but first,
How cool is it that
natalie got to see my favorite companion??? elder fontaine is the
greatest. Do you see how tall this guy is??? he is even bigger
spiritually. Honestly. he told me he just got called as elders quorum
president. he hasn't even been home a week! I am gonig to visit him one
day in france and we are going to go watch a soccer match. He will be
missed in quebec.
So i
lost my car.... frowny face. another team needed the car so they had to
take ours. i was sad inside. so now we are on the bus. but it is great because this week we have had 2 major miracles on the bus. first one
back
when i was a wee little missionary in Mont saint hilaire. I taught a
man named emmanuel. unforntunalty he moved while we were teaching him.
so we were on our way to an investigators house on the bus and a boy
gets on the bus. i thought to myself, ''self you know this lad. who
could it be" but then i realized it was fransico. the son of manuel. so i
talked to him and he remembered me and i got his dads phone number and
then i called his dad, and he remembered me too! so we are going to go
and teach him again this week! i am super excited to see them all
again.
second bus miracle:
we were
on our way home when a man came up to me and said, "are you the
missionaries?" i said yes of course. then he said give me your card
please. hahah are you serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i talked with him, we
got his number and we are going to teach him too! haha wow this was too
cool. this doesn't just happen
third miracle
we
were at the institute and a guy walked in to the building. the senior
couple asked if he was there for the class and he said no he was just
curious about the building so they pointed him over to us and we
starting talking to him. we found out he was attending an alcohol anonymous group, so we know he is already working on the word of wisdom!
haha but we got his number too and we are going to start teaching him.
wow
miracles are real. and the Lord likes to bless his new missionaries. I
love training. it is the best. It reminds me of the beginning of my
mission. it is helping me go back to the basics, the fundamentals of the
gospel and to become a better missionary.
I
was reading in 3 nephi 27:32 when Jesus talks about those who would
sell Him for things that moths corrupt and things that thieves can
steal. When i was thinking about this i remembered all of the times that i
have "sold" my testimony or "sold" reading my scriptures or saying my
prayers to do something else or to have temporary satisfaction. We see
it so many times as missionaries. Everyone, even the most active members
sometimes "sell" what is most precious and what will never die for that
which is of no worth. So what must we do to keep the eternal things on
the top of our priority list? the next verse tells us that strait is the
gate and narrow the way that leads to eternal life, how do we stay on
this strait and narrow way? i have a testimony of this principle: by
small and simple things are great things brought to pass. It truly is
by doing the small things that we earn our reward in heaven. It is the
small things that shape us and help us become like our Savior Jesus
Christ. I thought this was so interesting while i was reading, you know
Gandalf got it right when he said,
"some
believe that it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but
that is not what i have found. I have found that it is the small things,
everyday deeds, done by everyday folk that keeps the darkness at bay."
inspired? i say yes
I love you all. I am praying for you. That is crazy that nat gets home soon. She is the best missionary i know.
Godspeed
elder cameron
