Hello Family and Friends!
I
hope you all have had a good week! Thank you for all the letters and
emails!! I love them! This week has been great!! Also a little
scattered!! So we had transfers this week and I got transferred to
Lecanto! It's far north and it's part of a new stake that is being
formed! Part of the new Stake was in the Orlando Mission but now it is
in the Tampa Mission so I was called up here to serve. It's called the
Ocala Stake. I got transferred over here on Saturday! I am also serving
as the Zone Leader here. So Elder Dye is my new companion and we will
be serving in the Lecanto area. He is a really good guy and I love him
already. This area is not like Tampa at all!!! There's actual hills
here and there are not as many people! We have a large area that is full
of big trees and dirt roads!! This new area is my kind of area!! I
will miss being able to contact so many people though!

| Goodbye for now Elder Lewis |
So
far I have seen 2 turtles out here and a ton of rabbits!! Elder Dye and
I were welcomed by the ward members here and they are super kind! We
have been able to have great member meals and lessons with some friends!
We have been here 2 days and have 4 member meals. It's been great!
The members here are very missionary oriented so that's great! The area
has 2 friends on baptism date and we are very excited to work with them
and help them reach that baptism.
One
lady's name is Karin! She is a very nice lady! She has a baptism date
for July 6 and she has been doing great! We are going to be seeing her
tomorrow! We also have another lady on date for July 13! Her name is
Felice and she is also great! We taught her yesterday the Plan of
Salvation and helped her understand the big picture of God's plan for us
before this life while on earth and after this life! We also met
another lady who has been reading a ton of the Book of Mormon and has
been coming to church so we hope to set a date with her soon!! I am so
excited to work with the members of this ward and help others come unto
Christ!
In my last area, South
Tampa, we had some great miracles happen as well!! We set 2 baptism
dates with Quamale and Kandie!! They are awesome! And they are very
excited for their baptism on July 20! I don't know how the other people
are doing exactly but they were all doing well when I left!! I am super
excited to hear about David and Heather and Joe!! Also, we had a lesson
with Heather and Joe this week and it went great!! And after the lesson
we asked if we could bring members over for the next lesson (which they
said when we first met them and began teaching them that they didn't
want people over). But when we asked, they were super excited to have
other people come over and told us to bring some!! I'm excited for them
and I am excited to hear about them as well!! My last companion, Elder
Lewis, and my companion before him, Elder Hall are both Zone Leaders as
well. The great thing is that I will get to see both of these good men
and friends at the monthly Missionary Leadership Council (MLC) meeting!
All Zone Leaders will be attending that meeting so I will get to know a
lot of other wonderful missionaries. My Zone Leader companion is
serving in the Spanish speaking part of the mission. He has been a Zone
Leader for a bit so he can help teach me what I need to do since I am
new at this.
Overall,l
it's has been amazing and a great week!! I have seen the Lord's hand
more and more!! I know He lives and I know He loves us!! I love being
able to see the work of the Lord move forward!! Have a great week love
you all!!
Elder Cahoon
