Hello Everyone,
First off yes our boundaries changed, I may have forgotten to tell you that the Georgia, Macon Mission was being dissolved and we got a zone from it. The Tifton Zone! Alma, GA is an interesting little town. It's not quite as small as Dogriver, but it still is pretty small! My companion is Elder Boudrero (Bow-drair-o) he is from Logan, UT. He looks like Trent! I was transfered in a big 10 person van to Tallahassee, it pulls a trailer behind it for everyones luggage and bikes and then I rode in a car with some of the Elders from the Pensacola Zone (almost half of the elders in the Pen Zone got transferred, and a few came to Georgia too), then we stayed the night in a members house (when we got to Tifton it was about 9ish) and in the morning headed out to our areas.
My new address is
Elder Cameron Williams
144 Mohawk River Rd
Alma, GA 31510
I live in a double wide trailer, and it's just me and my companion! There is alot of heat here, but what's worse is the gnats! They swarm your face! It stinks! We have done alot of biking lately because we are running low on miles, but we have a car too. We live about 1-2 miles outside town so we will probably be doing alot of biking, and it's a small town! We have AC. I am now 2 hours ahead of y'all!
It's a good thing y'all checked the van! Sounds like y'all are having/ going to have alot of fun! I have had a little corn on the cob!
Well my week has been interesting! I said my goodbyes to people in Milton and came out here. I got to Alma thursday morning. I unpacked and then had lunch and then we got on our bikes and headed out to go to work! Now since i have been here I have met about 1/4 of the town and have seen about 1/2-3/4 of the town! And I see alot of the same people every day! I have met alot of people and I couldn't name them all right now because they were brief visits and alot of them! Now church was in a miniature building alot like our old building! The chapel only had 8 rows! There were 53 people in attendance!
Well enjoy Canada and send my love to everyone up there and to everyone that isn't in Canada! Enjoy your week and make the best of it! I love y'all!
Love Elder Cameron Williams

Cameron's Letter July 18, 2011
Dear Family (everyone at the Cabin) and everyone else who may be reading this,
This week was a good week. Man I can't believe ya'll would play "The Imperial March" without me! It's like ya'll don't love me or something! Thank you for the package! It got here last Monday.
(Now for this part mom you or dad have to do an announcer voice if you are going to read this to the Family!) Aunts and uncles and cousins of all ages I have news! I am being transfered to Alma, Georgia!!! (Ok you don't need to do an announcer voice any more) Well I was told that Elder Leyba and I weren't going to be split this transfer, but I found out early (my ZLs) that I am being transfered! Alot of people here in Milton are sad that I am leaving, and I am too, but it feels like my next step in a larger mission! It will be good!
Sounds like you girls had an intense Girls Camp, and alot of rain! It rained here too for about 2 days straight and it's supposed rain the next 10 days down here, but I'm not sure if that well be the same in Alma. And now ya'll are having fun at the Cabin! Hey well it's gotta be the most fun you have had since I left right!!! Man ya'll are doing holiday themes!?!?! I love Christmas! Is there any Star Wars Epic Duels games going on??? That would be awesome if there was! I also love Papa Murphys Pizza!! Village Pizza is also great! I wish I had some!
Oooooooooooooooo!!!!! Kiki has a new boyfriend!!! That's awesome!!!
Please let everyone know that if they have recieved a letter from me that they should write me back, and they should use the address of my mission office! And also if others want to write me letters feel free to!
Well this week had ups and downs, the biggest thing was Jada got baptized! The program didn't go as I had expected it to but hey! Jada got baptized and she was confirmed yesturday in sacrament by Elder Leyba! We were finally able to see Dennis again and we set up a time to come teach him! It will be tuesday before I go. Oh and I did a trade off with the Jay missionaries tuesday and wednesday. Elder Leyba went there and Elder Hathaway came here to Milton, it was a good experince, although Elder Hathaway tripped on a root and broke his glasses, so we went to Sears the next morning so he could get a new pair! Well that's about it for this week. I love ya'll and I wish ya'll have fun the rest of the time at the Cabin!!
Love Elder Williams!

Cameron's Letter July 11, 2011
Dear Family!
First off, Happy Birthday Dad!!!!! I love you!!! It sounds like ya'll had fun and got more DVDs! Well tomorrow is my 6 month mark!!!! I know it's only 6 months but time keeps passing and nobody is going to stop it! Soon Jamie will be home and then I will be home 8 months later!! It really doesn't seem that far away!
This week was an alright week, we tried to stay as busy as we could. Sounds like ya'll have had a slow week, but the next month or so will fly by! Because ya'll are going to be vacationing alot! Send my love to everyone! I'll try to think of something to write to the family for ya'll to read at the cabin! So have ya'll seen any new movies yet? I have heard that Transformers 3 is really good! And Harry Potter comes out this friday I believe I was told!
Well as for this week we did some more painting at Cheryl's house, and we were able to talk to Allen again!! He was outta town for a few weeks! He didn't come to church unfortunately. 
On Saturday we went to a BBQ at Tasha's, it was a party for Savannah's and Jada's birthday's. Jada's birthday is today and she is going to get baptized on Saturday! It's exciting! Yesterday and Saturday we could pretty good rain storms! But they only lasted 30 minutes at the most! I'm not use to the rain storms being so short! And then 10 minutes after it stops it is clear skies! It's crazy! And we also gave some blessings this week for a sick member and her baby. On Thursday I believe it was we tracked into a lady named Gurtrude and she let us in and we talked with her and her friend that she had over. We set a time to go back so hopefully she will want to learn more, she did seem to be all there when we taught, but hopefully we will get somewhere with her! And Saturday we tracked into a guy who said that he believes 80% of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the only problem he has is that he thinks it was too long of a time when Joseph Smith saw God and Christ and the time when the Book of Mormon was published. He said that other prophets started their ministries immediately. But he said that if God tells him that this church is true then he will join.
In answer to your questions Dad, My testimony increases every time I teach about any topic.Like whenever you teach something you have to put forth time to research and learn as much as you can about it and when you teach it to others it gives resounding strength to my testimony! I feel that this church makes complete sense and I just wish that people here would take a leap of faith and listen to us!
And I'm sure I have had times like that but I can't remember any at the moment. My first response was no, but then I thought about it and felt that you didn't want a short one word response, so I'm making the response longer! 
Well that's pretty much all for my week, I wish I could come home tomorrow too Emily but I still have work to do, and as much I as love you I won't be home for another year and a half. Yes I did get your letter, but you won't get it until you get back from Girls Camp! And you will also get a letter from my companion. 
I love you guys, ya'll rock and have fun at Girls Camp, the Cabin, and Canada!

Dear Family and Friends,
I normally email at the Pensacola State College Library and they are closed on holidays.
That's great that you guys finally get warm weather! Yeah the house will do that haha! :) Humidity has hit out here, and I can handle it! :)
Thank you for forwarding Coach Robinson's reply! It was great to hear from him!
You guys are having alot of fun right now and will have more fun when girls camp comes, the Cabin, and Canada! I remember going to Canada! Those were good times! :) Wow Robbie is home! It's seems like it went by very quick! :)
Well this week was alright, last monday we played tennis (that was alot of fun)! We haven't found any new investigators yet, we just have to keep praying and listening to the spirit. And right now I'm having a little bit of a hard time hearing Him. (Sorry I don't remember much of my week, I forgot my planner back at the apartment and I usually look at that when I am typing this, but I'll do my best to remember). We killed a rattle snake! We were at Ronald's friends house just getting ready to start a lesson when his neighbor knocked on the door and said there was a rattle snake outside and that her dogs were barking at it. So all 4 of us went out and surrounded it and then killed it when it tried to make a break for it. It was only about 2 feet long but those things are dangerous at any size! After killing it, Ronald skinned it and Elder Lebya called the skin and he now has a snake skin. There is not really much else I can think of to tell you other than that we have seen alot of less actives and done some tracting. Well there is one less active that we have been seeing once a week for a couple weeks. His name is Joe and we have been teaching him the missionary lessons and he has been coming to church and he is in the process of quiting coffee and once that is done then he is going to stop smoking! He came to the Ward pancake breakfast yesturday and had alot of fun! We played with water balloons and played ultimate frisbee! After we came back we went and did our shopping and then went to lunch with Cheryl (we are helping paint her house) and John (a less active member). After that we came back and played rummy at John's house. By this time it was dinner time so we went over to Luke and Marquita's (Mar-key-ta) house for dinner. They are really cool members who are bringingas many people as they can to the gospel. Most of their families have either been reactivated or baptized into the church! It's awesome, and now they are working on their friends! Then after dinner we went and watched fire works by the Black Water River! It was a good day! Now that's all I can think of. I love you guys! I will talk to you later!
