Howdy! So today is Monday, my p-day. Just waiting for the laundry right now. So everythings been going great and such. The first few days seemed like eternity but once it hit Friday its been going by faster. So my companion is Elder Simmons, he is basically my better half. In my district there are 6 elders y 3 hermanas. Me, my companion, and Elder Dalley in my district are all going to Houston Texas South so thats awesome that we'll be going together and such. Elder Simmons is super goal oriented so our time here has been very productive.  So basically our district is the best, Elder Thacker is the District Leader and he is a great leader, very humble and always willing to serve. Me, Elder Dalley, and Elder Snasal are the senior companions and still learning our responsibilities.  It has been way spiritual and awesome! I am so excited for the next 2 years of life as I become more acquainted with the Savior and his gospel. I am loving the spanish language and all the learning.  Me and Elder Simmons have already memorized our purpose and the first vision (in english and spanish)! El comida es muy bien. For gym time we play this epic 4 square game, its basically 9 square.  Thanks for all the love and support, I dont really know what to say but if you have any specific questions than feel free to ask.  So far we can pray and bear our testimony in spanish along with just basic getting to know people stuff and such. I've seen a lot of Elders from Mesa and even an hermana so its cool to see people you know from back home.  Hope all is well at home and send everyone my love, El evangelio es verdadero.  Obedience is key. Love, Elder Cooley

Yo y mi companero en nuestro residencia.  This was the first night, after one of the longest days of my life.
