We actually had Stake conference this last sunday as well. It was actually really cool, because my old branch president in the MTC, President Shallenberger, spoke. Apparently Pres. Russell and him are good friends. I got to go up and talk to him afterwards, which was really interesting. Also, as a bit of news I found out about two hours ago, our mission president was announced! His name is Mark S. Brown, and that is literally everything about him that I was able to find. So that change will be happening in the next six months or so.

This week, we've been teaching this really cool older woman named Carmen. She currently attends an Evangelical church, but she has been to church twice with us now, and says that she likes the feeling in our church a lot more than she likes the feeling in hers. And this last sunday, she said that we didn't have to pick her up for church (we do this for all of our investigators, because if we don't, they don't go), because she was going to beat us there. And she did! Compared to some of our investigators that we've had to drag to church, it was a miracle.
And then something cool that's happening this week is that we get to a place called San Juan del Sur (or rather, a beach called Playa Gigante that's about an hour north of it)! President, at the beginning of 2015, set a goal with the mission that if, as a mission, we got 2,060 baptisms, he'd take us all to San Juan del Sur. We ended up baptizing, I believe, 2,158 people, also making us the highest baptizing mission in Central America in the last 30 years. So we're going! It'll be awesome.
Well, that's about it for this week. I love you all!
Love,
Cooper
