January 9, 2012 A Good Week

Hey Everyone,

    Hope you all had a great week.  This last week was transfers and I'm now in Denham Springs.  It's a really nice area.  There's really no ghetto, which is pretty sweet.  The first couple of days were interesting because both my companion and I weren't able to drive and it's a car area.  So we got to bike the first couple of days and our apartment is about 2 miles out of our area, because we live with the South Denham Springs Elders.  Luckily I called the office elders to see if I was still not able to drive and they told me Iwas good to go.  So now I'm driving again, which is pretty sweet, and being really careful while I drive.  My new companion is Elder Maher.  He is from West Virginia and he's 25 years old.  He's pretty cool and I think we'll get along pretty good.  The work here is a little slow right now, but we should start getting pretty busy hopefully because I can tell there is a lot of potential in this area, especially because there are two wards here in Denham Springs.  Right now we're teaching a less active family, the Lewises.  There twin 9 year old daughters are not baptized, and so we're teaching them and they have a baptismal date for the third Saturday in January.  So we're pretty excited about them and they came to Stake Conference yesterday which was really good.  I can't wait to start working more in the area and finding many people to teach.  I hope you all have a great week and are enjoying the cool weather because it's 80 here! Take Care and I love you all.

Love,

Elder Cooper
