Zone conference

Good week

I have a comp. that I had once before and another comp named elder Bezzant, we roll around in a Trio we all get along really well. A cool experience I had this week was that we had a zone conference and we were listening to president Poter speak about the sacrament and how important it was, he went through in vivid detail what he went through and then asked us would you really miss doing the one thing Christ asks from for all of the pain he went through. He said would you really miss the opportunity to thank Christ for that and go to a family event, or to do anything else it really put a new perspective of how important the sacrament really was. As he was speaking i was praying and asking god to change my heart to help me give up my old self, my hard head and to be able to do what he wanted. They then administered the sacrament and i was filled with the most over whelming feeling that i had been forgiven for all the mistakes i had made and i felt gods love for me more than ever before. I doped to my knees in the middle of the meeting and prayed and thanked heavenly father, and asked him again to change me, i have been so happy and we have seen so many miracles. We have a baptism this Friday at 7 with a gentlemen we met the first day I got here, It has been great he is so prepared.
 love ya kasey

Transferred

This week has been awesome, sadly i am getting transferred this week. My comp and I got put in here together new 6 weeks ago, and now we are both getting taken out. I kind of question why this happens so often, its not good for the area and i am just getting to know people. This week we did a ton of service, we had 21 lessons with members alone, we had 5 member presents and a couple of less actives so it was great. In the last 2 weeks we have upped the game again, we have caught and skinned 2 raccoon's, stretched and tanned them as well. You will be getting a few packages soon, I have to much crap so i am going to send some more stuff home this week. Not a lot to talk about I am just kinda upset that I already have to pack again but all in all it has been okay.  I love you!! 

I forgot to ask Elder Cox for his new address but i will get it. 

Trancfer and life back in ohio

Mom,
I'm getting transferred, I'm sad but I know it was time. I'm not sure where I will be but I will let you know tonight through bro Gilbert. I'm kind of really sad I have made a lot of friends here in the last 8 months, it has been an amazing experience. I'm not sure where I will get sent but I know it will be where the lord needs me. I got a few cool story's this week.... I got to pray at that meeting with elder Anderson, my mission president called me the night before and told me he had been praying and that I was the one to say the opening prayer and set the mood for the meeting, but it was good I really had a good time.  well I will let you know what goes on love you mom

Hey mom,
 It's really fun to be in presidents ward, he take us to fancy places for dinner. We went to a Indian place after conference on sat it was really good, I ate goat and lots of interesting stuff. Lessons are slow being as we both got put in here new. So we are slowly figuring things out, we still got 24 lessons though this week so not bad. We have lots of fun during lunches and on Mondays we go hiking, there is a forest called mount Ariy right by our apartment so we have been hiking around and trying to find some sheds. Thus far no luck, ha ha other than that just normal missionary work. Yes I'm going to go work on a jeep on Tuesday with bro Rial I just moved to the next area over so he comes over here a lot for work, so I'm going to just keep on helping him. I can't wait to take him in for his endowment :) it will be awesome. We have also got to have some really spiritual experience's with president, he calls on us to go give blessings with him and stuff its really cool and super spiritual. He has also referred us to a few of his friends, he says we are the missionary's he trust with his friends so hopefully it goes well. There are about 3 people here that are ready to be baptized so that is exciting. 
Well I love you mom  

Two for one

 I'm not sure how brother rial is doing yet this morning, but everyone that was suppose to come to church this week got sick and decide not to come. Sooo we didn't have any investigators come to church unfortunately  but that's okay, hopefully next week right. We hit all of our standards, we actually had a really good week. We found 5 new people to teach, a family, a couple of individuals and we got back in contact with a few others that we haven't been able to. Dad told me he got released but he never told me who was put in, so that's cool it will be good to come home to bishop Grizz. Did he have to shave his beard ?  ha ha Its about 70 over here today wearing shorts ha ha its awesome 

Hello I hope you all are doing well and having a great day. This week has been crazy busy, we are teaching about 12 people so we are running around trying to work with everyones scheduled and it is nuts. I think that is the hardest thing to do, is line up to busy peoples scheduled to meet up. All in all a great week, we also did a lot of service this week which included a engine rebuild and that is defiantly something  i love to do, greesey is my middle name :)  

 We were hoping to have a big turn out at church this week, we committed all 12 of the people we are teaching. They all told us that they would be there, so we were sooo excited to see them come and get to feel the special spirit that comes with the sacrament, but :( unfortunately only 1 came. I guess it's still awesome because we now know who is serious and ready to keep commitments which is awesome, and its better that one came and felt that spirit than no one. Well I hope that things are gong well and hope you have a great week 

love ya , Elder Cox

Elder Cox 3 years ago as handy Andy for Halloween at work

So this week was good but crazy, I think I get put in areas to fix the apartments it seems like every apt that i get put in has a major prob. This week our co2 alarm went off at 2 am so we went and spent the night at the Rials, but I ended up calling the fire dept cuz its a complex and i didn't
want anyone else to die. So they came and checked it out turns out there is no gas to the building, but then 2 days later the water heater went out. I don't know if it was connected at all or anything but i also replaced the a/c in this apt in the summer, the one in my last apt and the heater in my first one. I really feel like that's why i go places cuz after they get fixed I always leave. It has been a good 2 weeks, brother rial will be able to go to the temple in 2 weeks we are excited to see them go, they have been waiting for awhile.
It just started snowing here, first real storm of the winter. ha ha
well i love you sis
