Firstly thank you sooo much for the Beautiful pictures of family!
My goodness that meal looks divine.
On the other side of the world I am enjoying the rain and have crazy news. Elder Cooper just had a conversation with the mission office and he and his companion (Elder D STILL!) I will send pictures to dad with the keys 🔑 When I got the news I was like on HERE WE GO!
That is excitement number one!
TRANSFER NEWS
Elder Cooper and D will be... Staying in the Wrekin, Telford Area. So many blessings these last two weeks! We have invited many people to be baptized for May and they said YES! We are incredibly excited but they never came to church last week. We will work towards the next week. Elder C is leaving us to serve in Wales, somewhere called "Wrill" for real!
We are sad to say goodbye to Elder P as he will be leaving to serve in Kendall and will be uniting with his Tongan friends. His companion and trainee graduate Elder D will be serving with a Frenchmen Elder C. It is bittersweet but we are excited for new blood in the area.
Sister L (Filipina) will stay and serve with a Californian Sister C.
Which means Sister ('Merica) W will be leaving us. The whole District is going to miss those that are leaving and I am really sad that our friendships are being separated for a time.
Life is so brilliant today. I have come to realize on my mission there is never bad weather, just bad attitudes. Even in the Canadian winters we can find hope and love in any situation.
This Easter Sunday was one to remember. It was such a sacred meeting and I wrote down some really simple things that I will never forget. I have many thoughts to share about the love and sacrifice of our Savior and Brother. I had the blessing of teaching the Youth Sunday school class and I shared the Gold Fishies! We showed them my Canadian money. It really does smell like maple syrup and it makes me over joyed. I love the truths I was able to testify of and the pre- missionaries got to bear their testimonies...it was special.
I shared the doughnut story about the atonement. It's one of my favourites!
The feast I had after church was supplied by my Nigerian Wrekin Momma Sister B. E.
We are teaching D.H's oldest daughter E.R. and she is reading the children's Book of Mormon. We love them greatly are they are making friends so quickly at church.
A has been dated for Baptism for 6th of May!
We met just days ago but she really wants to change and her heart is so soft. There is many around her distracting her and she wants to be Clean!
We love the Wrekin Area and we are excited to share even more miracles in the coming weeks.
We are teaching a man named Saturday! (Which is funny because in my last area our Ward Mission Leader was Sunday;) ) He is really desiring to know about prophets and questions everything.
E.H. is reading and praying and we shared the Easter videos with her. She loved church and has so many questions!
We have a lot of work to do but the work is right on track!
Love you all!
Elder Cooper
