This past week has been awesome.  I can't believe that I've been here in League City for 6 weeks; neither can I believe that I am being transferred again tomorrow.  Well actually, I didn't feel like I would be staying and that feeling seemed to be true.  But either way, I will be where the Lord needs me.

So this past week we found some good new investigators and saw many tender mercies. We were finally able to teach a family that we had talked to.  The mom had worked with members before and was really impressed by their "forma de ser" and she wanted to read the Book of Mormon to know and was really willing to listen and follow through with commitments.

On Sunday we had a great day at church.  Some less actives came who we've been working with, an investigator, and also a friend of a member who had just moved to Texas about 8 days ago so we'll start teaching him.  Then yesterday we had 2 really good lessons.  The first was an investigator who Elder Jones and the missionary before me had taught once but we had never taught her; we had stopped by but they were never home.  But we saw them outside a few days ago and she said she had read and wanted us to come over so we set up an appointment and they were there this time.  She had a lot of great questions which we did our best to answer and we had her say the last prayer. As she was praying to Heavenly Father she said "I'm sorry for doubting you, Joseph Smith, please help me to have more faith in you"... It's one thing to pray About Joseph Smith and another to pray To Joseph Smith.  That was definitely a first in my life, and after the prayer we let her know that we only pray to God.

Another awesome lesson we had right after was with Jesus Rodriguez.  We have been working with him the entire transfer but haven't been able to get him to church. However we brought up the idea of a church tour and we convinced him to do one.  So, we called up Hno. Cervantez, a really awesome member, and he came and picked us up and drove us to the church.  As we showed him around the church and explained what happens and why, he felt the spirit really strong and told us how he wanted to come and see it on Sunday.  So a lo mejor el va a venir este domingo que viene.

Anyways, the work is growing in this area and I love being a missionary.  Hope everyone has a great week.  Happy Birthday Dad!

Con gran amor, Elder Cooley
