Dear family and friends,
This week has been full of Miracles!! I love being a first-hand witness to people changing and having a desire to learn and grow!! I love the people out here!! There are people now that are ready!! We just need to find them and help them the best we can!!
So this week has been super great!! We have had a lot of Miracles!! So yesterday we went to this women's house (her name is Lisa). We had given a Book of Mormon to her along with a short little explanation lesson about it. We had her read The Book of Mormon around 1 or 2 weeks ago and we just got back in contact with her! We asked how the reading was going and she said she had read about 100 pages of it!!!! She said she has been reading it during her breaks at work!! She said that she likes it and has no problem with it! And we taught her about the Priesthood and had a short lesson about Priesthood restoration! So we will be in contact more with her!! We got her number and are going to set up a time to teach her more!
We also met this other lady named "B" whose husband is an inactive member and she never was told what The Book of Mormon was about!! We taught her the about the restoration of the gospel. She is really intrigued by Joseph Smith! Her husband threw his back out yesterday and we offered to give a blessing and she said she would ask!! So hopefully we will see them either today or tomorrow!!
But we have had some super funny moments here!! Elder Cox and I get along really well!! We laugh a lot and have a great time!! So a couple of days ago we had to ride our bikes in our area because we ran out of miles in our car and Elder Cox was trying to bike and text at the same time and crashed on the road barriers on the side and flipped over his bike!! He wasn't hurt too badly but I couldn't stop laughing. I just wish I had it on camera!! We also saw a couple of ducks fight today in the pond that we live next to!! It was pretty fun to watch!!
We had specialized missionary training this week!! It was really fun! It is meant for new missionaries to go out and contact a lot of people and help them work on things and improve their skills! So I went with one of the Assistants to President and we had a wonderful time! We went to the college and talked to a bunch of college students! It was an amazing experience and I got to talk with some football players and gave them a pamphlet and a Book of Mormon! We also got their numbers so the YSA missionaries could teach them!! I also got to have some Jamba Juice so that was a plus!!
I heard the Patriots won!! Man those guys stink!! I heard it was a hard offensive game for the rams but I heard their defense was doing good!! Sorry Dad, I know you hate those Patriots haha! But I'm glad you guys are doing good and I'm happy to hear you guys have a lot of goals and are trying help each other be better!! I love you both a lot!! Elder Cox already wants to meet you guys!! I have told him some stories of you two!! But I haven't yet received a package from you mom! Although I did get Aunt Cami's!! She got me a bunch of food!!! I Love it!! TELL her thank you so much and that I love her!! Sister Hurst, in my ward here, has been great by the way. She and Brother Hurst (Ward Mission Leader) are super fun and kind!! She takes lots of pictures as well so I'm sure you love that Mom!!
I am loving the work!! The Gospel of Jesus Christ simply blesses your life if you truly live it!! I love Jesus Christ and I'm so grateful for His atonement and His love that he has for me!! GOD is all-knowing and is a very loving father!! He wants the best for us!! We just have to be willing to live the way he wants us to and then listen to the promptings the Holy Ghost gives us!! Wickedness never was happiness!! I know that's true!! But love you all and have a great week!!
Love, Elder Cahoon
