Hey Family and Friends!!!
We still haven't heard much from Larry. He did
respond back to a ward member's text and he is planning to be at church this Sunday
because he should have saved up enough money to get a car. Hopefully we
reestablish some contact with him.
We were able to teach Ruben and Jorge again. They
live in the same trailer park and it just so happens that Ruben and Jorge are
good friends. We taught them a lesson about the Book of Mormon.
We have been working with one of the members in our
ward and his friend Fernando. We got an opportunity to get to know Fernando
better as we raked his front yard with him. We hope to be able to continue
teaching Fernando because he is a good guy!
Last week, we met Gary at a gas station. We were able to meet up with Gary this week
for dinner and a lesson. He took us to an Indian restaurant where we taught him
about the Restoration.
On Sunday, we had 14 Spanish members attend church,
the most that have ever showed up since I have been in Greenville. We have been
working with the Canseco family who have come to church for the past three
weeks. Hermano Espino has attended for the last two weeks and he got the Aaronic
priesthood on Sunday!! We haven't had any investigators attend church lately
but we have had success in bringing less active members back to activity. We have seen many miracles!
I was reading in 1 Nephi 6:4 a few days ago where Nephi
states his purpose in writing on the plates. He says, "For the fullness of mine
intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved." I love the Book of Mormon
so much and I know that it blesses our lives.
Reading the Book of Mormon will help to guide us on the path back to our
Heavenly Father.
I hope everyone has a great week!
Love, Elder Cannon
