Awesome Week!!

Hello family and friends!!!!

Wow this week has been just super great!! I love doing missionary work!! I have just great joy when I share the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! And I know it's all true and I just want others to know too!! So I'm just doing great and I love that I represent Jesus Christ and get to feel His presence with me as I am out there serving him!! I had felt the Spirit a lot before my mission but wow, it is just a whole different level now!! So I promise I'm not crazy ok but yesterday I was talking to this one lady and the Spirit was giving me promptings- He and I had like a conversation in my head!!!! It was so cool!! I was asking Him (the Holy Ghost) questions and He was telling me what to say.  It was super cool!! I know the Holy Ghost is there to help all of us!! I'm so happy to be a tool in the Lord's work!! I know that God has so much love for all his children. I can't even describe how much love he has!!! 

Well, Mom and Dad that's awesome you guys have plans to spend time with each other and go on vacation!! How is Dad doing with the shutdown? What is it even about? And that's good you guys are getting ready for that rand Canyon hike- that will be super fun!!! I love that stuff. How come you guys do fun stuff after I leave!!? Just kidding!! We did lots of fun things!  I can't say I wish we had done more of that (we did plenty)! But I'm happy you guys are doing good!! And ya I'm sorry about those airsoft holes in my walls! Haha But man, I'm gone for barely a month and you guys just totally change my room!! 

Gregory is doing awesome!!!! He actually likes to be called Gregory.  I love that man so so much!!! He was my very first, real lesson and he is just really, really wants to be baptized and go to the temple and change his life so much!! It's so amazing to see that! We actually did a church tour with him a few days ago and he felt the Spirit so much!! We explained the importance of the sacrament and what baptism means! We showed him a couple of pictures in the church and he was saying that he felt a little weird but super good and happy when we were going through the church!!  We explained that he was feeling the Spirit! He loved it and he came to church yesterday!! He understands everything and is so excited to learn more!! 

We are also teaching this other family!! Kat and John! They are awesome!! We hope they continue to have lessons with us.  They are very curious about knowing what we believe in and how to come closer to Christ!! 

This week has been a little different as we have had quite a few exchanges but it's been super cool to be with different elders and to see different areas!! I still haven't seen an alligator but I really am looking forward to it!! And hey, my address is 529 S Parsons Ave Brandon, Florida Apartment #410 so send me whatever you need!! And hey, could you send me a long sleeve shirt that's the same as those nice shirts that I have?!! I need a long-sleeve shirt for my suits- President's request (for all missionaries)! 

I love it out here! It's amazing!! I love teaching and contacting new people!! Christ really does live and this is His church.  He really talks to living prophets today!!! I know we are all children of God and I am so happy I get to teach people that don't know that yet!! Love you all!!!! Thank you so much for all you guys do!! 

Love, Elder Cahoon
