We had about 9 people come to church last Sunday

So the pictures are of me and Elder Woodcox in the new apartment, well new for me; the other is of me and another missionary in my last area, his name is Elder Hinton; as you can tell I cut my hair way short, I don´t want to cut it for another 2 months, I think I can make it that long; then another of me taking pictures of my beautiful self.

Let me think what happened this week. I got to know the branch, that was fun. This branch is full of gossip about other families. It´s bad and funny at the same time, because they all do it and they always start saying that it´s bad to gossip.

It was a rougher week with teaching. We are having some trouble finding some new people to teach. People are a lot more closed here. That sometimes happens in smaller areas. It´s all about tradition here and people really go after  you if you want to break tradition. So we are trying to attempt some new finding strategies. We are trying to get our branch more excited for one. I think it will take some time, because there are a lot of less actives as well, and we just about no Priesthood, so that is harder. We had about 9 people come to church last Sunday, way different from my expectations. But me and Elder Woodcox are ready to go at it.

Things may be a little rough, but that´s part of this work.The best part of it is that we both have experience and are hard workers. So we can really tear it up.

So we had a lot of appointments fall through, not the first time. But we did have a powerful lesson last night. We went to go see someone who is close to being baptized, he only need to get married. So we were there with Jorge and Miriam. Lets just say we had some couple therapy, focused on making things work or separating. The only cool part was that the Spirit guided me with exactly what I needed to say. I told them to focus on their three daughters and what will be best for them. There was a lot of anger between Jorge and Miriam. We will see them tomorrow. I have decided that I will not be a therapist. Sometimes, as a missionary I feel like a lot like one.

What else, that´s about it. Nothing really has happened this week. It was a really slow week. We pray that something good will happen this week.

Tell everyone hi for me and that I love them.

Thanks Mom, for everything. Also easier said than done, try not to worry too much about me. I have everything under control. There are few things that I can´t handle now.

Love you Mom,

Love your favorite Mexican missionary,

Elder Cameron Coon
