Hola Familia,

Sounds like a great past week for the Cooley family.

Transfers this past week were pretty intense.  My new companion is Elder Claunch, from Payson, UT. He was "born" 2 transfers ago in Mo City for my last transfer there, so starting off we already knew each other mas o menos and had gone on an exchange together.  We have been working hard for this little time that we've been together and we've seen many miracles.  One of them was that we were able to teach Roberto.  He is the man.  We taught him and his kids Saturday and had a great lesson.  We had made a lesson plan, or outline, of how we wanted to teach the Restoration but as we started I felt that we should mix it up a little bit (the beauty of Preach My Gospel) and so we taught it kind of out of order and used examples that we didn't plan on.  The spirit was really strong and towards the end of the lesson he committed to baptism and he came to church on Sunday.  

Other miracles that we've seen have been really awesome OYM's in which we've sought the guidance of the spirit and have better understood their needs.  I know that the Lord is preparing the hearts of the children of men for this gospel and that we can be the answer to someone's prayer.

I hope y'all have a great week and strive to live as disciples of Christ in every thought, word, and act.

con gran amor,

Elder Cooley
