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
