Hey fam fam!
This week was great. Crazy! but great. We had 3 exchanges and lots and lots of time spent on trains. haha I think we spent over 10 hours on trains or something like that? We had so much fun with the Tours soeurs, going to Arras, and then ending in Valenciennes! I got to back to my ville. It was so much fun. But so exhausting. After our last train coming into paris, we took the RER to Torcy for our DMP meeting and made it towards the end of it. The elders all looked at us and had these scared looks on their faces. haha we looked like we didn't ride the train, we got hit by it! We felt like that too. But all is well and we're having a blast being busy.
I had a fun surprise on exchanges in Arras with Soeur liabeuf! She
is a bleu and just got here. She is from the South of France and has
been in the church for 3 years. She asked me where I was from and she
told me American Fork. She was excited and told me that she stayed there
for a couple of days last summer! I was shocked and asked who she
stayed with. And she told me the Elder who baptized her. I asked his
name and she told me the name of none other than DAVID SMITH. Small
world right? I told her that I grew up with him and his family lived
right down the street. She was so surprised and we had a fun time
talking about her time with the Smith family. She adores them, as she
should, and was so touched by their kindness. Sounds just like them
right? She told me her conversion story and the huge impact that David
made on her decision to join the church. Pretty incredible. I thought it
was so neat. As missionaries sometimes we never know the impact we'll
have. Thanks to the missionaires that found and taught her, she is now
serving a mission changing countless lives here in France. Her story is
incredible. I was really moved by her faith and courage and commitment
to God. Way to go David Smith! This week was great. Crazy! but great.

We also went to Valenciennes the next day and I was able to
go with Soeur Williams! It was so much fun and we were able to pass by
people that we had found together. We stopped by Patricia and she told
us about the day I found her clear back in January. It was so cool and
such a fun Rendez-vous. She is now progressiong. I love that. It was fun
being back there.
I also have some HUGE NEWS. Get ready for this. After years
and years of obstacles and problems the PARIS FRANCE TEMPLE just got
cleared on Friday to FINALLY MOVE FORWARD. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH MIRACLE. Elder Anderson came here on Friday
and announced it and we are dying. It means the world and the members
here are so happy. We have focused all of our work now on the temple and
preparing these people to go. in 2 and a half years, it will be done.
My dream is to come back. Mabye that can be our trip? hint hint?

this is the video I watched in my very first zone conference
that changed my whole mission and set the tone for everything I have
done. http://youtu.be/I6FKiNVbw3Y
we decided to show it and focus on the Savior. We also arranged the
last musical number. Soeur poz loves music so we decided to arrange God
be with you till we meet again with our mission song. we added in all
the languages spoken in our mission, and i'm really excited to see how
it turns out. It was an incredible experience writing it and feeling the
spirit write it. I will try to film it.
This week I have really enjoyed all the beautiful things we
have around us. I found the most incredible talk talking about how
refined our Heavenly Parents are.
"The nearer we get to God, the more easily our spirits are touched by refined and beautiful things." Elder Callister
I
know this is true, and I know that God wants us to enjoy life and the
beautiful things too. I have felt Him so much here! Not because it's
Paris France, but because I know He's my Father. And He's with me
wherever I go.
I love you all and am praying for you. i hope you have a beautiful week!
Love,
Love,
Soeur Cam
