GOOD
AFTERNOON CANTY FAMILY!!!! :))))))
well today is a
beautiful and hot day in the grand city of RETALHULEU!!!!! :))))) yep thats
right la hermana canty had changes!! i still cant believe i am here in reu, but
here i am and im ready to work! i am in an area called San Carlos. its like 15
min from Reu but we have to come here 3-4 a week so i feel like im in Reu!! my
companion is la hermana Romero! she is 19 and is from Nicaragua!! :))) i like
it, even though its SUPER different from malacatan! (not gonna lie it was
harder to say bye those people than it ever has been in the misison! they were
my family for 6 months!!!!!!!) but i am super excited for this area! its super
big and there is lots of ground to cover and lots of almas to save!!! :))) (mom
your prayers for a new challenge were answered in GRAND measure!!!!)
well this week we had
a GREAT opportunity!!! we got to listen to the voice of President Russel M.
Nelson. (he was going to come to Xela tomorrow but because a of a storm that is
coming in and his health he couldnt come to guatemala, so we watched it live
video cast from Honduras!!!!) there are so many things that i learned!!! a few
about marriage ;) and a lot about missionary work!!!! :)))) he gave 14 topics
to study to help our investigators GO TO THE TEMPLE!!!! the thing here in
central america is that there are a TON of male members who dont have the
preisthood! and they are menos activo!! so he encouraged us to help them return
to the church and RECEIVE the preisthood!!!! he talked alot about family
history work (by the way, grandpas work!?) and how we need to help our
investigators go to the temple!!! it was so amazing to hear his voice and feel
of his spirit, even if we werent in the same room!!!!
we also got to listen
to the area president, Elder Duncan and his wife! and some thing that hermana
Duncan said really stuck out to me! she said that our circumstances depend on
us!!! life can be hard, unfair, boring, unsuccessful, and everything else bad!
but it can also be easy, just, exciting, SUCCESSFUL and everything else GOOD!!
it depends on us, and then she said, "CHOOSE JOY!!!!!!!!!" i invite
all of you to do the same! no matter the circumstnaces, CHOOSE JOY!! it makes
all the difference!!
but President Nelson
said something in the conference that helped me a lot! he was ending his talk
and gave us all a blessing. but more he gave our families a blessing. a
blessing of HEALTH and PROTECTION!!! i konw that our family is going through
something very hard right now, and i know that heavenly father has a will for
everything! but i also TRUST in the words of the apostle!!! we will be
protected and we will be able to accept the will of God. i know that heavenly
father is watching over you all and know that i pray for you everyday! keep praying
hard and working hard! I LOVE YOU!!! :))))))) have a great week and know that
we are in the work of the lord!!! :))) THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!! :))))
CON AMOR,
Hermana Canty
