MEETING WITH ELDER COOK!

How´s it going everyone?

I just wrote a couple letters and it is really difficult to think in English right now haha. Elder Young and I have only been speaking Spanish to each other. We have a new sister missionary in our district and Elder Young translates when he talks in district meetings so she understands and his English is terrible, and I can´t not laugh at him haha. I know my English is bad too but not quite there yet.

Anyways, our baptism didn´t happen yesterday. We went to her house and she was sick (she´s 14 and kind of stubborn) and we offered to give her a blessing and she had basically already made the decision to not come so she will get baptized this coming Sunday.

This past Wednesday we had a special meeting with Elder Cook of the 12 and it was so awesome. He and Elder González of the 70 spoke to us along with some other seventies, and it was wonderful. Elder Cook spoke about working more in line with Bishops and the members, because if people don´t stay in the church after getting baptized, they become worse than they were before. 

Satan would love if everyone would just get baptized then never go to church ever again. We have to help these people stay in, those of us who have been born in the church have no idea how hard it is for them. We are a different culture haha. They have to be grounded in the Gospel in order to endure to the end.

Oh, and I got to sing in a quartet for the meeting which was pretty cool. Pretty incredible meeting though and I´m just excited to be serving a mission. We are finding like crazy here, which is such a blessing. I love you all, stay awesome.

Love,

Elder Wardle
