Getting down to business



Hey Fam,
Well it has been quite a productive week. An investigator who my companion Elder Grahm contacted has a baptismal date! We had met with him a couple times and he is just a humble prepared individual. We were teaching him about the restoration and i felt prompted to invite him to be baptized and he accepted. He will have a tough time coming to church because of his work but his date for now is the 13th of March. We are way excited. Also, the family who we are teaching came to church again yesterday. It was awesome. We are trying to find families in the branch who can help us teach them.

Last week we had Brother Olsen come and teach them with us. Brother Olsen served a mission here a long time ago and now he lives here with his family. The will be here for about 2 years. He is awesome. Right now he is the Elders quorum president. It is weird to hear his little kids speak English with PERFECT accents. It is crazy.
We had as a district 8 investigators to church! Everybody here is working really hard. I cant believe how fast this city moves. Everybody is always in a hurry. I cant tell you how many buses i have had to run for in the last week.

I am attaching some pictures of what we did for preparation day today. We went to Trakai. Remember when we went last year? Well the lake was frozen over so we had a good time playing in the snow. We had some recent converts come as well as some investigators. Antonas came as well. He is our guy with a baptismal date. He is awesome.



Well that's all I got this week you all keep up your moving/house building/accounting classes/schooling/cheer leading/softball/tax season/keeping kyle happy (thats angela) I love you all so much and your all in my prayers.

Elder Cooke
