Ok so about this past week. It was hard. But in a good way. I truly know what it means to have love for your investigators. I really love them. I want them to grow and to progress. We have one investigator named Nicole. She is awesome! We put her on date last week and she really wants to be baptized! She got permission from her parents and all was well until yesterday when we went to go and get her for church. She didnt come! So we have to change her date from this sunday to next sunday. It really broke my heart. Because she has that desire but we just need to get her to change!
The other thing that happened this week is we are working with an investigator named isabel. She knows the church is true. she knows the book of mormon is true. She knows everything. But she will not be baptized because her whole family is in another church. It was so heartbreaking. She knows its true!! She even said we were anglelic messengers sent from god. and when she prayed she asked for forgivness for not being baptized. I love these people so much! I want them to live with heavenly father again!!
So we had a funny and interesting experience this week. There is this lady who absolutly not come to church unless children are banned from it. She hates hearing their testimonies especailly claiming they arent real. We bore our testimonies on the sacrament and how all needed it and so forth but we just had to laugh at how much she couldnt stand kids. They wont stop going to the bathroom and eating and so forth. Haha me and my comp just laughed that one off.
So we had zone conference this week... my very first one and the first thing they do is have some of the missionaries bear testimony and who do they call on first? HERMANA COOK!! I was mortified! But I really enjoyed it. After they have 2 people at random give a talk about chapter 10 of preach my gospel and who did they call on. HERMANA COOK,1!! My zone leaders just really love me. I feel really good about it and it was a great experience.
So I got the package finally and guess what? No camera chord and no essential oils.... no oils at all! SO now my oils are gold and I still cant send pictures.... boooo!!!
This week because our investigadors were struggling hermana alvarez and I had a special fast. During that day I could feel the blessings of fasting. It is such a blessing that we have the opportunity to fast and my testimony of it is as strong as ever.
I also now understand what it means to feast on the scriptures. I have an hour to study every morning and it is never enough!! i always want more and more and more!! I love the book of mormon!!!
So not to scare you all this is just letting you all know... we are expecting a earthquake of 5 6 7or 8 today or tomorrow. Know that we are prepared for it and everything is ok. If I die I go straight to heaven!!
I want you all to know that i know the church is true! it is amazing that we have it in our lives...
I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!!!
Hermana Cook
