Howdy!

So this past week has been great. I was able to go on an exchange with one of the assistants and learned a lot from him, and then went on an exchange with one of the district leaders in the zone. We've had some good lessons this past week and we also had an investigator devotional yesterday which was well attended. This Wednesday we'll have the departing temple trip and then I don't think I'll have time to email next week.

This past Saturday we had a good lesson with a part-member couple. She, April, was baptized about 20 years ago, and her husband, Luther, has ties to the Catholic Church but never goes. He lived in Idaho as a kid and even attended seminary for a whole year in high school.  He was really close to baptism but he decided not to do it in order to not damage his relationship with his family. He is a super nice guy and we were able to talk about the Restoration and invite them to read the Book of Mormon together. The church is so true.

Anywho, I love y'all, have a great week!

Con gran amor,

Howdy,

It sounds like things are going well with y'all.  Things are going great here too.  We had a good week.  

We had Zone Leader Council on Tuesday and were able to talk about how the mission is doing.  Then on Friday we had Zone Meeting; we focused a lot on faith and learned from Nephi's and the Brother of Jared's faith in terms of making things happen.  It is the first principle of the gospel and also of spiritual power.  We had some really good lessons with some less-actives and have begun teaching some of their families.  Also, we went on exchanges with the Spanish missionaries in the stake.  It was fun to speak Spanish again and even more fun to help them as missionaries.  Yesterday we had Zone Activity in which we played a game called Scatter Ball (it's a form of dodgeball).  Anyways, things are going great.  This work is true.

Love, Elder Cooley
