Well it sounds
like everyone had a swell Easter! It sure was a great one out here too.
It was pretty special being a missionary celebrating the Resurrection of
the Savior. We had a lot of neat experiences.
So I dropped of my daughter Soeur Richards at her train and
said goodbye. It was hard! She has become one of my dearest and most
special friends. I sure do love her. I picked up Soeur Williams, my new
companion! And I love her already. She is from Syracuse Utah and is just
the greatest. We have already had a lot of fun together.
This week we had a lot of FHE's scheduled with the members to
bring their friends and family to learn more about easter! Most of them
fell through unfortunately, but we saw a lot of miracles instead. We
went to the Bishop's house for one of them and their friend cancelled at
the last minute. their 9 year old daughter Pauline had a friend knock
at the door and came in to play! She cam and listened to the message we
had prepared. We shared a little Mormon Message of the Resurrection and
throughout the whole video Pauline was quitely testifying to her friend
and answering her sweet little questions. "Who is that on that cross?"
"That's Jesus. He died for you. But then He got resurrected so you can
live again too. Isn't that cool?" I quietly listened in and my heart was
overwhelmed. She is the greatest missionary ever. Her little friend
will one day remember those words, and the words that she always tells
her! And it will bring her to the church again.
Throughout the week, in our STL zone all the sister's
would forward their miracles. It was pretty incredible and unifying to
hear of all the miracles our mission was having. the Savior really can
change the world, even in France.
In Sacrament meeting, our chapel was FILLED! It was
a sight to see. We had less-actives, in-activies, part member families,
amis, visiters and more! It was so incredible. And the spirit was
strong. there wasn't any specially arranged Randy Cox's numbers, or
beautiful flower pieces on the pulpit, but there was such a sweet spirit
of the Savior. And we all felt Him there.
Easter night we went and visited Mary France and Dider. She is
our recent convert who suffers from being dangerously obeise. She has
health issues from her thyroid and now more and more gets added on. She
has been pretty hopeless these past few months. But little by little the
light has come back. Yesterday we visited her and she was a different
person! She was standing and smiling and she looked amazing! She told us
that the night before, she had had a dream. And in her dream she saw my
face, and all the faces of the people that were praying for her. And
she knew that everything was going to be ok. She now has the hope to
begin again and to start on her road to recovery. Pretty incredible
right? I have a testimony of the power of prayer!
This week I studied President Monson's talk more about Love that he gave in conference. I love this quote.
"Dale
Carnegie, a well-known American author and lecturer, believed that each
person has within himself or herself the “power to increase the sum
total of [the] world’s happiness … by giving a few words of sincere
appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged.” Said he, “Perhaps
you will forget
tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
May we begin now, this very day, to express love to all of God’s
children, whether they be our family members, our friends, mere
acquaintances, or total strangers. As we arise each morning, let us
determine to respond with love and kindness to whatever might come our
way."
I love that and know that it is true! Love and especially the
Love given to us through the Savior can change the world! I'm going to
take President Monson's challenge as well to try to love for
effectively!
Well I LOVE you all so much. Thank you for all of your LOVE
and support. I feel your prayers and they mean the world. I hope you all
have an incredible week full of LOVE and miracles as well.
Love,
Your Nat Girl AKA Soeur Cameron
