so mom HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   yes thats all for you so rad... little story so you met that one sister last week well i know her younger sister cool right shes the one in front ish. So she came up and was like Elder Cooley guess what your parents met my sister and i was like no way what and she shows me the picture of you guys so yea rad haha small world. things are going good. 

this past week has been kind of crazy getting a new mission president and not having a enough missionarys in our mission right now. So instead of a normal companion i had a mini missionary so a ward missionary for my companion. It was so rad no english just malagasy all day for 2 weeks! I wish it was longer, but we got 8 new missionaries this past transfer so it all worked out good. Funny story so my mini and i were walking home and ran in to some old gang members of his and wow this was skectch but they were way nice and said if i ever need help they will protect me so yea rising in the ranks of the gang super rad but man the work is so crazy how it changes peoples lifes for the better its hard to explain but i cant tell you how important the work really is. I can really testify how this work saves lives and helps us all more then we know the mission is a crazy adventure that will never be toped. Also i got a new comp last week named elder schroedter rad dood from Texas he's a bro so I'm loving life right now. Its way good and super nice having a good pal to hang with all the time, it makes the work better. I miss y'all lots keep the pics and smiles coming. Not to much longer only 9 transfers left so times 9 by 6 and you get 54 and thats all the weeks i got left rad right so close only a short time to go soon ill be sleeping in grass and walking on carpet so pumped haha love you

wow yellow stone looks grand haha sounds like a great trip haha so yea the birthday was good i loved the package so yea moms birthday is coming up sorry i will miss it ill write ya a letter and give it to ya in a year sound good k great. This past week i got a new comp for the last little bit cause an elder went home so i got a mini just a ward missionary for the last week it was rad his name was faniry and it was sick because he doesnt really know english so it was just malagasy and i really love to speak in malagasy werid right but its way fun idk why but yea its the best having a native comp teaching is way better and its way fun to have someone just kinda normalish but yea so this past week was great! so transfer news ..............elder johnson is now zoneleader which means i stay in ivandry for a 4th transfer, My whole mission has been in a 5 mile radius. That  kinda sucks but yea o well the work is the same everywhere. The work here is going great. The time I've put into this area is really paying off and by then end of this transfer 15 people should be new members so yea im happy to finish what i started here. I'm just keeping on. So quick malagasy "fomba fiteny mandroso kitay tsy mirehitra ka afak'adidy am-patana teny tiako ity fomba fiteny ity" but yea its "if you do all you can with what is in your control, you wont be blamed for what is out of your control" super rad goes great with the mission but yea hope you all are great love you thanks for all the gifts :)
