So I've had a great first week in Ventura! I love this new area. It's very different from Simi Valley, so I'm definitely making a lot of adjustments. But I am excited to figure out this area and just serve with everything I have! I feel this transfer is testing everything I've learned in my whole mission. I am excited for the opportunity and challenge.
I love my companion, Hna. Brown! She is from Orem and incredible missionary. We are learning so much from each other.
We had a wedding on Saturday! I am so blessed to be here at this time to teach this amazing couple who've been taking the lessons for 3 years. They are now married and they will be getting baptized in mid-July! So excited for them! They are incredible and have such great member support.
We also had a neat miracle on Saturday. We saw some people moving and they let us help them! It was such a great unplanned service opportunity. They told us all about their Mormon friends and asked about our missions. It was wonderful to express our love in that way. They were so grateful. It was a great opportunity to show our religion by example and not just what we say.
I feel like a good lesson from this week was that the most important thing is to express love to people and have the spirit. They are many other good things that we should seek to develop, but nothing should ever take priority over those two.
I truly love my Heavenly Father. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I love the people I have the privilege to serve. This is the greatest time of my life up to this point. I am just giving all I have and enjoying every moment.
Thank you so much for your support and love!
Hna. Cannon
