all the effort he put into it, but he landed about half way into the river, and walked out soaked up to his thighs.  He stopped and looked at me and just said, “Almost.”  I died laughing for a couple minutes and then we got a great contact out of it!  We are going to visit him and his family this week. 

Our zone is doing awesome!  Right now we have the potential of baptizing more this month than the last couple of months combined!  Everyone’s really focused and working hard to meet goals and find more people to teach.  I love getting the chance to learn how to be a better leader and to help other missionaries reach their potential.  Everything’s great over here in Beautiful Rocks.

Love you guys,
