Chanxacuil Everyone!
Everything has been going great here! We have been
super busy. We've been teaching lots of people and finding new people to teach
and we are still trying to get our investigators to church.
We had a lesson with Gerson this week. While we
were visiting, several returned sister missionaries from the Richmond mission arrived.
Apparently, they had taught him before he had been baptized. They stayed
for the lesson which felt super awkward. Afterwards, he let us take some
pictures with his dad's Humvee which was sweet.
We went to go teach an investigator who is from Mexico. He lives in the same apartment with his son and
happens to own a Spanish restaurant here in Newport News. He told us to come to
the restaurant where he would serve us personally and give us free food.... So,
it looks like we are going to eat in his restaurant sometime this week.
We have been running into a bunch of chapines,
people from Guatemala. Everytime we talk
with them we have them teach us a word from their dialect. (There are 25
different dialects in Guatemala and none of them sound the same.) I have
learned how to say hello and goodbye in four different Guatemalan dialects. I
like the Kechi dialect the most. We have an investigator that speaks Kechi and
he teaches a word every time we come over. He always get a chuckle out of us
saying hello and goodbye to him in Kechi.
Our Mission President and Sister Baker went home today. I will miss them!
Have a great week everyone.
Love, Elder Cannon
I am saying goodbye to President and Sister Baker. I will miss them!
