Hola Familia,
Wow how crazy is it that it is 2015 ha ha. Well I hope that all of
you had a great holiday season and were able to enjoy all the time with the
family. Well this week has been pretty normal. After writing on Monday we went
with our District and made burritos. Or rather Elder Montoya from Arkansas and
I made burritos. I made the tortillas; I am pretty good at making tortillas ha ha.

Then we just watched a movie. Then for our Noche de Hogar (FHE), we went but it fell threw so we went to a Member’s house and
the daughter’s ex-boyfriend came over. He was yelling and throwing rocks it was
nuts. We just sat inside doing nothing and just praying for the Mom and for
help. A neighbor came over and helped diffuse the situation. I am so grateful
for prayer I really know that God hears and answers all of our prayers.
On Tuesday I got to teach another District meeting class and it went
really well. I am so grateful for all the help that I get from God to be able
to help my District be the best that they can be. Then on Wednesday (New Year’s Eve) we went and did service
for Ruben and we just moved the biggest rocks ever ha ha.

Later that day we went
and had a normal day working and came back to the room and went to bed and then
woke up at 11:50 and ate our 12 grapes in a minute, because that is a tradition
here. You eat one and make a wish, and then back to bed we went because we were
very tired. We went and read the Book of Mormon for three hours in Pedregal and
had turkey with our Pensionista. We have had some awesome family home evenings.
The members are opening up and wanting to help us more and more with the work,
which is very nice. We have had so many new investigators and we just keep
finding new people to teach. It is just awesome to see the Lord guiding us
every day. We did service for our Pensionista this Saturday and moved rocks and
dirt for three hours straight and it was so tiring but it was awesome. I cooked
pancakes for the family and the six missionaries, I am leaning how to cook
without recipes ha ha.

This Sunday was Fast Sunday. I love Fast Sundays, where
we really can know what our investigators need and how we can make them better.
Overall this week has been very successful. We are finally having some success;
I think that we should have some baptisms by the end of the month. So it should
be fun to see the growth in all of our people.
Thank you all for all the support and the things that you sent me.
It has been so cool to see how everything is working out back at home. All of
you guys are progressing so much and I am so grateful to have you all as my
family members. The mission is awesome. I love learning every single day and I
am becoming such a better young man that is for sure. I hope that all of you
have New Year resolutions and are able to keep them. Have a great week
everyone.
I love you all,
Elder Cooley
