Hey! How's it going? That's good to hear that Sis. Anderson is doing better! And about Rylee's wedding, cool beans. It seems like everyone's getting married but I love being out here and not really having to deal with any of it.
So this past Wednesday I received my new companion, Elder Soutas. He's from South Jordan, Utah and is awesome. He's only 1 transfer ahead of me so it's been fun to go around as fairly new missionaries and talk to people and such. We also received 2 green sisters into the district and there are 2 missionaries who are going home the end of this transfer. Elder Jensen went to the Houston area and is now serving as a district leader.
We had a district meeting that reiterated a training we received about teaching Baptism through the Restoration and it was awesome to see that as we used the training that same night we were able to commit 3 new people to baptism. It amazes me how the Lord knows what he's doing and he'll guide his servants to do what he needs if we just implement what he has already given us. I hope to do the same this next week as I listen to conference that I'll be able to come away with things to improve on and plans to do so. I encourage you all to do so and I know the Lord will bless us for our faith to follow what he has given us. Sorry I don't have much to write but hope you all have a great week!
Love, Elder Cooley
