Hello
everyone, I hope that everything is going well with you and with your families.
I have had a great week! It has been crazy a full of everything that you could
think of! AAAAAAaaaaa.....! Life is great! Sister Livingston and I have been
having so much fun! We were told yesterday that we both are a
great example of a real life Disney princess which we both
took as a huge complement. We just really have had a great week
spiritually. Man I love being a missionary!
Wednesday
was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right and you could tell that
my greeny was starting to get a little down buy the end. Then on the way home
we meant a man that wanted to meat with us and learn more. At that
moment she learned that, that's what missionary work is all about,
the one person that is waiting to hear what we have to share.
So funny
story on Thursday our branch president signed up for dinner and something came
up and so he snuck us some money and told us to take ourselves out some where
fun. So we went to this place called The Boiling Crab, it a place where you
order your food and then they cover the table with paper and pore it right
there in front of you like you are in the south and then you eat it all with
your hands. It was so much fun and really funny. When they brought the
food out my companion picked up one of the shrimps with the funniest face and
said, "It's head is still on! What do I do?" I picked a shrimp up and
said, "You rip it off" then ripped off the head and started to pull
the shell off. I will never forget her face it was so funny. After eating
the first two very slowly, she was good to go. It was fun and super
yummy! (Sorry Apryl it was a lot of meat :) Just so you no I have been eating
less and less though.)
The
highlight of the week was last night. That morning we didn't know what to plan
after dinner, so we wrote in a "?" and went about
our Sunday. After dinner we decided to stop by some peoples homes that we
didn't know yet. One name stuck out to us that life far way but we felt like we
needed to go. We couldn't find his address but we found one for someone with
the same last name. We decided to go check it out. When we got there a little
boy answered the door jumped up and down and yelled yah! The missionaries then
run in the other room and out came this huge man behind him. He told us that
the person we were looking for wasn't home and to come back that he would love
you see us. I thought to my self "we should leave a message", but as
I thought that he told us that his wife was putting the kids to sleep, So I
didn't want to bother them. We went back to out car and stared to drive away.
We looked out the window and that huge man was in the street trying to flag us
down. We made a big U-turn and went back. He told us " please will you
share something with my family?" we said “Sure!” parked our car and run
back. When we came inside the wife was sitting just sobbing. He explained that
they had just moved in with their mom and had just been married. They had two
kids and were working on getting sealed, but they were having a hard time and a
really hard day. The Sister then looked up and said, “I was just praying when
you came that God would let me know that it was going to be ok and that I was
going to get better. You knocked only a few minutes after I had ended my
prayer. The moment I heard your voice the spirit entered
into my heart and I know God was there! I was crying too much
to ask you to stay." Wow I'm so glad that we were there! We gave a great
lesson where the spirit was so strong that.... I can't put it into words! I'm
so glad that we were willing to listen. THE BEST THING BY FAR ABOUT BEING A
MISSIONARY, IS BEING A TOOL IN THE LORDS HANDS!!!

Hi everyone
this week was great! Sister Livingstone and I are living it up here. We
worked so hard and we get the best numbers of my mission. : ) We are doing so much so fast some how
our brains just can't remember all of it! Well it might just my brain
but....! So this week has been all about teaching with the spirit!
All our lesson this week were so strong with the spirit that it
almost knocked off my socks. : )
Sorry that
this letter is going to be short again we just had one of our investigators come
bake from India and we just talked with him about his adventure.
He ran into a bull and knock him self out, went to the dentist and they gave
him the wrong shot and made his face swell up, and then he was playing on a
swing over a river and just as his cousin told him that there was crocodiles
in the water the rope broke and he fell in. It was really funny and even better
in an accent. Man I love this work and can't wait for this next week I know
that it is going to be even better. I'm out of time I love you all
see you soon. Sister Cannaday
