Wow what a week. mom that is super cute what the children did for you! i wish i could have seen it!

well emily going to prom? what is this! man when i left she was like 12, and now she is 16. nothing makes sense anymore. 

I got the package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally. thank you so much. i have already eaten most of the candy haha.! it was so kind of you. thank you so much! 

we had a great week. we even got to perform a song at a talent show. i am sending the video now . i hope it works so that you all can watch it. we played come thou fount. i arranged it similar to the sufjan stevens version for all you sufjan fans. i hope you enjoy. we had a lot of less actives come to the talent show. it was so great. soeur gagnon came! finally! i was so happy to see her. she loved our song too! it was great. 

can you believe mothers day is in 2 weeks? c'est fou quoi! so i have been thinking. you probably are on the same page with me. but it is not necessary to send a birthday package seeing as how i will be coming home soon there after. I dont think it would even make its way to ottawa before i would leave. thank you so much for all your support you have given me. i love you all so much!

guess what we got a new investigator this week! his name is daniel. he requested a book of mormon on the website and we went over to deliver! he let us in and we talked with him for an hour about the book of mormon. it was really cool because i was on an exchange with elder hernadez. a missionary that was in the mtc with natalie. he and i came out together. we havent served around each other until our very last transfer. and there is another missionary in our distric as well that we go home with. so it is pretty cool. we call ourselves the 3 nephites because we are the only ones left from our original transfer! haha. he is a great missionary. 

bon. i love you all very very much. sachez que vous etes super et fort! je vous aime trop! de la lune et retour!

so i had a video that i uploaded but it didnt make it. anyways it was for justins birthday. i guess i will just have to try it again. so sorry for the delay 

hello everyone! i am doing well! It has been a good week. My new companion is from idaho, his name is elder thurgood. he is great

i have not got the package yet but i am sure that i will get it sometime soon. the problem is we have to wait for the zone leaders to go to montreal for a meeting so they can bring mail back. So that is why it takes a long time. I dont know when the next meeting is but i think it is within the next couple weeks. Thank you so much haha sorry it takes so long

man i cant believe that sam is home. that is crazy.

this week was good

we had a really good lesson in priesthood yesterday about reading the scriptures. There was this a really cool proverb that was shared: better to light a candle than curse the darkness. We were talking about how a lot of times there is darkness around us and we have 2 choices. we can do something about it or we can just curse the darkness. If we have the influence of daily scripture study we can find our small candles to light all around us. They may only give a little light but they give enough to move forward. 

anyways it made me want to study the scriptures a little more each day and have something to take  with me through out the day. it is easy as a missionary because we teach that Gospel everyday, we have to study. I guess i am just trying to build up that habit so that will never slip from me even after being home and not having to teach a lesson everyday. 

we have a talent show coming up this week and we are singing come thou fount. i arranged it a little differently so we will see how it goes. i will film it and send her home. Hope you enjoy. I followed in my brothers footsteps and made a harmonica holder so i could play the guitar at the same time. 

I love you all very much. we have to help the zone leaders today. they are moving in with us. it is now a 4 man! i am really excited to have my friend elder andersen there with me. we go home together. Godspeed.

thats how you type the Olympics song.

i needed a musical introduction to present to you the fate of elder cameron for his last 6 weeks as a missionary.

he will be staying in gatineau but he will be receiving a new companion. elder thurgood from idaho. you may have seen his face before because he was in my last district when i was in ste foy. he was in rimouski. he has been there for 10ish months. crazy. he spent as much time there as i did in chomedey.

so yeah that is the future of elder cameron. in 6 weeks i will come home.

so i have a challenge for you all!!!!! i hope you will accept it because i am going to do it. I challenge you to read the book of mormon before i come home! it is called the transfer challenge! I will be reading it in french for my last time. but you can read in english if you so desire. this is my challenge to you. if you dont want to that is ok. you dont have to. but i thought it would be a fun family thing. so who is with me?

this week was fun. we were a little sick still at the beginning. i was getting over my cold... still am... and elder hattaway got a little sick. so it wasnt the most lively week. but we tried our best. the end of the week was good.

we found out saturday night that elder hattaway was leaving so bishop invited us to come eat at his house yesterday. it was so fun. we sang hymns, i played some guitar. told the children some stories because they are crazy! haha here is a photo of our fun

hahaha i had to ruin at least one photo. the gun is  not pointed at sabrinas head.
here is the serious one
these kids are great. what a fun family.
thank you so much for doing school for me. i sent the email so hopefully that will fix everything. i love you all very much Godspeed

wow wasnt conference the greatest!!

i have not received the package yet, but thanks so much in advance. you are all too kind!

how are all you all doing? i am doing just great. started off a little rough this week. we visited a family with 3 cats. i have found out that i am pretty allergic to cats. i was dying in there. a mix of my allergies asthma and the change of weather gave me a cold. so i have been a little sick for this week. not too fun. but life goes on right??

besides that it was a good week, i went on an exchange in ottawa. It is a cool place. kind of a strange capitol. really small to be a national capitol.. I went with elder andersen. i came into the mission field with him. it was fun to catch up. we have served around each other for most of our missions. He is  a good guy. we had a passover meal with a family in his unit. it was a really cool experience. they talked about Elijah turning the hearts of the fathers to the children ect. I really enjoyed the lamb we ate, with the pita bread. good stuff. we watched the movie because he lives with them.

a turkesh woman told us her life story the same day. lets just say i am glad i have a normal family... well for the most part... and that everyone loves eachother. she had one messed up family. it was so sad to her the stories of her poor country.

conference never ceases to amaze me. every year. how does it happen. i have a very specific question like: what does it mean to fear God? and then elder bednar just whips that one out. 

Look at these cool pictures
