Week 6 in LA--First Transfer--Amazing Week

Hey Everybody! This week was absolutely amazing, I got to go on exchanges with Elders Walker, Vola and Jones. While Elder Rawlings was up doing departing temple and interviews. That was super fun. We helped a investigator move in to the ward this week, that was a lot of heavy lifting. They had so much furniture. Yesterday we taught two lessons after church, one was with a progressing investigator, she is awesome. We talked about how baptism is important and it matters about the authority. The other was with another progressing investigator, while in the lesson I felt prompted to look at my calender, I saw the date November 19th and I knew what the Lord wanted me to do. I looked at her in the eyes and asked her if she would be baptized on November 19th and she said YES!!! I was so excited I was smiling from ear to ear. As soon as she left the church building Elder Rawlings and I celebrated a bit and hugged. The even more awesome part was that we took out a newly ordained priest with us, and that was his first missionary experience! He was so surprised that I asked her. I'm not getting transferred out of the area so I'll be able to see her all the way to baptism. This work is so awesome. I love this gospel so much, I grow and learn each and everyday. Today I said goodbye to Elder Rawlings, so I get to hangout with my Zone Leader Elder Taylor and his companion Elder Williams, the other zone leader went home today as well. I'm grateful for all of the lessons I have learned from Elder Rawlings. I get my new companion tomorrow. I've heard great things about him and I'm excited to meet him. Thank you for the support and love. 

Love 
Elder Cox
