Happy mother's day everyone! As always, it was great to see
the family and remember how blessed I am to have such a wonderful mother. Crazy
to think that Ethan will enter the MTC (come to think of it, I don't even know
which MTC), in just a few weeks. Other than that, the week was pretty hard.
The zone is really struggling because as a mission, we are incredibly young. A huge wave of missionaries left the mission a few changes ago and a
huge wave came in so the average missionary in Gmala City Central has much less
than a year. In our zone there's two companionships where both companions have six months or less. It's a challenge, but we're blessed in that they are all
great missionaries and very willing to do the things they should, we just have to
help them learn how to do it. Also, Mother's day did kind of kill our church
attendance. Most of our investigators were with their moms and not at church.
Still though, I'm so grateful for every week and every day I have. I love being
able to help others come unto Christ, I especially love helping families
receive the same blessings that mine enjoys. I love feeling the Spirit guide us
and testify of our words.
Moving on, due to some challenges with DearElder, it would
probably be advisable for all wishing to write me to use email instead, thank
you.
Love, Elder Cannon

missionary work is hard, sometimes, not so much...
Our lunch yesterday. I love crepes. I love pesto.
Sunday, when it started raining and the street flooded. Pablo, our recent convert,
followed the example of the pioneers, as he bravely stripped off his shoes and
offered to give us all a ride across. Afterwards, a random lady walked
up and was trying to cross so he just grabbed her and walked her over. Pilas.
