Moved to Coolidge 2.2.15

I am in a little town named Coolidge. Probably the size of Orangeville, Castle Dale, and Huntington combined. The people are way more humble here! The first day I was here we got a new investigator that was very interested. It is like not even a ward. Like maybe.....80 at church. Ha! I am a companion with Elder Johnson. There are a lot of Spanish and blacks here. It is way cool!! Humble and willing to listen just noncommittal.

The area is pretty spread out so we have car. That is super nice. And the people here are a lot more humble. It is super nice! The Lord really has blessed me!

Coolidge is 15 miles-ish from Casa Grande. There is a little more Spanish, but we live with a Spanish elder, so if we find anyone that only speaks Spanish we give them to him.

You could say that yesterday was a little unproductive. The Super Bowl was playing in every trailer so no one wanted to talk. But we did stop a at few people’s houses and got to see the score a few times. (The Lord knows me).

The main part of Coolidge is....well.....not the most well kept.. And the outskirts of it are...well… trash. Ha! There are a lot of trailers, and drugs run rampant. So basically perfect for missionary work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And ONLY for missionary work.

But I am white washing into the area right now, so that was a little rough! But it is not that bad. I am so glad we have ipads! So that we can have maps and stuff like that… and we could talk to the missionaries that just left the area. When we have question or whatever. It is so nice!

Sorry for the short email, but I gtg. The last thing I have to say it that this church is so true. We have a Savior that loves us and has given us a prophet now days to guide us. And God promises that the prophet will not lead us away. This church is true and follows the Bible more than any other church possibly could… because we are lead by Jesus Christ. He leads us and he will come off conqueror in the last day. Stay close with him. Read His word and follow him. I know that only by Christ, man can be saved. There is no other name under the heavens that man can be saved. This is Christ’s church!!!!!!! I am so blessed to be a representative of our Lord Jesus Christ and bring hope to those who are at rock bottom and don’t know where to turn!

Love this church!
