Hola Familia,
This week was pretty interesting. My
companion has been training Elder Astacio who is going to become the new office
elder or in other words my new companion. So we have been doing pretty basic
stuff. I have had some time to read and relax and catch up on all of the office
work that I have needed to do, but it has been a bit hard because of
conferences and service projects different office elders have had to do
different things in those and when we need something done from one of the other
office elders and they fall behind then we also fall a little behind so we have
been pretty busy.
This week we went up to Puerto Plata
to look for an apartment to move some new missionaries. We took Elder Astacio
to teach him what a house needs and how to do business with the owners. He is a
Dominican that is about my height and is pretty skinny. He is really funny he
is in some of the pictures that we took up there. After we had looked at a
bunch of houses we went to the beach and took a couple of pictures.
We have been contacted trying to get
more investigators all of our investigators have been disappearing so we
contacted a little while ago and some things are actually coming through We
found a family on Sunday that is really cool they were very open and when we
got there they called their kids and had the whole family to listen to what we
had to say. They live at the very end of an alleyway and we were contacting
with a member and it turned out that the member knows them and they were very
receptive and so we are going back this coming Sunday.
We also contacted this lady from
Venezuela that is living here. We have taught her twice since and seems
really interested. She read the whole pamphlet, and each lesson we
had different members there to help her. She told us that she
has her beliefs and that she has felt good in her church and felt
like God has answered her prayers. We taught about the Book of Mormon and
then we invited her to pray. She has met with the missionaries
before, but that was a really long time ago in Venezuela. She said
that she likes how the youth of the church are and wants her daughter to
have that support and live those principles. Her daughter is 8 years old.
This week President and I had a
couple meetings with Orange the phone company to see what they could offer
us and to see if it would be better to switch to Orange instead of
Claro. They gave us a booklet and some offers, that I ended up
having to study and then report back. So that has been pretty interesting.
I had to use some math to solve some of the little details that they
have in the small print and I figured it out and it was very
satisfying to be honest to have a real life application and know how to figure
it out and have an answer that basically determined if we were going
to change phone companies.
The truck still isn't done and
they say that it won't be done until next week but they way
that it has been going it isn't going to be done for awhile.
We also went to Salto de Jimenoa
again with the assisants today so that was pretty fun and we took a bunch
of pictures and had a great time.
Well I hope that you are all having
a great time and that you have a great week!
Con Amor
Elder Cannon
