Dear Family,

Well this is it! Can you believe it?? I'm heading to Paris TODAY!!! I can't believe it. I'm so so so so excited and ready to go.

This past week has been so much fun, and I've realized how much I've loved the MTC. Seriously it has been incredible. I've loved every minute of it.

I want to tell you a bit about my last Sunday. It was incredible. Janice Kapp Perry came to Relief Society. And boy, let me tell you, I don't know if I've ever felt the Spirit so strong.

She directed us and all 1,258 sisters sang a medley of all her primary songs that we've known since we were born. IT WAS POWERFUL.

We all realized that the songs have become a part of who we are.  It was incredible.

Then, she told us that she had written lyrics dedicated to our generation of sister missionaries.  She wrote "As Sisters of Zion" and we sang the normal song when we walked in.

Then at the end, she pulled up these new lyrics that she wrote specifically for us to the music of As Sisters of Zion. She changed the title to The Sisters of Zion. We all stood and sang it. And there was not a dry eye in the building.

I am surprised you could even hear voices singing. I have never felt such power. I was trying to write down as many lyrics as I could.

Things like "The angels of heaven are walking beside us" "We go forth, enlisted with Helaman's army" Things like that. There was an orchestral accompaniment and I have never been more moved.

I think she's going to release it soon. We were the very first group of people to sing it. Crazy huh? It was monumental moment in my life.

Also President Littlefield came that night. He's the President that I worked closely with with LDSSA. IT was so special and neat to see him my last night.

Well I have to go get packed and finish getting everything squared away. But I love you all so much.

I have loved the MTC with all of my heart! It was one of the happiest places on earth and testify that it is inspired.

Loge I cannot wait for you to get here. there are many elders and teachers waiting for you:)

So we're taking the front runner and leaving here at 11:30. So I'm not exactly sure when I'll get to the airport.

But as soon as I can I will call so I can talk for as long as I want. I have like 500 minutes. I'm assuming I call like Mom's cell phone maybe?

Maybe I'll do that then you can tell me if I should call a different phone.

SO EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU!!!!!!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Soeur Cameron
