My week

Hello i love you! Okay first off this week has been pretty funny!!

So on Monday after we went and got food we went to a place called Bo's
For Zone party!
It's a place that has all kinds of things to do and have fun like
laser tag and bowling.  

So we've been working with this guy named Tyler and we just got him up
for baptism that's exciting!

I had an exchange with Elder Stafford, he's great! We had a lot of fun.

We went over to Sisters Swanson's house and had a great lesson! 

It's been raining for like 3 days.

Anyways I miss all the realists back home stay golden!!

Loving it!

Hello you all! I'm loving the members more and more every day!!! 

So this last Monday we had the chance to go play football over at the cratueas it was great!  We were trying to connect with one of the kids and we did but after we asked him if he wanted to take the lessons and he said no! Kinda sad!

We had a trainee and trainer meeting in Charlotte this last Tuesday learned a lot of new stuff and it was raining so hard there! Anyways great time! Then the next day we talked with the mission president and had district meeting went great I had to talk about words we can use and words we cannot use. I guess I have the best vocabulary or something!! 

We were at the cogdells and they invited a part member family over and told them we were only gonna have dinner!! And then the missionary's thought different and decided we would share a message and the man who isn't a member said he's talked to a lot of missionary's and isn't gonna give up beer or coffee. So we shared our message and we're making jokes and we're busting up. by the end of it he wanted us to come over some time this week and share more! 
We will see where it goes from there!

We had time to go knocking and went to this one door and I was like this door is the magic door I know we're gonna dunk this guy! Anyways knocked on the door and he decide he was gonna rip our testimonies in half and spit on them!! So we listened and about 45 minutes of him yelling at us I decided I would testify of the Book of Mormon! (Thought he was gonna shoot my face off)  then he said bye and shut the door! Anyways great moment of the week!! 
So we didn't want to know anymore and decided we would teach a lesson on FB so as we were doing this a nice kid shows up and says tell me what you believe! So we shared some stuff and he wants to meet!! 

Great things happen when we try! 

So there's thing we have been doing with members it's a great way to get referrals so we ask them to pray that they might think of 25 names to share the gospel with. She was like there's no way I can think of 25 names anyways she prayers and right when she ends the prayer she starts writing down names half of which she hasn't talk to in years, about 3 minutes go by and she's already got 25 names!!! It's pretty cool to watch this happen!! 

Anyways love you all!!

Greetings from North Carolina!


Hi!  My name is Sister Cooper and I am a member of the Lenoir Branch where your missionaries are serving!  Just wanted to send you a little proof that they are working hard out in the field. Sister Rendon and Sister Dahle are such wonderful, sweet missionaries and are always so polite and willing to serve. Elder Nelson and Elder Morrow are full of energy and seem to never have a dull moment in their companionship. You all should be very proud of them as they are wonderful examples of how to live the gospel.  They were all so willing and excited to come help my husband and I paint and we are so thankful they did!  Thank you for your sacrifice to let them leave you so that they could come and be a part of our branch and our lives. 

Sincerely,
Sister Brook Cooper

Mission Life!

So this week has been good!! 
It started out with all of us flying out of SLC at about 6am. When we got to NC it was unreal it's like it was
in the jungle! We stayed at the mission presidents house for the night and then met our new comps! Mine is Elder Morrow from SLC he went into the army for a couple years and has a girlfriend back home.  He's been out for 8 months and is killing it! 
Then I got to my area which is about an hour or so away from Charlotte it's so beautiful out here so many trees it's unreal!  We have been lucky to have all the members be so nice and taking us out to eat almost every day!  We've had a lot of lessons and I'm getting better each day!!   
As some of you may know I have my first baptism on Sunday!! Elder Morrow was planning on doing it but about 2 hours before he talked to her and asked her if I could so he came into class and whispers "hey your doing it."  I was like what!  And when he said the baptism it felt pretty cool but I was really excited!!
Anyways love you all!!
