Ceau family!
How is everyone? Thank you for the emails. Sounds like all is well on the home front with the exception of a psycho man in Colorado. How sad.
Things are going okay here. Casian has fallen off the face of the earth. Breaks my heart. We can't get ahold of him. We know he started a new job and because he doesn't have credit on his phone, he can't call us back, and we don't know that he would call us back even if he could. It's so hard. Keep him in your prayers.
I was reading in Alma 37 and in verse 7 it says "by very small means the Lord bringeth about the salvation of many souls. It brought a lot of comfort to me realizing that even though we aren't seeing miracles right now and we feel like the work isn't progressing here in Arad, we are doing everything we can and I know that this scripture is true and through the very small means will come the salvation of many souls. Although comforting, it doesn't make it easier. How is everyone? Thank you for the emails. Sounds like all is well on the home front with the exception of a psycho man in Colorado. How sad.

We are working a lot with less actives. I have come to love them all so much and I know their testimony is still there.. they just need a little encouragement. What President Hinkley said about every convert needing a friend, a responsibility and nurturing of the good word of God is so true and I feel like that has been lacking in a lot of the new members brought into the branch. Of course we'll still work to find investigators, and we ask for referrals from everyone, but we all feel pretty strongly about working with the less actives and building the branch more. There are so many members of the branch here in Arad and only a handful of them are active. I've made it my personal goal to change that.
I'm sorry if this is a little depressing. Not my intent. I am still loving it here, of course! It's just been a tough week. However, it has cooled down a lot temperature wise! I'm actually wearing a cardigan and scarf today! It's quite cold. I love it.
Transfers are next week. Sora Remsberg and I are trying to weasel our way down to Bucaresti so we can get out of Arad and socialize with all the other missionaries for a day. We'll make it work:)
I love you all so much. I hope all continues to go well. Happy 24th of July. Light some cool fireworks for me.
Va pup,
Sora Cook
