So... There is a lot to catch up on. Hermana Olson is doing great. Improving
mountains worth in the few weeks we have had together and we are getting along
like two peas in a pod (: It has been so fun and peaceful working side by side
with someone who wants to improve and work hard. We have seen miracles from obedience and seen
the atonement change the people we are teaching. Hermana Olson has not been able to train yet
and she heads home shortly after I do but President called and asked what we
thought about her extending and we actually had talked and think it would be a
great idea for her♥ The experience of training is like nothing
else and President and I feel it really is a necessary for her to have the
opportunity to train a new little missionary like we once were (: anyways....
President ended up calling and asking her to extend and she said ´´absolutely´´
in the cutest voice ever♥
We have seen
miracles. This week has been going well
with investigators and with the members. Jorge is getting baptized and he could
not be anymore excited. We have seen
such a big growth in him and he has noticed a difference in himself as well. He
is 64 and we were able to watch his fears about baptism diminish after a visit to the temple. He said he felt the power of the dedicated
area and he just is so eager to learn and progress. It has been such a blessing to see the
atonement change people and make them want to do and be better people. We have
been so blessed. So this Book of Mormon
reading challenge that we are doing (Read the Book of Mormon in 3 months) is
definitely called a challenge for a reason. We have struggled to keep up with
the three chapters a day but have been able to use a lot what we have read and
shared in personal studies through out the day. (: It has been really hard but really worth
it. We have felt the power and blessings
that come from the Book of Mormon. ♥ We even had a less active start reading with
us and she got up and bore her testimony this week about the power it has had
on her in the past week of reading it.
It is the Book with the most power here on the earth and the book most
taken advantage of... if that makes sense... There is so much power in the Book
of Mormon, but we fail so often to pick it up, read it and meditate the simple
stories inside. One of Satan's tools is
complicacion and complexity. It is NOT
hard to read the Book of Mormon Daily and we DO have time. We just have to put it higher on our priority
list. I love my mission. I will be ready to come home in 6 weeks but
if Pres Cook asks me to extend I cant say that I would say no(; But he wont ask because there aren't any new
hermana Missionaries coming in... But just saying. I love
my mission. La obra del Señor esta
apresurando (The work of The Lord is hastening ) (: I love you familicita. See you soon for skype! Which reminds me we need to pick a time
to do it. I was thinking like 4 or 5 CHILE TIME? Let me
know what you think. (: love you
Besitos! Chaoooo♥ Hermana Cook
