it is true i am staying in chomedey for a 7th transfer.
can you believe that. it was october when i came to this land, and it is
going to be august before the next transfer comes. so if i play my
cards right i will get transferred next time and go to an area for one
transfer while derek is in the MTC and then i will train him when he
gets here! haha we will see..
girls camp sounded like it was fun. if you could
call it camping. hahaha but i am glad you all had a good time. now trek
is on its way. em you will love trek. i had the greatest time there. i
can't believe my trek brother is already home. i like davey. he is a
great lad. tell him i say hello next time you see the lad.
I bet you didn't know how strong the Lord can make
his missionaries. literally we moved a piano. there is no way that we,
mortal men, could have moved that ancient relic with out the strength of
the Lord. lets just say there were angels in the outfield. we had to
take this thing up some stairs. but we soon realized that the corner we
had to get it around was just a little bit too tight. so being the quick
witted elders that we are we turned it on its side (yeah it might need a
tune) and we snuck it through the tight squeeze and in to the new room.
we defiantly offered a prayer of gratitude after that one. it was a fun
memory. i thought i was going to get smashed by a piano. that would
have been a sad way for elder cameron to go. but i am still alive
the whole time we were moving it sister jeary( the owner of the
piano) her friend, who is 80 years old was telling us that back when he
was our age he could have put the piano on his back and carried it all
the way by himself. haha he is a funny old guy. even if he isn't trying
to be. his name is Jose. he is an italian and a very stereotypical one
at that. haha he is a non member and we keep trying to get him to come
to church. he said he would come this last week but he didn't show up.
so maybe next week.
I ate chicken gizzard this week. I asked to know
what it was after i ate it so i could get it down. but it was actually
pretty good. i would eat it again. i probably wouldn't buy it but i
would eat it if it was offered to me. we were fed that from sylvia our
investigator from Kenya. it was a really good lesson. we talked about
our life on earth. we discussed the things that we have to do to make it
back to our Heavenly Father and to be happy. It truly is just living
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 5 simple steps bring a multitude of
blessings. I think she will get baptized soon.
we went to a store that is similar to DI. i know
mother you are already worried. but dont fret we bought some sick
sweater vest. cardigan style. and there was a special so we got them
half off! imagine that. a 1.50 for a great looking sweater vest.
incredible. i am quite the savvy shopper.
I was reading in the Doctrine and Covenants and i came across this scripture:
The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not;
nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God,
being quickened in him and by him.
50 Then
shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the
true light that is in you, and that you are in me; otherwise ye could
not abound.
I love this scripture. One day we will be with our Father in Heaven
again. And we will know that He is there and that He is the source of
all light and truth. We will be quickened by Him and if we stay true and
faithful to the covenants we have made with Him we will be able to
understand all that He does. we truly will become like Him. That is a
crazy thought. Sometimes in our world and in this life it seems a little
too good to be true. There is a lot of heart ache and a lot of things
that are unfair. But if we endure this life well than we have the
promise that we can live as He does.
I know He is there and that He loves us very much. I love being a
representative of His Son Jesus Christ. Thank you for all the support
and the prayers that you have given. The only reason i can stay here and
do this work is because of You. i Love you all very much
