Well I hit my 5 month mark tomorrow! It's crazy how fast it is
going! It is going by way to fast and I need it to slow down! But last
week was Thanksgiving and it was good! Kind of a slow week for teaching
because everyone was out of town but we had two really good Thanksgiving
dinners! I ate a lot of gluten free pumpkin pie! But now its December
and we are going to look for a tree today to put in our apartment! I am
excited! Also we have a baptism on December 14 and it should go through
so that will be way cool! I am excited! We had another person that was
set to be baptized on the 13th of December but she just barely moved so
that was a little sad. But she will still probably be baptized by the
other Elders so that is okay! Ha it seems like all of our investigators
who are really progressing and ready to be baptized move out of our
area. But that is okay! Well I dont have too much more to report on. But
all of the friends are doing well! Tanner Hale gets to go skiing on
p-day! I am so jealous! But anyway I hope that everyone is doing well
and I have a couple of pictures to send off! Love you all and have a
great week.

Well another week has gone by! It is crazy to see how fast it
goes by! But this last week was pretty slow. Not much happened. But we
do have a baptism this Friday so that is way exciting! His name is
Roger and he is doing really well! He has his interview tomorrow
night! But this last week it has been pretty cold and it snowed a little
bit!!!!!!!!!!! I miss the snow! But it is Navajo tradition on the first
snowfall of the year to go out and bathe in it so we did that and it
was pretty cold! But if you do it then you are promised to not get cold
the rest of winter. Well you will still get cold but not as cold as you
would! But yeah we did it at like 6:45 on Saturday and it was cold! It
got down to 5 degrees this morning and it is suppose to get down to 2
degrees tonight or tomorrow night.... But this also on Saturday we went
to a stake Christmas party and they had like over 100 nativity scenes on
display and across the street was the Luminaries at the college and
that was really cool. I got some good pictures and I will send them.
Hopefully the computer will work this time! But all is good! Not too
much to report on this week! But hope everyone has a great week!
Love,

Well I have no time today! We went to Mesa Verde today and got back like an hour ago! But I got the packages and also the baptism was great! But it was a good week and we had a lot of fun at Mesa Verde! But also with skype... It will probably be around 10 or 11 in the morning after breakfast with one of our members. So I hope that works out with everyone! But I have a lot of pictures to send next week! But I hope you all have a great week! Oh and I might be a little late with Christmas presents... But love you all! Talk to ya next week.

Well sorry about last week! I didn't have much time to email because we
went to Mesa Verde and we were gone all day so we had like 10 minutes to
email President Batt and also you everyone else! But anyway I feel like
a lot has happened this past two weeks! I don't even remember it all
already because a lot has been going on! But I will try to get some of
it in here! Anyway we had a Baptism! That went great! It was a really
good program and he is doing really well! His name is Roger and he had
his boss baptize him so that is sweet! He is getting married to a
member and one of their goals is to get to the temple and get married!
We told him that that is a really good goal! Ha but he is doing really
well! Also we were able to go to Mesa Verde last week! That was awesome!
They wouldn't let us climb on anything so that was kind of a bummer! But I heard at Choco Mountain that they have ruins there that you can climb
all over! So if I ever get transferred over there I can go climb all
over those ruins! Ha but I got some good pictures! Anyway I will send
those after this email! But also transfers are coming up! On New Years
eve is when transfers are and we find out this Saturday! I will probably
leave Farmington because this will be my 4th transfer here in
Farmington and they usually try to keep you in an area around 6 months!
But I might get transferred out to the Reservation! That would be really
cool! President brought it up in our interviews and so it might happen!
I am excited! But if not this transfer then maybe in a couple of
transfers! Also I hit my 6 month mark next week! It is crazy! I am kind
of mad though because it is going by way to quick! I had a dream I was
home and I was happy to be home but I was kind of sad because I felt
like I didn't serve long enough! But then I found out in my dream that I
was going back for a year and I was so excited! Ha I am still loving it
out here! The work is slow a lot of the time! But it is okay! Also about
Skyping, I will probably be skyping around 10 or 11 in the Morning! I
will probably give Mom or Dad a call right before I do so I can let you
guys know when to get one! I am excited to talk to everyone! Ha it is
going to be weird talking to you guys but I am excited! But yeah this
last week was good! We had a missionary Christmas party and that was way
fun! Also we went to a members home last night for another Christmas
party and I got some candles! I am going to miss this area but I am also
excited at the same time to go to a new area and experience something
new! Anyway I guess that is all for now! I will talk to you guys this
Wednesday Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a Merry Christmas and also I
am sending gifts out today. Hopefully they will be able to get there by
Christmas! If not I am sorry.... But love you all and talk to you real
soon!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and if I forgot any questions to answer, just ask
Wednesday!

Well I have no time today! My time on my computer just cheated me a
couple of minutes so I have no time! But anyway this last week was
great! I hope you all got your presents! But I am being transferred out
on the Reservation! I leave tomorrow and I am serving in Round Rock in
Arizona! It is really close to Chinle! I am in the Chinle zone so on
P-days I might go to Chinle! But anyway sorry I have no time! It was
really good to talk to all of you and I hope everything is going well! I
will send more next week! And also pictures too! Well I love you all
and I have to send this before it shuts down on me!
Love,
Elder Cook
