Ah man
we had an awesome week! Our
investigators are doing AMAZING and everyone’s going great towards the baptism
dates! We’ve had some super spiritual
lessons and the member were spot on with their testimonies and explaining
questions and organization of the church,
We’ve been able to leave appointments feeling so grateful that the
spirit had helped us all out so much. All
the investigators who we have are right on track.
We also
had our house flood like four times this week on Tuesday at like 4am my comp
woke me up and said in English “Elder we’re floating. Our house is floating.” I got up and realized
there was a good inch or two of water on the floor! It looked like it had rained hard and the
back porch drain didn’t drain so it all came in the house. We figured something had crawled up the drain
and died in there, so we hooked a bunch a metal hanger together and tried to
push the gunk out. We took buckets and
got out as much water as we could from the house and porch. Then it happened again another night, but it
didn’t rain that night! We couldn’t
figure out why it was happening, until today.
We figured out that the tank of water, which is underground, wasn’t shutting
off when it received water, so it filled up, then filled the porch, then filled
the house.
We also had a real Christmas dinner
at the mission Christmas Activity! It made me miss American food so bad. We ate salad, mashed potatoes, turkey and
ham! America just makes food right. Well, we’re working hard out here in
Beautiful Rocks! Everything’s going
great. You know something I realized
today? I love fasting! I know that doesn’t sound like the kid you
knew before he left to Honduras does it?
I love how strong you can feel the spirit, how close the Lord is, and
how amazingly fast he answers what we fasted for. It’s such a blessing to be able to fast. Just handing over a little bit of what the
body craves to the Lord makes a huge difference in our spirits. Pray, fast, read the scriptures, and go to
church! Just remember that we don’t know
what will happen tomorrow, so the time for repentance is today.
Love
Elder Cook
