Sounds like y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My Thanksgiving consisted of 2 dinner appointments back to back; it was a bad idea seeing as how I could barely ride my bike after. However it was fun to eat with the members and share a thanksgiving message with them. That is awesome that Sis. Anderson can go to the temple again! I've been meaning to ask, how is everyone in the ward? How's Quintin Begay? How's everyone? That's awesome how Elder Scott got changed to Spanish, it’s a lot to learn but the gift of tongues is very real. I met an elder from the MTC that as soon as he got in the field his call changed to Spanish and he said he was amazed at how fast he was learning the language.

So update on Mando, he was interviewed by someone in the mission presidency since we can’t teach Muslims without them getting an interview from them. He passed the interview and the sisters are beginning to teach him, he has come to church the past 2 weeks and me and Elder Jensen are going tonight to see how he's doing.

We have experience many miracles the past couple weeks, we have gotten 23 new investigators and we are slowly but surely helping them progress. One night I was praying and was asking were the Lord wanted us to go, I heard a distinct voice say,"Go all the way", and then the thought came that we should go to the end of our area the next day. I was a little hesitant because I wasn't sure if I was crazy or if it was a prompting from the Holy Ghost. As we followed through with it we went to the end, neglecting some visits that we had planned on doing at that time. We got to the end of the area and didn’t know what to do, we starting knocking doors and nothing was going our way. We decided around 5:30 to go and see the people we had planned on seeing at 3 (These weren’t visits we set with the people, but rather to stop by to schedule a lesson). As we got there we knocked on the door and no one answered. We decided to knock the door across the hall and then a man answered. We introduced ourselves and Elder Jensen asked, "What is the importance of Jesus Christ in your life?" The man thought and said, "That is a good question" he then let us in and as we taught the 1st lesson he and I remembered that we had seen each other a few days earlier. He was talking to a friend and we were riding our bikes, we didn’t stop to talk but I smiled and waved at him. During the lesson he said it was a sign from God that we were there. As we gave him a Libro de Mormon he was very anxious to read, we set a baptismal date and as we scheduled another lesson we learned that he gets home from work at 5 everyday. If we had come at the time we had planned we would not have met him.

It is amazing how involved the Lord is in this marvelous work! Many other miracles have happened this past week and I wish I had time to explain them but anyways, I love y'all and I pray that the Lord will bless you in your lives and that you will be able to see the miracles he performs.

Con gran amor,

Elder Cooley
