January 13, 2015

Hello how are you all
yes i know today is tuesday and pday is usually on monday. but unfortunately we have from time to time something that is called zone training meeting. and when president cant make it to ottawa any other day of the week he chooses monday. so that is why my day of preparation in on tuesday 

well i suppose i shall respond to questions before giving an account of my dealings with my fellow men this week. 
first answer, i am well thank you for asking. Mother you are very close to the spirit always remember that, i had a couple rough days this week but i felt the prayers. Thank you for all you do, insert smiley face
second I did receive grandmas package and i sent them a thank you email, but i guess they did not receive it. pity. i shall send another

Man i almost died this week, usually i wouldn't tell these kinds of stories to my mother but it was quite humorous therefore i cant help but share. I shall do so by recounting my story of leaving sainte foy 

I woke up tuesday the 6th at 5:45 in order to catch the bus which would take me from quebec city to montreal at 6:30. After preparing my self, i said goodbye to my fellow missionary friends and i left the beautiful land of quebec. It was a sad farewell but full of love. I left with one other missionary who was going home. We made it to the bus station after a very long and cold ride. we arrived at the station Berri Uquam. now for all you who know the metros of montreal you would realize that this place is a very busy and stressful station, for it connects 3 different lines, the heart of montreal. I had to drag my luggage through the station and get on a metro to go 3 stops to laurier, drag my luggage up the stairs and across the street to the mission office. then after about a half hour i did the exact same thing, but this time i got on a bus to ottawa. after on the bus i sat and stared out the window. I was pretty sad i wont lie. I loved being in quebec. it was a great 6 months. But when i got off i met my new companion! elder Hattaway. He is great. Seriously one of the funniest guys i have met. We get along just fine. the are is good too. a little bizarre but i am having a good time. my district is a really young one. i am the oldest by over a year, in mission time that is. my comp is actually older than me. you know that is an interesting fact i have never been older than any of my comps. 
anyways so i meet him and this other man named steve. he is an investigator of ours. he is really nice and willing to help us out. he gave us a ride back to our place because we have no car, yet. hopefully this week. 
So this is the part where i almost die. as much as i love steve he is  a terrible driver. i was trying to get to know him a bit, and maybe this was my fault, but i asked him some questions and then he started to turn around to talk to me while he was driving! the red jeep in front of us got closer and closer. He swerved out of the way just in time, and managed to visit 5 lanes with out touching a single other car. After some profane language, he offered a prayer of gratitude to thank the Lord for getting the two elders home in safety. now that is a man! 

we have had a great time here thus far, with many adventures to come. I have found a new love for puzzles. i think i am going to have to get some. We just finished one today. good stuff, great for stress relief. 

I love you all very much
Godspeed
elder cameron
