The Last Letter

A mighty change in heart... Surprise!!! Im home now!! I told everyone I was coming home in March so I could surprise mana Cannon, it was awesome!


What a whirlwind of emotions... I love my mission. It's hard to say goodbye... 


I used to be so nervous to come home, worried that everything I've learned and experienced and gained wouldn't come with me. Worried I would fall back into old habits and old sadness. I was talking to God about it one night, begging Him not to leave me when I got home, and I remember He very clearly said, "You know Me better than that". 


I know God. 


He knows me. 


That is the biggest lesson my mission has taught me. I know who God is. And I know He will not leave me -- "but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 


I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:17,18)


I have no fear. 


I have been changed for the better in every way because of God and from serving a mission. It was the hardest and best thing I have EVER done. The best thing because it was the hardest thing. It hurt good. 
I am not the same person I was before I left. I feel like the Nephites when "they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually." 


Remember,
GOD IS GOOD


Sister Cannon, signing off (if you want to contact me I have the same # as before I left)

Haha yeah I'm getting a little stir-crazy...  And its raining........ Things have been good tho. We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man.

ONE YEAR???????

Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
