It's has
been SUCH a great week. I've finally resurfaced and am breathing fresh
air again haha. And learned a TON. I've realized yet again that the only
one I can truly trust is Christ. He is stable. Unchanging. Constant.
Perfect. And the only one whose footprints we can follow without getting
dizzy or confused. I keep learning that no matter how well-meaning
people can be or how hard we try, we just fail haha. We truly do need
Jesus Christ because he is the center of our lives, whether we realize
it or not. He is the center of the universe and all the life in it. I
learned a little bit more about that when I was reading about Astronomy
in the guide. Did you know theres a whole section on astronomy in the
topical guide?? Yeah. It's awesome.
But yeah!
So realizing this again made for a good stream of self progression, and
companionship progression, which was reflected in the progress of our
sector. So weird how that works. Carlos, Paola's father in law, finally
came to church for the first time and I got to sit by him. It was so
much fun helping him through the hymns, explaining the sustainings, etc.
We even got to take the gluten free sacrament together. It was a really
great experience and he seemed happy and nervous all at the same time.
Emilio
also came to church and we had a really great lesson with him last
week. It was the first lesson I've ever given as a missionary in
ENGLISH. It was soooo cool. He lived in the states for a while and
actually requested that we do it in English so that's why we did it. But
it was so refreshing to hear my testimony in my native tongue haha. It
was somehow more personal. I could really just reach inside and express
more acturately what was going on in my heart. And Hna. Andersen did the
same. We made a really special connection with him that night and were
happy to hear of his intentions to join the church. Now we're just
hoping to be able to explain to him that being baptized is much more
than that.
Love you all soooooo so much. Hope
you have the best week ever and that you can remember where the center
of the universe is and keep your eye fixed on Him and that way feel more
balanced.
All my love,
Hna. Cannon II
