Hola Familia,

How is everyone doing this amazing week? I am doing great. I had one of the coolest experiences ever
yesterday. So this was awesome, we were
able to teach an insane amount of lessons and visit a ton of people. I have not been this tired on my mission
before, but it was awesome. After
working so hard Sunday came along ha ha. Sunday is the day when all you work in the
week pays off; it is when people come to church. When we got to Church (Spanish version) and there was nobody at
all. It was a national holiday and there
was nobody at all in Church. It was hard
because all the work that we did throughout the entire week was for
nothing. But then I was thinking a ton
during the day about everything and that night I was sitting down and I read a
letter and at the end it said, “don’t forget to pray.” (Spanish version) So I got on my knees and started pouring my
heart out to God (Spanish version) to see what I need to do. I know that he was there with me comforting me
and giving me the strength that I needed and the knowledge to know that my work
was not in vain. He was there helping me
and guiding me to be better, because he knows our pain and our heartache, he
knows absolutely everything. I would
like to invite everyone to be able to have an experience like this to feel the
love (Spanish version) that he has for us.
Well this week was great. We
were able to help a ton of people to come unto Christ (Spanish version) a little more. Nothing too interesting happened this week but
just an awesome experience. This past
year has been awesome. Sometimes it is
hard to not have too many baptisms (Spanish version) but I know that this is the work of the Lord
and we need to preach repentance (Spanish version) and show how people can strengthen their
faith (Spanish version).
Well family I love you all so much and I wish you all a great week. I want to give a special shout out to JACLYN COOLEY.
I hope that you have a great birthday
sister. Keep up the good work.
Les amo,
Elder Cooley
