| Cow Heart |
This week has been really busy but that is always very
nice because it keeps my mind off of things that I miss. Monday we ate lunch at
other missionaries’ house and had cow heart ha ha. It was quite good.
Tuesday
we had a multi zone conference in a town two hours away. It was awful because
they don’t make vans in Peru for anyone over 6 feet tall ha ha. The longest two
hours of my life. Then the van over heated and we were stuck in the middle of
nowhere for 30 minutes ha ha.

Wednesday we were waiting for an investigator to
arrive at the church and we were just sitting there and I prayed for help and
for guidance just because it was a hard day and my heart just started pounding,
it was unreal. I know that God hears and answers every prayer if you have
enough faith. It was such an awesome experience.
On Thursday we had a lesson with an investigator and
her family. After teaching them we were all just talking. She was telling us
how before we contacted them she was praying for guidance in her life and
someone to help her. Then later that same day we came and knocked on her door.
The spirit is crazy on how it guides us to find the people ready to hear the
gospel.
Friday we had two birthday parties for a new Elder in our zone and for
our Pesionista, they were crazy and so much different then the parties in the
states. It was really fun.
Then on Saturday I locked the keys in the room again
and so we had to build another contraption and got them out, I learned from
these events and hid a key so that we could get in ha ha.

| Companion |
Overall this week has been really good. My companion
and me are getting along well and working really hard. There are things that
just bug me about him. But he is from Panama and I’m from the states. One thing
annoying is that he reads out loud ha ha. I have learned to just tune
everything out ha ha.
Oh I kept on forgetting to tell the different culture
things. Breast-feeding is ever more present here ha ha. We will be teaching a
lesson and BAM they just start to breast-feed. I have learned to really look
people in the eyes when talking to them ha ha.
Well that it all this week. I love every single one of
you guys. Thank you so much for all the support.
I love you all,
Elder Cooley
