hey y'all

so nat this is weird you are dating people. i am not sure how i feel about my sisters dating people. you're not ready emily and nat, wait about 7ish months and maybe you can be ready... 

we had a really cool week, so you may be wondering why the subject of this letter is how i could have protection, well let me tell you a story

so we sent a message to our main man Emmanuel, he is a black guy from Martinique, he asked us if we wanted to come to a gospel meeting with his friends at his house. we said of course! and so we showed up and 6 black guys were just chillin in front of us. So i started joking with them and challenged them to some fooseball because we have gotten pretty good at baby foot, but then they all starting talking to us about the Church and what we believe. we were able to teach a little bit of the first lesson. so that was cool. they all love us now and if we were in a fight they would come and have our backs for sure. though i dont think that we will be fighting anyone soon, but one never knows so i am glad those guys are on our side

next cool story, we called up a potential and set up a rendez-vous to talk about music, let me explain. when i called him he asked if i play music, so i said of course i do i love to play, and then he asked if we could help him with some gospel songs that he is working on, so we invited him to the institute and we talked about the Gospel, it was really cool. We are going with a different approach this time but it is really fun. 

I am doing well family, my health is good, i am scared for winter, quebec winters are colder than montreal winters. so i will let you know if i need anything. I am healthy wealthy and wise smiley face! well folks that is all for me this week, 

starting a new transfer this week, dont worry i am staying in ste foy for another 6 weeks. I love it here. 

you rock

Godspeed

How y'all doing on this brisk autumn day

is it brisk in dear old american fork, because it is certainly brisk here

I just want you all to know that i love you very much and i thank you for your prayers. Please let the ward know that i love them too. I have been thinking about all the things that i have learned from my parents and the man that i have become because of them. I haven't totally messed up so you should be proud haha, i made it out here so that is something special. We are so blessed to have a family where we are all so active and strong in the church. this past week a lot of people have talked to me about justin. I always say, let me tell you about my hero. for example the belanger family who saw my man main justin once a week in ste foy always says, elder cameron t'es comme ton frere mais moins sérieux, haha elder cameron you are like you brother but less serious. hey i will take the compliment!

this week was great we had some sweet lessons, we even found a new investigator! bernadetter from the congo! she is super nice, she is actually a former investigator and so we picked her up again to see if she is ready this time around to accept the covenant of baptism. 

I had an exchange with my zone leader. it was super fun. i love him he is hilarious we had a good time. We are just doing work up here in quebec city

we have been able to work with some new less actives too which is awesome. there are so many less actives in quebec so we are trying to find all those who are willing to come back but just need a little time. I love working with less actives. i love to try and bring hope back into their lives. I love when you can feel the Holy Ghost working through to saying something that they needed to hear. It is awesome! I love being a missionary

la vie est belle mes amis. life is beautiful 

so when was the last time that you shared the gospel with a friend. i know it is harder at home because most of our friends are members but we know people! there are always people who have been prepared to receive us! 

i love you all

i am well i love the mission and my companion i am healthy and trying to be wise haha not very wealthy though

salut mes amis, comment ca va? 

I GOT THE PACKAGE and lets just say, I experienced heaven while eating symphony bars on a ferry this week. yeah how cool is that we took a ferry. that is pretty neat. actually the reason we had to take the ferry is because our branch president invited us to eat canadian thanksgiving dinner at his house. the problem is that he lives on the south shore and the bridge is pretty far away so we agreed to take to ferry which is closer to his house. Then he picked us up from where the ferry dropped us off. That was special.

this week we did a ton of service. seriously it was crazy. so this family asked us to come and help rake the leaves. I am down with raking leaves but then as we got there they said there are a few things we have to take up from the basement. so that was fine you know we are strong young pups. we got most everything but then there was a huge piece of plywood and on the other side was tile, for a bathroom i think. this thing must have weighed like 240 lbs. there was no way that elder draper and i could get this thing by ourselves so the member handed us a sledge hammer and said go to work. So i grabbed that sucker and said, MERICA and hit that thing until all the tile was in tiny pieces on the ground. It was really fun but i was dead after that, and that was all before even racking one leaf. So then we spent a good 3 hours getting all the leaves from off of the ground. Boy did it take a while, my back was on fire, still kind of is, i have not fully recovered from the pain of service. But i felt good inside... kind of haha. i actually was having a small asthma attack while trying to be a hero and smash the tile board, I felt like an old man. But dont fret because being the eagle scout that i am i had my fast acting inhailer strapped to my belt. ok maybe it was not on my belt but it was close. So i am fine, and alive and sore. 

we had some great lessons this week. we taught a family from nepal. it is pretty tough because they dont speak french or english too well so we are trying our best. We also got to see clarence our investigator. he is doing well. we had a killer lesson with him. we told him strait up that he has to pray and ask God. and he came to church!! that was great to see. 

we had a fun week. thank you so much for the package it made my week. thank you for the letters. Dad thank you for your 3x5 card, you said something i really needed to hear. mother you always make me smile with your crafty notes. and emily my banjo card is taped to the wall. thank you so so much

I love you all!

I will tell you one story, so clarence our 76 year old black investigator came to the priesthood session. we were so pumped, but as we walked out to greet him he strolls up with a lady on his arm looking like a womanizer haha and he says gentlemen! HE BROUGHT A DATE TO THE PRIESTHOOD SESSION haha that is the coolest thing that has happened this week. if only he knew what it was before hand it was so funny! man i love you all i hope you are not disappointed with my short email but justin and nat and jess and ammo and shannon understand..... haha elder cam
