Hello Everyone!!!
Hope you had a good St. Patrick's Day! Mine was undoubtedly Green!!!
Elder Erickson and I had a great week. In our mission, we have a standard that President Welch would like us to meet so we can increase baptisms by 25% like the General Authorities have asked the missions in the North America, North East Region to do. That standard is 4 new investigators, 2 investigators attending church, and 1 investigator on date for baptism. This week, we had 5 new investigators, 4 investigators at church, and we have 1 investigator on date!!! We are so excited. Elder Erickson and I really have been working hard to connect with Heavenly Father to do this work in the manor that He would have us do it and we have been blessed with success this week. We are ecstatic!!!
I had an interesting epiphany during a lesson with some of our investigators who came to church. We were teaching them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The "aha!" moment that I had was how grace relates to us. The distinction that the Spirit brought to my mind during that lesson was that grace cannot be earned, grace is freely given to us. Grace, though, cannot be forced upon us, we have to accept that gift. The way that we accept that gift is my being humble and submitting ourselves to the will of Heavenly Father. I think it is amazing how Heavenly Father can speak to us so suddenly, but He will speak to us when we need to hear what He has to say.
Thank you for all that you are doing!!! I love you! But more importantly, God loves you!
Elder Hayden Cannon
