Wow, what a whirlwind of a week.
My heart is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude and an awareness that God lives. Oh how much I love Him. So
Wednesday,
Soeur Henson and I took our RER to Paris for the last time together.
What a bitter sweet feeling. It was really hard to see her go, but I was
so happy for her and the return she had with her family. She is an
absolutely incredible person and I miss her so much. But I'm so excited
for all the adventures that await us AM aka after mission. I met Soeur
Waite and she is fun! She is from Idaho Falls and we are having so much
fun together.
This week I set my transfer goals for my last transfer. I
prayed a lot to know what God wanted me to know. A common theme in my
life the past few months has been light. We studied it a lot and found
it a lot in beautiful scenes and people. And one of the most beautiful
songs ever written describes it best: "Lights will guide you home, and
ignite your bones and I will try to fix you" Coldplay gets it.
My last transfer goals are all centered around light. Finding
it in others, in myself, from the Savior, and letting the light guide me
home. Already, it has been so apprent and real. God's light is real and
when we look for it, we'll be surprised at how healing and beautiful it
is.
This week we went to our ami Marie-Line's home. She went on
vacation last week and had a lot of weird experiences where she was in
danger. In all of the situations, she was able to remain calm and felt
peace. She told us that she knew it was from God and He was protecting
her. She then told us that she'd been reading. She takes her BOM with
her to work and she used to hide it face down. But now, she keeps it
face up so everyone can see and ask her questions. She was reading a
verse this week and had an experience. She was trying to find the verse
with us while we were there and she didn't know where it was! We looked
and looked and we prayed and right after she found it. It was 1 Nephi
11. She read the first 3 verses and told us that she had written her
testimony. She read it to us and we all wept; She told us that she knew
for herself that the Book of Mormon was true. That God is real and the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. That He
has liberated her into becoming someone new. Then she told us that she
was ready to be baptized. Oh my goodness. I will never be able to
explain the joy I felt. I love that woman so much. And I will never
forget her face. We prayed to know when because she was feeling in
November. We told her that we knew she was ready, why wait? So she
prayed, and she received a confirmation that the
6th of September
was right. At church, she was just glowing taking notes and telling
everyone that she was going to get baptized. She was just SHINING with
light. And it was a testimony to me that He's lighting my way home.
We also saw our other amis Maryse and her husband Serge. We
had an incredible rendez-vous where we taught the restoration. The
spirit was so thick and they were so into it. We invited them to be
baptized as a family and they were so happy and agreed that they wanted
to pray and do this all together. Serge came to church and just loved
every minute.He was shining as we sang. And lighting up the room.
To me, the light of christ is the illuminating symbol of the
Atonement. Its effects are immediate that will gradually expand our
horizons to knowing who we are and why we are here. As we become worthy
to ask the question why light is such a pivital part of our mortel
existence and progression, God will use this very power to illuminate
our understanding and show us that He gave us His light to remember. It
is a piece of Him.The very God that created us Through light, we come to
know the One who created it. . I believe that light was a grand part of
our premortal understanding and existence and may be why it was among
the first things God created. Light is breathtaking. it is magnificant.
And it is healing. At the core of each one of us, we see the same light,
captivating the space of existence together as a united race of eternal
beings with a potential to create a light of our own.
Through light, we see. Through this light we are led to those who need light.
Through this light, we are liberated. Through this light we are set free.
Through this light we are healed. Through this light we can heal others.
Throuh this light we become more like Him-the true light of the world.
Shining our lights all together to prepare
His path of a triumphant, glorious, and bright return.
I
know He lives, and His light is guiding me home. I am enjoying and
embracing every last moment that I have of this beautiful journey. He
his igniting my bones and fixing me. I love Him.
Thank you for the lights that you are to me. I can feel the
warmth of your lights shining all across the world, leading me home.
I love you,
Love Soeur Cameron
