Drumroll Please...

Dear Family: 

First of all, these keys on the keyboard are extremely sticky. oh the joys of public cybers. 

Secondly, how great was this conference!?!?! In all reality, the speakers were truly inspired, the spirit was extremely strong. I loved every minute! And listening to the three new apostles was extremely special, and one could truly see that they are men called of God. 

Let`s see, what else is there to tell? ah yes... the TRANSFERS!!!! that`s right ladies and gentleman, brothers and sisters, romans and countrymen, it`s transfer week! What happens with Hermana Cannon you ask? Well, I shall tell you. I`m going to Justo Iraq, San Luis! (I don`t know how to spell it, but that`s how it sounds). My first time leaving the province of Mendoza! I`m way excited, and i hear it`s very pretty there. Ah, but there`s more. I guess you probaly won`t be surprized to hear that I`m training! and washing area! haha I couldn`t believe it when I heard it. So this thursday I`ll head to Mendoza to recieve my new missionary. Only two sisters are coming in. One from Luisiana, and the other from somewhere here in Argentina. Super excited! 

Let`s see, a couple great things that happened this week was the day when we had surprize splits. an hermana in the branch called and said, hey! I`m in centro! can i accompany you? meet me at the chruch! So we go and she had brought another sister with her so we split up and were able to have a few member lessons! So that was fun. 

Also yesterday we had a cool experience. Yesterday in between sessions we had planned to see someone, and they weren`t home, so we knocked doors. I thought we wouldn`t find anyone because it was a in the middle of the afternoon on a sunday, but we entered a house, and found a golden investigator, a 19 year old single mom with a one year old boy who shared with us she had just been praying recently to be able to believe again in god, and pleading for his help. Way neat! Miracles really do happen, even during the siesta. :) 

Also this week we were able to meet with Graciela and her whole family and teach them lesson one. She`s living with her boyfriend again, which is another story, but we`ve been trying to meet with them both and haven`t been able to, but we found them. He has lots of doubts, and isn`t afraid to share his opinion, which is actually a lot easier to teach when investigators are like that, so it went over well. At the end, he offered the closing prayer, and did it perfectly. Graciela started crying. it was very sweet. they didn`t come to the conference, but I know they`ll come to chruch someday. 

We also had a great lesson with jorge and maria yesterday. we had planned to teach the law of chastity, but then they were a little busy and we started late, so we decided to teach something else. before we could start, Jorge asked us a question about homosexuals and what`s the chruch`s opinion on it. Hermana King and I look at eachother and go, well, looks like we`re teaching Law of Chastity. Sometimes God can be pretty straightforward, it`s great. :) The lesson went really well. They`re improving so much! Their prayers have gotten so much better, and their questions are always great, and they`ve been reading every day. So exciting! 

It`s going to be really hard to leave this area. I love everything about it! I`m going to really miss the members, the area, the investigators, everything. I`m so grateful for the opportunity to have had to be here and serve a little in the lives of the Tupungatinos. And so, I go where the Lord wants. Here we come San Luis! 

Love you all! Have a great week! 

Hermana Cannon

p.s. sorry, i didn`t take pictures last week, but I`ll have lots this week of saying goodbye to Tupungato, my new hija, and San luis! Tune in then! :)
