This week was a really good week!! On Saturday I baptized my first 2 people but they aren't my baptisms because it was the Sisters that were teaching them. That isnt what matters though. What matters is that we were all able to help 3 people come closer to Christ.

Later that night I ate quail for my first time. It was actually really really good.

On Wednesday we had zone conference in Columbus where we watched Meet the Mormons. It was a way way good movie. It was so cool to get to be able to watch it. Last Monday was really crazy after we emailed. We went to get on base and we found out that the member driving our car had an expired license so when we went to get on the military base he got way chewed out and almost taken to jail but then they just told us to switch drivers so it was alright. Bowling and the infantry museum were super fun and really cool. I will put a few pictures on dropbox of the baptism and all that.

One of the kids we baptized was crazy! Elder Bleyle baptized him first and then i baptized his brother and his mom. as soon as i finished baptizing his brother he tried to jump in the baptismal faunt. Elder Bleyle barely caught him in time so he wasn't able to jump luckily. Oh and the night before when we went to practice the baptism with them he kept petting everyones heads and kept copying us and playing with my ears. He was crazy!!

We had 2 really cool experiences this last week. Our investigator that fed us quail told us some really cool things. Well her daughter did anyway. Apparently our investigator had been struggling with life and was about to give up on life. That day is the day that we showed up and we have been helping her to be happier ever since. It is so cool to see how much happier the Gospel can make people. It just shows that it truly is Christ's church established on the earth. The other cool thing that happened to us is we had an investigator that dropped us really bad. apparently his wife got mad at him for it and somehow we saved the friendship that we have with them. His brother is a street preacher and we are pretty sure he talked to him about us and told him not to talk to us but anyway we somehow saved the friendship and now they always ask us questions that we are able to answeer with the gospel so that was really cool. they take us out to dinner every once in a while and they give us water every time they see us on our bikes. Its really funny when he calls us bro to0.

I finally got revenge on Elder Bleyle. He always gives me a bad time about how my bike always falls apart and he finally got a flat tire this week. He had to walk his bike all the way home and then we had to get a new tube cause we weren't able to patch it. It was a really good and easy way to get people to talk to us though so that was really good. Well I guess I will talk to you guys next week! Love ya and miss ya!

Love Elder Cobler
