Week 69

September 26, 2016

This week Abraham celebrated his first re-birthday: he was baptized one year ago. He is a studly missionary who will just call missionaries' contacts to see how they are doing and anyone he knows who didn't come to church.  He is also very humble. He's 29 and refers to a 40-year-old Nigerian member as "Uncle George". He's really just grateful to everyone who played a role in his conversion.

In other news, I made pizza for the first time this week. I was using expired yeast. Learn from the mistakes of others. The thing about us missionaries is that we always think "well, I don't want this food item, but maybe the next elder will". Do that a couple times and I start finding stuff that went bad in 2014. The yeast, in my defense, had been approved by a senior missionary.

Rose got to lift some spiritual conversion weights this week as she got offered a job on Sunday that she really could use. We are still hoping she will be ready by the 8th! Apparently all of her Pakistani friends were super stoked to come to it so we'll see.

I got to go on a scambio with Anziano Ruiz this week. He kind of defies the description of greenies.  Maybe it has something to do with the work he put into become a state champion track athlete but so far he thinks the mission is too... easy? We had a great time and got sidetracked from going home to lunch by the Spirit helping us to find a new investigator!


Love,
Anziano Cannon
