Well hello family,
It
was great hearing from all of you! Thanks for your emails and support.
Thank you for letting me know about Ryan Jones and his family. They are
definitely in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot believe what people are
going through. It blows my mind, and makes me so grateful for the Savior
and His Atonement.
We had a really great week and I'm so grateful to be here. I
am the happiest I've ever been and we love the ward here. It feels like I
am a member and just one of the peeps. I love it. This week our agenda
is full of rendez-vous with the members and our amis being taught by our
members. It is such a miracle and such an answer to our prayers! We
have been working so hard to develop this relationship and we finally
have it! This week we had a miracle with one of our old amis Magalie. We
haven't seen her in awhile and we felt like we needed to contact her
again. So we did! And she was home and was so happy to see us. She is a
young 33 year old mother with a daughter. She lost her baby recently and
her father and her heart was a little wounded. This time, she had more
light and was feeling more hope. We had an incredible rendez-vous and
she told us that she watns us to come back! So we knelt and prayed to
know who we could invite to teach with us and a woman came to our minds.
She has never worked with the missionaries,she lives over an hour away
from the church, she doesn't have a car, and her husband works. My
natural man was hesitant in calling her, but I had president's voice
come to my mind telling me that we need to invite the members to
sacrifice. so i called her and left a message! Yesterday at church she
came up to us and asked us more and we explained how we had prayed and
felt like we needed her in our lesson. She told us that she would love
to come! on top of that she asked another member to pick her up to come
teach with us! More than 2 hours of route, but she's still doing it with
a cheerful attitude. MIRACLE! How incredible. We are really excited.
This week we had a fun little moment too. We stopped by this
cute little lady we found porting around Christmas. She told us if she
didn't answer the door to try the side. So, she didn't answer and we
walked around on the side. She has this huge field on the side of her
house with a bunch of weeds. We started walking and pretty soon, our
ankles felt like they had caught on fire! It was awful! I looked at
Soeur Richards and was like, uh do you feel that? And she was like uh
YEAH! All of a sudden, I started getting hives, and my veins started
buldging with red growing up my legs...hah yeah have no idea what it
was! But it hurt like heck! and we didn't know what to do. So we ran
like crazy women out of the field and immediately said a prayer outloud.
At the end of the prayer I heard the word MUD. So we grabbed handfuls
and handfuls of mud and slathered them all over our legs. haha we looked
so ridiculous! But the pain soothed, and pretty soon the hives left. It
was the weirdest thing ever! But a funny moment. See mom, God takes
care of us! Remember all those times you told us to put mud on stings
when we were little? Well it was for that moment. haha have no idea what
it was.
Yesterday, I got to speak in sacrament on repentance! I talked
about the power of light and how the Savior gives us that opporunity to
have His light each time we repent. I told the Story of Corrie Ten Boom
and how she was able to use the Savior's forgiveness to forgive the
Nazi guard. (that one was for your mom) It was cool because yesterday we
were with the Rousseaux's again for an FHE with the little girl's
family that we are preparing for baptism. We were talking about the Plan
of Salvation and Frere Rousseaux was talking about the 3 degrees of
glory. He talked about it's all about how bright we want to shine. Do we
want to shine as bright as a start with a little light, or a little
more with the moon's light, or do we want to shine with the sun's light
and light everything around us? It was such a sweet moment and it made
so much sense to me too! How bright are we going to shine? We choose it!
I am so grateful for the Rousseaux family, this week Charlie
the 4 year old asked his mom if he could get the "seminaires" flowers
when we were going to come to his house. So they bought fake flowers so
we could keep them with us always. We died.
This Sunday
we walked away with a whole array of gifts from the members. We felt
loved and a part of the ward. Drawings from all the little kids, books
from the members, flowers from boys! And a planner full of rendez-vous.
What more could you want? I am in heaven here and love it so much!
Well I'm headed off to get on a train! We're headed to Belgium tonight to stay there for the night because
tomorrow
we have....wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....ELDER CHRISTOFFERSON!! woot
woot!!! I have been sedang excited for this! (that one was for you just)
He's coming for our zone conference with 2 other zones and we were
lucky enough to be one of them. We get to spend the day with him and I
can NOT wait! The moral force of women anyone?? The man changed my life!
I'm so pumped. I think I might even have him sign my copy...haha.
Love you all so much and I hope you have a beautiful week. You are all in my thoughts and prayers always.
Love,
Soeur Cameron
