Week 7 in LA--New Companion, Same Area

I have a new companion! His name is Elder Styer, he is from Kentucky. I also am in the same area of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach. The Tri-beach cities. I'm excited to work with these members for another 6 weeks! The Halloween decorations in my area are pretty cool I have a pictures of one that we liked. This week is going to be in the 90's, so all of you back home, try not to be too jellious. Hahaha, but it has been a great week. We have been working supper hard in our area to introduce my new companion to get referrals. Our investigator I asked to be baptized came to church yesterday! I was getting so nervous, she came in right before the sacrament happened and my heart almost broke because she didn't come, but she did and it was awesome. The members welcomed her so well! This week we are going to try and be the best missionaries we can. Today we are going to the Korean Bell in a park so that will be fun. 

Spiritual thought for you.

My thought is found in Luke chapter 10. "25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

 34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."

We all need to be like the Good Samaritan, if there is someone in need, help them. If you find a hurting soul or child of God. Don't walk by! Be like the Good Samaritan and help that soul until they are healed.  I can promise you with all of my heart that as you do so, you will be blessed for being one of the Lord's true Sheppard. I love this work that I can my injured brothers and sisters to be healed and come back unto Christ. 

With Love, 

Elder Cox 

**Side note--he sent a seperate email with what he said were pictures, but there were none. I asked him and he said they weren't sending for some reason. I found his companions mom on the California Los Angeles Facebook Page and I sent her a message. I asked about pictures and she said she got none of them but would email her son and ask for some. He emailed her 2 pictures of them together. My son is a bum!
