Transfers

Hi guys. Sounds like y'all (especially Leena) had a big week. Mine was pretty boring so I just lived vicariously through y'all for the last 2 minutes while I read your emails.

I'm getting transfered, all the way to bedford, aka the closest area to mine haha. Same ward and everything. My new companion is Elder Leavitt. He's a real good missionary so we should have fun together. Here is us.

yup, he's a ginger.

Here are some other pictures.

Love, Cole

Dear Family

Hey so I've been thinking about what I want to do when I get home, and I think my plans have changed drastically. We contacted this guy and I realized that I want to become a downtown sewer sanitation specialist. 

Jk, but seriously, I have to figure out what I want to do at some point. I guess what I've been thinking about for the last little while is not to go to school for fall semester. I would either have to leave early or start late, and I have no idea what my major is or anything and I don't want to go to school just to go to school. But, I also really want to study and get started head first.

If I didn't go to school, I'd probably try to work at the huntsman again and just live at home (if I still have a room haha) and buy a car and save money and stuff. I don't have too specific of plans, but that is the general outline. What do you think?

C-man out.

Yo's-

Action Items-

1. What time do y'all want me to call on Christmas? 

2. Everyone is getting married and it's weird. I feel like I don't know half of the people in the Christmas party.

3. I am not getting transferred, I'll stay here in Euless for 7 more weeks (long transfer because of Christmas).

4. My new companion is Elder Hepworth. Yes, that Elder Hepworth, the one I served with before. I am so excited, I love him. 

5. Nothing too new happened this week. Pretty boring I'd say. 

6. Fun fact- "snowman" in Spanish is "oso de nieve" (which means snow bear).

7. It's still about 70-80 degrees here.

That is all I've got for you this week. Love y'all!

Love, 

Cole

Hey guys, what's up? This week was really good. We have been having a lot of fun in the trio, but also we have been working harder, and seeing some fruits. It has been an awesome transfer so far.

So we had a huge bummer this week. There were these three investigators Janet(18), Carlos(14), and Juan(15) that were scheduled to be baptized on Saturday. They were interviewed on Thursday night, and all passed and were ready to go. Then, Saturday morning, a few hours before the baptism, they called and said it was a no-go. They told us their father didn't think they were ready. We went over and talked with the father (it was the first time because he was always working), and he basically said no. We talked with Janet and Juan and Carlos a little more, and Carlos said that he didn't feel ready at this time. That was a huge bummer. They are super cool kids, haha the two guys love me because I dunked after soccer one day. It was a bummer though. 

Conference is this week and I'm pretty excited. It'll be my second conference out here. They should match up with my 6 month marks more or less, so that's a good way of keeping track haha. 

Anywhey, Dad is right, it is tough to communicate with 1 letter per week, but no big. Here are some answers-

I can't order the new scriptures. It says "processor error" or something every time. I can't figure it out haha. I'll try again this week though. 

I can't figure out the bike computer either. Again, more info next week.

Yadira's daughter had her baby this week, so we haven't seen them since Sunday. Hopefully we get to see them soon. 

I talked to SLCC, and basically the only thing they could do was give me a D in the class and give me a diploma, so I took it. I am super bummed about that, but I couldn't do anything else... Either way, be on the lookout for the diploma one of these days. 

Here are some pictures of my comps- Elder Munoz reminds me of a Mexican Easton haha, and Hepworth is just super funny, I can't even describe him. We have a ton of fun, but sometimes it's hard to be the one to say lets get back to work, especially because they've been out here for longer. Anywhey, hope all is well!

Love,
