Hello!
Okay so everything here is amazing!!! I don't have a single thing to complain about. Well, except the apartment downstairs which gives off the worst smell I've ever smelt in my whole life. But other than that, everything here is incredible!
I love my companion! Her name is Hna. Hamlin from New Mexico. She is half Native American. We're perfect for each other. I can really see how the Lord's been preparing me to be her trainer. Getting her as a companion is kind of like finding a golden investigator. They're amazing and you just love them so much and want to do everything you possibly can to help them learn and grow. It's hard for her with everything being so new, especially the language. But she's doing great and improving each day.
We live with two other sisters! They're serving in the English ward. I LOVE them! They are wonderful. Hna. Moere is training Hna. Hancock. It's so good for Hna. Hamlin and Hna. Hancock to have each other there because they're going through the same thing as new missionaries. And Hna. Moere is so sweet, I love her. She is so obedient. It is so nice to not have to be the only one standing up for obedience. We're able to set the standard together for the other sisters to learn. They're whitewash training too, so it's so nice and really strengthening for us to all have each other.
Our apartment is SO nice. One of the senior couples said it's the nicest apartment in the mission. It is beautiful. We have a fitness room at the apartment complex!! And our car is BRAND new! It had 39 miles on it when we got it. A white 2014 Chevy Cruze.
The branch here is fantastic! They are all working so hard. About a year ago they only had about 40 people coming to church. Last Sunday they hit a record of 111! And they had NINETEEN investigators at church! Can you believe it? They definitely needed another set of missionaries here - there is so much work to do. There's 6 of us now. And I've actually served with all the missionaries in our branch before! It's so fun to see them all again. I've served with all except one, who is Marie Davidson's cousin!! It's so fun serving around him. He is totally a Davidson.
Our area is the BEST. It's huge geographically and so condensed. Tons of people to work with. And there are not one, not two, but three Walmarts! And a Trader Joe's, and Costo, and Target, and just everything we could possibly want! So, we are in heaven. I couldn't imagine a better place to serve.
We've hit the ground running and found 8 new investigators this week! Everyone here is so ripe and ready to harvest. The people here have been working so hard for so long at planting those seeds, and now it's time to pick the fruit!
I love everything. I am so happy to be here. Hooray!
Hna. Cannon
