how are all of you wonderful people doing today!? well i hope your thanksgiving day was full of turkey and stuffing and rolls
and pie!! (mine was too!!!...weird!! :)))
well as i was thinking this week
on Thanksgiving Day i realized that i have LOTS to be grateful for!!! for you
all as my family, for my health, for the chance to be a missionary, for the
people i have met here, for the church, but most of all, FOR MY SAVIOR JESUS
CHRIST!!!!! without him all of the other blessings i have would not
exist. i am beyond grateful for him and everything he did/does/will do for
me!!!! that is why i LOVE this time of year!!!!! its the time where the entire
world can focus on him! there is a new video out from the church, PLEASE WATCH
IT AND SHARE IT!!!! we are so blessed to have the gospel and we must share
it!!!! :))))
well just a few updates for the
week...
carlos came to church this week!!!
:)))) he has been hot and cold but he really like the classes yesterday and is
progressing really well!! :))) also lorena came too!!!! she had to leave early
to see her family (she only sees them on weekends...) but we werent even sure
if she was gonna come!!! :)))))))) and we also met a really cool guy this week!
his name is franklin. he was studying MALACATAN for 4 months and just got
back!!! and he was working with a member who talked to him a lot about the
church, and then BAM we showed up to his house. he is super cool and really
positive. we told him we would call him sunday in the morning for church, but
when we did he didnt answer. we were kinda bummed but also really happy because
carlos was there. well when we walked into the church one of the elders asked,
"hermana is that guy in the green shirt your investigator!?" i
thought he was talking about carlos (who had a red shirt lol) and i said
"no.." but as i looked at him i shouted..."YES!!
FRANKLIN!!!" i was so happy to see him!! he had gotten to church early and
was sitting there. luckily the members were pilas and immediately starting
talking to him and one even sat by him :))) it was a great surprise!!! :))))
also this week as a zone we went
to a nursing home to visit the elderly. and it was so fun!!! :)))) first...the
nursing homes here are a bit different then at home...but still cool! :P we met
some really cool people from lots of religions and lots of places but it was
great to sing for them and share some juice and cookies!! it really made there
day better. but i had a great experience. we walked in and we were saying hi to
all of them but there was this one lady sitting on a chair in the hallway and
as we said hi to her she just stood up and wrapped him arms around my stomach
and hugged me!!! she has some mental disorder, and couldnt talk, but as we
stood there hugging i knew our spirits were talking...i couldnt tell waht they
were saying but i know they were talking!!! and i just let the tears flow. i
will probably never see that lady again but i know we will be friends in the
next life! and i look forward to getting to know her more personally!! it was a
super cool experience visting the elderly.
i love this work and i love my
savior. he is the reason for everything! and as december comes in i hope we can
focus on him!!! have a great week and keep up all the good work! enjoy the snow
and cold!! :))) I LOVE YOU!!!!!
con amor,
Hermana Canty
