It's not so much "whatever that means." It's whoever...

"Dear Elder Cannon: you are hereby called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Colombia Bogota North Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months...You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish language... "

So...in the land of Colombia, "El Día de Acción de Gracias" (Thanksgiving Day) only exists in movies and fairy tales. Sometimes not even that. So, the day after Halloween, they're already putting up Christmas decorations. 

So...Merry Christmas!!! I'll bet I'm the first one to wish you a merry christmas, aren't I?

Go me. 

This week went pretty well. We've decided to follow the counsel in Preach My Gospel and serve the members. So...this week, we painted a house, today we're going to help someone move, and we've done several other various service projects with the members. It's been a really fun week. :) I'll attach pictures. 

We've been working with Yuranny and Ricardo, which are Jorge's sister and brother, and yesterday, they both came to church!!! I was so excited. :) All 3 of them, and their mom were there. :) It made me really happy. Another little miracle that happened this week, is that Johana, one of our investigators, had talked with Elder Ure (Who was here before us and is now assistant to the President) and told him that she wanted to be baptized! So, he's coming down this week, and if everything goes well (cross your fingers...and pray lots and lots), she'll be getting baptized this Saturday! :D How wonderful. 

Anyway, Sorry this is so short. We have to be to the members' house at 3. 

Love y'all! 

Elder Cannon
