Well this week was a lot of nothingness--really, at least that's what our numbers show! But like I said before, I'm going to look for the positives! On Tuesday we met Mama Jan. She is a baptist lady. She wasn't interested in the gospel but I walked away in tears. There are angels all around us and she is one of them! We talked to her for about an hour and a half about her family and about life and stuff. She gave my companion a hug when we left (he was freaking out and I was jealous!). Her boy is our age and has a 3 month old baby. He is living with his girlfriend and her mom in Florida. She saw her son in us and was in tears. She just misses her boy. She told us if we need anything to come to her and she'll be our mom. Talk about awesome! I felt like my companion missed it and I was fighting tears. As we were just about to go, she said she didn't know what to say to us. I smiled and said, "We love you too." That was a tender mercy if I've ever had one. I can honestly drive you to every person's house out here that has made me feel loved like that. I will never be able to forget how they made me feel.
We also got to meet a gospel singer for a church. Chuck was really cool. We got one of his CDs. It was disappointing. It wasn't like Christian rock, but it's growing on me. There were a couple other people that we got to spend some time with. My feeling is that even if they won't talk about Jesus and church with us, if they just talk with us long enough they will be able to feel the spirit that is with us. That is my latest philosophy anyway. Oh and I was listening to a talk by Elder Cook about having a hard time and it hit me! We have to pray always if we want to have a good relationship with Father in Heaven. Otherwise, we only cry to him when we need help and no father wants that to be the only relationship they have with their child.
Our teaching pool is like almost at zero but i'm not to bugged by it. Transfer calls are this Saturday. I am in between. I would love to go, but I'm okay with staying. I would love a new companion but I could do another transfer if that's what needs to happen. This district is okay. My last district was so awesome--the best district I will probably ever be in, I'm sure! There are two sets of sisters and then just me and my companion for the elders. One companionship of sisters is sweet! One of the sisters is going home this transfer. She is the one that has been in my district for 6 months and my right arm. I'm sad to see her go but i'll get over it, I guess. Her companion is super cool. The other companionship of sisters has another sister from my last district. She is really new still and her companion is a rule person. It's kind of hard for me. She is doing good but I feel bad for her. I don't want her companion to take that fun from her, if you know what I mean. We need normal sisters!
I'll tell you what happens with transfers next week!
Love,
Cooper
