Hey there fam fam!
It
was so great talking to everyone yesterday. i loved seeing you! How
grateful i am for technology. We are so blessed. Talking to my fam all
around the globe! So good to see you.
This week was good! Crazy but good. They have this little folk tale
in france that this specific week of May it was rainy rainy rainy with
crazy storms and stuff and it's true every year. And it's definitely
real! This week the weather has been INSANE. Today it POURED sooo much.
sheets of water. I'm pretty sure I'm still soaked. Haven't been dry in
awhile.
We saw some fun miracles.
Tuesday
we had that FHE with the Family Deladeriere and the less active woman!
We went and visited her. It was the first time she had seen a member in
30 years. Pretty insane right? She let us in and had 2 friends there
with her. We spoke with her and her friends and explained a little bit
more of why we were here. We showed the video BECAUSE OF HIM in french
and the spirit was so strong. I don't know about you but I LOVE that
video and cry my eyes out every time i watch it. After, there was a
moment of silence. And I felt prompted to tell them why I'm here. I
testified that I'm a young 20 something year old girl. I don't really
know a whole lot. And I can't really say anything profound. But i am
here in France BECAUSE OF HIM. Because of Him, i left my family, my
studies, my dating life, because of Him; Because I LOVE Him. I know Him
and I know He know He loves us all. I testified that I knew He knew them
too. That they weren't forgotten. We all had tears, and He was with us.
Daniele, the member looked at me with tears in her eyes and smiled.
I'll never forget it. Her friends were receptive and said they want to
know more. We found out she left the church because of a tithing issue
and a remark that a member had made. 30 years of missed blessings
because of that. Crazy. So we set another rendez-vous to come back. It
was a special little moment.
We also went to Paris for our exchange like I was telling you
about. Learned a whole lot too. Like not to eat African food like never
again no matter how stinkin good it is. haha All 4 of us got food
poisioning and had some fun memories RUNNING home. Had some fun laughs
about that.
This week I learned a lot in my studies as well; I did
something kinda fun! I've been studying the Godhead and I went through
and highlighted all the things that talked about Heavenly Father in my
patriarchal blessing. I was amazed to see how much His name alone is
brought up. It was a testimony to me that He knows me. He loves me. And
He is aware of me. I love Him so much. It was a really cool experience
and something really fun to do! You might want to check it out too and
see how the Godhead is in your blessings too. I'm going to do the Savior
this week.
Last night after we skyped, we had a little time left. We
decided to go check on a less active. She wasn't there, so we kept
walking and found a woman sitting on a bench. We went and contacted her
adn told her how much God loved her. She began to cry and told us that
her husband had just died and she was all alone. She had a big grocery
bag filled with alcohol and she said that's what she does to numb up. We
testified that the way to feeling more of her husband wasn't through
drinking, it was through the Savior We boldly testified that there is
hope and happiness ahead, if she can embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love moments like that. Where people feel Him for the first time in a
long time. That's one of my favorite parts of my mission. Watching the
feelings of emotion hit their hearts through the Spirit and His words
through us. It's an honor to be a witness of His miracles.
"When you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to feel you can reach and rescue others."
Pres
Monson said this, and I know it's true. Because I've been the one on
the other side being rescued as well. We watched Ephriam's rescue and I
really loved it. It reminded me a lot of Trek (ps so excited for you
guys to go this summer!!) and i thought of me and loge being in the
family learning how to rescue together. And now we're doing it together
out here. Pretty cool. I know that as we strive to become more like the
Savior, we can be answers to others' prayers. We can Continue The
Rescue, Cross the River, and Choose the Right. Good old Heritage Tours
taught me those CTR reminders. Still in use today. I love this work,
it's the greatest work in the world.
I love you guys and am so grateful for you. I hope you have an incredible week. Thanks for being a part of my rescue.
Love,
Sœur Cameron
100% No regrets I've promised to give more
