HEY EVERYONE, sorry for the
late start today! Today was transfer day. I'll get into the details later!
I want to testify to all who
read that God truly does exist and he has taught us clearly through the
scriptures about the ways we can call upon his almighty help to bless our own
lives and the lives of others.
This week we had an incredible experience with
one of our investigators. X had been keeping all the commitments we left
with him, reading the Book of Mormon, praying, and going to church
and still had not received that witness that these things are true. Elder L and
I prayed for him frequently, and on Friday we fasted so that he could receive
and recognize his answer. On Sunday he came to church and we taught him
after. Get this. On that very Friday he dreamed he was in a white room,
looking into a mirror. He saw a bunch of chairs and a painting on his side and
a voice that told him to listen to his heart and to do what is right. We hadn't
taught him yet about temples, but we taught him Sunday and he was stunned.
That's not all folks... Saturday he had another dream that he was being baptized
by E. . We had a incredible and spiritual lesson and we marked his baptism
for this Saturday.

So, transfers was kinda crazy,
we didn't get the call until 10:00 last night. and turns out E. L was
transferred. Yeah.... we called X and he and his neighbors, whom we are
teaching also (Y and the gang), they came and visited us and X called off the
baptism. I kept my faith up and I talked with President this morning to get
permission for E. L to come on Saturday to baptize him and he permitted it. Tonight were going to teach X to get things all planned out.
I'm kicking it
here in Alcantara. E. L is starting his fourth transfer in the mission and
going to his 4th area! I love that guy so much and it's been awesome to
have a comp like him! He's now with Elder Evans from the MTC in Cabo Frio. I'm
now with one more Brazilian, Elder R from Rondônia. I knew him a bit from
the Madureira Zone. In other news, Sister Tingey from the MTC goes home this
week and becomes the first of us to finish. It was hard watching her give her
final testimony, I cant believe how fast the time has flown by!!!!!!!

P.S Got word today that J and T are all set to
head to the temple in January!!!!! [J and T are a couple that were baptized back in January and Cooper has been able to stay in touch with them although he is in a different area. Once a person has been a member for a year, they can have their civil weddings sealed for time and eternity in the temple. This is why Cooper is so happy for them.]
