Dearly beloved family,
Joke: Que dijo el vaso a otro vaso? Punchline: Que vaso?!
It was good to talk to most of you on Sunday, with all the noise I felt right at home, and when it was over I had even more animo to get to work. It was fun to hear about Gage's new Spider Man watch and how Diana has started playing guitar again.
Just a more detailed explanation of what happened at mission conference:  Pres. Saylin figured that if the Brethen had allowed the showing of the movie "17 Miracles" in the MTC, then it would be okay for us to watch it so we watched that movie.  It made me more curious of my own family history.  Also, Sister Saylin gave to each missionary "The Miracle Book", a book she made filled with specific miracles that have happened to all the missionaries in the mission during their service. It was the coolest!  I'll send a picture so you can see how it is.  
Time is flying by!  It's unbelievable how fast these 15 months have gone by.  But I have loved every minute of it!  We finally were able to teach that really awesome family from Monterrey, Mexico that we found.  Turns out they've been sealed in the temple and just recently moved here about a month ago.  Also, they have a 9 year old son that hasn't been baptized due to a lot of moving around of the father and the family has wanted him to do it.  Anyways, things are going great; the gospel's true, learn it, live it, love it.
Con gran amor,
Elder Cooley
