Hello everyone!
What a
beautiful week! We spent a lot of time preparing Marie-Line for her
baptism and visiting with her! She is doing just fantastic and lovely.
She is so excited for
Saturday.
It will be the best birthday present ever! We also spent a lot of time
with members this week. We made a goal to be in contact with members
every day and it was incredible the miracles we found from that! I have
been studying light this week even more and have found some incredible
things. I studied the new and everlasting covenant and the light poured
through my heart! Teaching me new things I hadn't known before. I saw
many "pillars of light" every single day.
Marie-Line shines
brighter than anyone I know. She is a different person than she was
when I met her. And this week, she has taught me what the Atonement of
Jesus Christ can do in someone's life. The minute she accepted her
Savior in her life and heart, she hasn't turned back. She has a desire
to serve and love everyone around her. She smiles and is bursting with
happiness! She is more confident in herself and finds answers daily from
Heavenly Father. I know He loves her so much and I can feel that
everytime I'm with her.
Saturday will be one of the brightest days of my mission. And
Sunday might be even brighter! Because she understands the light that will come into her heart. And she can't wait.
We
also met with many members who gave us their testimonies and conversion
stories and how the light entered their hearts. We met with many less
actives as well who once had the light and want more than anything to
have it back. I also read about another reactivated member. I studied
the story of Alma the younger and the light that he received. This time
reading it, I was really touched by the angel that came to visit him. I
think that it's interesting that we don't know who the angel was. We
don't know his name or what relation he had with alma before this life.
But in my mind, I imagined him as someone who knew him really well.
Someone who stood with him, and who saw the greatness that Alma the
Younger would become and leave on the earth. The people he'd teach. The
conversion he'd bring about. The lives saved and touched. The missionary
work fulfilled. He came with those feelings in his heart and tells him
that He was sent from God. I love how the angel tells alma to STAND.
And he does something really incredible. He begins to remind Alma who he
really is inside. Who he was before this life. In the previous chapter
we learn that Alma had a gift.
I believe that Alma
has a gift with words. At that moment in his life, he was using that to
sway people from God. The angel calls him to begin using it for good.
And the coolest part of the whole story, is that he did. How many times
in the Book of Mormon did people see an angel but didn't react. I love
Alma. And I also love the angel. I believe that we don't know who he is,
so that we can see each one of us in his eyes. My dream is to be like
him. To help people remember who they are and to help them rise above
and STAND. I want to waste and wear out my life in helping people feel
that the CAN change and they will with the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
That is what true missionary work is; It's loving people enough to help
them change.
I love my mission and my life and all the changes
God has given me. I love the time that I have now to continue to change
every last minute. the past 22 years of my life have been such a gift
and a blessing and I'm excited for this year. My 22nd year to give to
Him and to continue to learn and grow and bring more light into my soul.
I hope you all have a great week and i hope you can feel my love! Thanks for giving brith to me mom.
Sunday I'll be thinking of ya around
4 pm. Sure do love you guys.
Love,
Soeur Cameron
