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!
