Dear Family and Friends,
Everything is going well here. Its been a pretty busy
week. we have been teaching a lot of people. President Baker is
finishing up his mission too. He is going home the end of June and our new
mission president named President Weed is coming in. He will be my mission
president for only 2 weeks.
We have an investigator named Nancy, and when we
showed up to teach her for the third time she told us that she had read the
assignment that we had given her. She had read from 1st chapter of
1st Nephi to chapter 8, and she explained to us exactly what happened and she
understood it all! We are hoping that she and her husband can make it to
church next week.
Gerson is a less active youth who just returned
from El Salvador last Sunday.
He's like the most committed youth that I've ever met. The only reason that he
doesn't come to church is because his father won't let him.
I have working on My Plan, a program that the
church asks returning missionaries to complete during their last six weeks in
the mission field. Normally I would need to spend one hour every week for 6
weeks working on it. However, since
President Baker would like to interview me before he is released as Mission
President, I need to complete the tasks in half the time. The tasks include
setting goals about what I plan to do when I get home. It is very hard to think
about future plans while I am still engaged in the work.
Elder Armstrong. Elder Valentine and I visited Colonial Williamsburg. We visited the Governor's home and took a funny picture at the stocks.
I received my “trunky papers” (return home flight itinerary) on Saturday. I could barely bring myself to look at the details. I gave it to Elder Armstrong to hold for me for now so that I don't have to think about leaving yet.
I hope everyone has a great week! The church is true!
Love, Elder Cannon
