Cannon, Sydney

Wow oh wow transfers!! So we got transfer calls on tuesday night (or Wednesday morning for us lol cuz me and sis C fell asleep) then transfers happened on friday morning. And I am now in Gales Creek with SISTER HAIR!!!!! Oh my goodness I'm high-key in LOVE with her (and you will be too), we are literally the same person, we even look alike! We just laugh all the time, and she was trained by sis Goold!! And was sister Cozzens' (shout out to my girl) MTC comp. And I got to see sister Goold during transfers!!!! (Love you) Small world, lol. But life is amazing. No sign of depression or anxiety, which is kind of the biggest miracle ever..... We live in a members basement, so I always have wifi (spoiled) and it's like super nice, and the members gave us a TV to watch conference (spoiled rotten) ALSO, we are teaching 12 people??!!!! I've never had a teaching pool larger than like 4 ppl, so we are literally so blessed. But it might shrink pretty bad cuz of the quarantine ☹ but ...

Haha so bassically this elder who confessed his love to me, we'll call him P. I was talking with him while my comp was talking to a member, and his comp, elder O (the 4 of us are like BFFs) was in the bathroom. And P keeps trying to hook my up with people, like all the time. And so he was asking if I would be interested in any elders on the mish, and I was like 'uhh nahh das weird.' And he was like 'elder O will be disappointed to hear that' and I was like 'whoa what hold up' (cuz O pretty much has a girlfriend) And I called out P for gossiping. And he was like 'nah just kidding. But what if I gossip about myself? Can I gossip about myself?' And I wasn't really paying attention, cuz I was partly listening to my comps conversation so I didn't respond. So Then P was like 'myself would be disappointed to hear that' lol and thankfully right at that moment, the member (sis Elzinga) asked me a question, and I was saved. Lol I lowkey might m...

Hi dad  Sorry I never email you. You're important to me and therefore I am prioritizing writing you this letter (during personal study).  Tommy C is pretty cool guy I think. I'm glad you're him haha.  Not much has been happening lately, as you can imagine. Lots of missionaries are going home, including my district leader, whom I was really close with (strictly platonic. I only love Jesus). So that's been really hard; especially since I could have been one of them...  I know I'm where God needs me right now, but that doesn't make it easier. Should it? Idk I just kinda feel like the people of Ammon getting murderized after covenanting with God. "I put my faith and trust in God, shouldn't He be blessing me right now?" I know He is, cuz I know this will all eventually be for my good. It's like I know all this in my heart, but my mind is just like "DOES NOT COMPUTE. PLEASE LOG OUT AND TRY AGAIN". Just been like super depressed lately. It...

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. We're just all chillin in our apartments doing puzzles 'n stuff.  I have a lot of time to draw tho so that's been nice. (Pics below)  We also spend a lot of time trying to find new people through Fac...

Wow life is crazy. We are officially quarantined, only allowed to leave our apartment to go to the church for virtual lessons (cuz our service sucks). We are also allowed to go outside for 15 minutes a day. But yeah life is kinda depressing right now. But, ironically, our days have been like super busy. Like theres not enough time to do anything, and I dont even know what we do all day???? oh well, it makes the days go by faster. Also, I almost got to come home on friday... President basically offered me an honorable early release on a silver platter... basically the Brethren are sending missionaries home who have health problems making them high risk to coronavirus, or those who need long term health care, including mental illnesses. Soooooooo ya like my anxiety. But I said no to going home (cuz Pres gave me a choice). But Heavenly Father told me to stay for my WHOLE mission. Soooo it was hard to say no, but my dad helped me see it as an opportunity to prove me faith. So it ended up b...

First of all, we saw a drug bust. So... that was cool...  Kinda sad tho cuz the kids couldn't have been much older than me. Don't do drugs, y'all.  So, Coronavirus... that's cool too. We, the missionaries, are not quarantined as of yet, but we basically are cuz we cant touch people, stand close to people, or go in their houses. We also cant have any interaction with members whatsoever unless it's over technology. Oh yeah and church is canceled. Gods trying to tell us to do Come Follow Me, lol. We actually got to do it yesterday tho! Which actually was cool.  Guys, if you didn't have a testimony of Prophets before, then you best have one now, literally, pres Nelson said about a year ago to take your vitamins!! Also, when did Come Follow Me come out again? Hmmmmm interesting.... How long have we been told to do food storage? Long. How blessed are we to have a modern prophet and apostles, who receive revelation and can warn us for the coming atrocities leading up t...

K so there are just turkeys literally everywhere. (Hence the subject line... it's a vine, for all you older folks) They're ugly but highly entertaining and fun to chase, lol I'm an adult.  Theres also a ton of bald eagles!! So that's kinda cool. Except for when they feast upon new born lambs and lead chicken genocides...(one of them slaughtered all of a members chickens, cuz it could, and then kindly scattered their corpses throughout the trees.) Haha ANYWAY, this week was pretty chill. We were gonna put 2 lil hunnies on date yesterday but they were sick.  Other than that not much else has happened. Just a bunch of weird random things, like  -5 different people in our ward giving us dating advice at completely different times throughout the week?? They basically all said never settle and get the addresses of all the cute guys, grooossssssss -And a LA gave us ROCKS!! It was like Christmas -I got covered in fur for lovin on a kitty.  We also had interviews with Preside...
