Working hard, RAIN, and Elder Robins

Hey family!
So good news I didnt get transferred. I am still in Casa blanca with Hermana Alvarez. I am so so so excited for the work we are doing here. We really really wanted to put Isabel on date this week but it didnt happen. Her husband was there and both of them felt the spirit so strong, told us they knew they needed to get baptized, that the church was true, but wanted to get baptized as a whole family all 5 of them. We will keep fasting and praying for them everyweek. We also found a lot of new investigators this week one of them is named Maria C. She is so awesome and loves the BOM but wasnt able to come to church yesterday. Oh my gosh we want a baptism so badley it is unreal! We work day in and day out with lessons and people but no one wants to make the changes necisarry to be baptized. But we are never discouraged! Siempre con animo! 
This week was really hard to contact new people though. It rained every day this week. And when I say rain... I mean rain. Not just for a few hours on and off. When it rains here you dont see the sun for at least a week. The streets literally turned into rivers and it is just pouring rain. We were soaked head to toe every day. Which makes it difficult because very few people want soaking wet hermanas in their houses. Luckily at night time we were able to go into members houses and dry off. But everyone thought we were crazy to be out in the streets. But we need to work day in and day out!
Tomorrow for the first time ever we have a member of the seventy from the US coming to our mission! Elder Lynn G. Robins. I read his talk from general conference, What manner of men and women ye ought to be, And it was so good!! Please please read it! It talks about the need to do and to be. I sent a letter today that includes part of what I learned so I wont spoil anything. But tomorrow we travel to vina early early early in the morning to hear him speak. ALL THE MISSIONARIES IN OUR MISSION! CRAZY RIGHT! 
Well I hope you all have a great week. I love you all and pray for you always!!!
Love the wet 
hermana Cook
