Laboring in the Vineyard!

Hello!
I am in the coolest place ever! I will try to send as many pictures as I can. We are in a city called Solvang, it is a Danish town!!!!! It was colonized by Danes hundreds of years ago. It has windmills and delicious pastries! It is super touristy and tons of people come here on vacation. It is such a fun little place. It's also BEAUTIFUL. We see ostriches and llamas! There are tons of ranches and it seems like every house has

We see all these beautiful places that are all rustic and stuff and then all the sudden we see a palm tree and we're like, we're in California?? This is such a unique place. I love it.
So they had 3 English elders here, and they pulled them out and put in 4 hermanas! So we had to divide the area ourselves. We got here and everyone was white and we were like, uh.. Pres. Castro? Did you mean to do this? But we're starting to find Spanish pockets of people who've never been taught before because there's never been Spanish missionaries. So it looks like we'll mostly be doing English but teach Spanish when we can find them. And I really feel like we're meant to be here. It's helping the work.

Whitewashing is kind of crazy but my companion, Hna. Millet from Taylorsville, is super good at directions and figuring things out. Plus we have the two other hermanas so we're all just figuring it out together. At church yesterday the ward was SO excited about all the sisters. Everyone wanted to meet us and people were shedding tears left and right. I was like whoa, talk about a good reception. Everyone started getting all excited about missionary work and bearing their testimonies on it.

This ward has such an awesome mission plan! They are on top of it. They have all these awesome goals, we just have to help implement them. Things here are way more organized than my last ward. (I love my last area so much too though! They both have strengths and weaknesses).

WE FOUND THE MOST AMAZING INVESTIGATORS THIS WEEK. Slash, they found us. Carl called and was like, I know about the church and am ready to commit. We met with him and his son Woody (10 yrs.) and Carl said he wants to get baptized! He said he's living with his girlfriend, but they want to get married! He wants her to be a part of this too. They all 3 came to church on Sunday and loved it! We had an awesome lesson with them in the home of these awesome members who were like perfect. They did such a good job of befriending them. They are so golden!!! We were like - wow. This area is blessed.

Awesome ward, fantastic bishop and mission leader, great district, super fun and exciting area, amazingly prepared and on-top-of-things companion. Couldn't ask for more! I am happy as a clam.

Love you!
Hna. Cannon
