Weekly Letter. Sorry It Ain't Long!

Elder Cahoon

Elders Cahoon and Ross with Bro. Hendrix
Road trip.

Yo yo yo!!!! So I don't have a ton of time.  We've done a lot today because Sister Fenton and my companion Elder Ross are leaving. 😱😳😭 I was only with E. Ross one transfer- this was very surprising as we did not expect this but it's okay my next companion is Elder English! He's pretty cool. I've met him a few times just around but I think it will be a good companionship. Also our two solid investigators, Joe and Sara, are awesome!!!! They were at church this week and even participated in the classes at church.  They really enjoy coming to church.  After church, Sara was asking about tithing because she saw the slips. She told us that she would love to pay tithing.  BOOM!!! She's a golden investigator!!!!  When we first Sara, she would talk about a lot different subjects and ask lots of different questions about many different subjects kinda all at once.  We would pray to know what to do to help her focus on a paricular subject and help her progress.  Now she is having conversations with us that are focused on the discussion at hand and questions she asks are about her own salvation.  Joe is getting baptized this Saturday at 1:00pm.  YEEAA!!!!!!!!!!  The Zone Leader who interviewed him said " he was very prepared and even answered the questions before we finished asking him.  We are proud of Joe!!!!!! Baptism pic this week!!! :) I'm way excited but I'm even more excited because he wants to get the priesthood and go to the temple.   I'm just so glad to be in Butler- many good things are happening. Though at times it is pretty rough, I keep moving forward and doing what I can!  I wish I could write them all the happenings in a letter but there are just too many.   

I'm grateful for your letters.  Mom, you are so strong and are an incredible woman!  Dad, thanks for always being so loving and giving me the thumbs up on life when I'm doing the right things. You guys are great! You know, as I get closer to the end of the mission, I don't think about you guys as often.  Maybe it is because I have been away for so long.  It doesn't really seem that it's been almost 2 years.  It's gonna be weird when I get back. 

I got the info about college.  I want you to know that I feel I do need to work so that I can support myself.  I want to be able to support myself while I am at school.  I want to rely on myself and not others.  I want to begin making grown-up decisions.  I may have to sacrifice some fun to accomplish those goals but that is what I feel I need to do.  

Take care. Love you. Bye!!!!!!!!!
