Elder Cannon
This week was a full one to say the least a lot happend. Lots of really touching experiences that were really cool! I got to go on a companion exchange and got to got to the heart of down down santiago. The elder i went with in charge of all social media and all the referrals that people put in. So i ended up not going out in the morning and just on a computer going through them and calling them. Crazy how many people hit the link and fill it out but then say they never did it haha. Like buddy you filled out your whole name email and phone number haha. But after that we got to go out for a little and met with this really old lazy. She was the sweetest person ever. Shes 81 and we got to talking and giving her a lesson and she told us a story that was pretty touching. She said one day she started to feel really hot and her skin started to look black including her face. She went to a doctor and she said it got worse and she said she was never going back. She picked up the bible and started reading every day and she said it went away and she reads every single day now. Crazy while she was telling the story the feeling it gave us was crazy you could just feel her faith just while telling the story. I like people like that calm and sure in what they believe. One day we were walking home and saw a bunch of cop trucks and in the back were a bunch of people and motos. As we are walking by one dude is getting thrown off hits moto and handcuffed. We walked by and herd he gringo come here. So what did we do.... yep we went over there was a cop in the bed with them and about 6 guys. They said they got arrested because they were doing wheelies all over so we got a selfie with them it was pretty chill. Also on Saturday we went by the house of the people that came to church last sunday and were really excited about their goals. We talked to them and thay said that they have been doing better and are working on their goals and they really want to do better. I told them to go get some paper and a pen and write down their goals and why they want it and put it on the door so they see it everyday. "I dare you guys to try this" anyways The guy loved the idea and were exited to do so. The girl was little scared and dident want to. We helped him write everything down the he ran inside got some tape and put it up and we continued the lesson. After i took one of the papers and wrote one it. It said we belive in you and god dose too. Yo creo en tu y dios también! Then i wrote "one step at a time". Then wrote my name. I gave it to her and she read it and started crying. She gave me a hug and we ended our lesson and continued with our night. Sunday we went to chuch and she walked by shook our hands and we had some other people come too it was good. After the first hour she came up to us and said elders i want to be baptized on the 16th. We were shocked so hopefully she continues to make progress. But this weeks been good overall lots of new people found. Its been hotter then crap here its outrageous. The power went out on Saturday night around midnight and i woke up so sweaty. I got up drank a gallon of water and layed in bed for i dont know how long but i couldent sleep it was soooooo hot. But around 4 it came back on and the fans turned back on and cooled off. Ive seen the hand of god in other people a lot this week. We met the mayor and he bought us like 300$ in fruits and gave us a bunch of salami. Then we met a bunch of people in the streets that were the nicest ever include a old lady who says shes our other mama. Mama milagro which is mama miricle. She talked to us for about 45 mins on her porch and she was so sweet. She made it clear if we need anything since our moms aren't here she will be our second mom and help with anything. Definitely passin by to get more crackers and juice hahha. I gave a talk on sunday and lets say it went rough. I think they got the point but i was told after hey you need more practice... thank you i dident relize that hahah. But yea that been my week busy as ever and still alive. Also ate some type of intestine thing... no words for that meal. I listened to a talk about looking at the hand of god in your day to day life and just looking back every day and looking for all the little miracles from that day. You look back and you dont notice it was a thing from god untill you look back on it because of you busy day and you dont relize it. It works ive noticed a lot more things that i wouldent relize unless i looked back on it so i invite you guys to doo that just think back and see what has happend you will find somthin i promise. I hope you all had a good week talk to you guys later.
