Dear Family and
Friends,
We have had really
nice weather during the last month. I didn't mention this last week but on
Christmas day it was 80 degrees. However, now it is starting to get a lot
colder here! We have had to scrape ice off our windshields, and it actually
snowed for about 10 minutes on Monday afternoon while we were outside
playing football on our p-day.
On Thursday, we
had interviews with President Baker. He told me that he was really pleased with
the work I have done as a Zone leader and that he was pleased with the training
that I am doing with Elder Claridge.
It was pretty
exciting this week because a brother of one of the Hispanic members of our ward
came to church yesterday. We are going over to that family's home tonight to
eat dinner. I hope that the brother will
be there so that we can start teaching him.
Tomorrow I hit the
18-month mark. I can't believe that so much time has gone by already. I do know
this work is true. I know that this is the one and only church that has the
authority and priesthood of God. And through that priesthood we are able to
bless our lives, the lives of others around us, and our loved ones that have
passed on. I know that we have a prophet today, someone that we desperately
need to help us in this tumultuous world that we live in. I know that Thomas S.
Monson is that prophet and that if we heed his counsel we will be blessed.
I hope that everyone
has a great week!
Love, Elder Cannon
