Sounds like you had a great Fathers Day!  That's crazy to hear that Max Webb is back already.  Time flies.  As for the new area and companion, I am with Elder Scavo from Palmdale, California (He went to the same high school as Afroman) and this is his last transfer.  He's an awesome missionary; he was previously a zone leader and is a very funny guy.  Our area is the Missouri City South/Fresno area (2 areas combined for now, both of which Elder Scavo has served in previously).  We cover a big part of the Missouri City Ward (there are 3 companionships in the ward) and also the Fresno branch (just us).  The Ward is pretty big and runs well and the Branch has about 15-20 members and we meet in a rented spot at a strip mall.  All the members are awesome and we have some great investigators. Because this is Elder Scavo's last transfer I'll be here for a few transfers so I'm excited to get to stay in an area for awhile again.  


I am loving this new area and there is a lot of work to be done in the vineyard.  In district meeting we talked about faith and how they are related to miracles and I was reminded of all the sweet experiences I've had in seeing miracles come to pass in the lives of people I've had the privilege to work with.  This truly is the work of the Lord and he desires to bless his children.  Anyways, hope you all have a great week!

Love, Elder Cooley
