Cameron' s Letter Feb 27, 2012

Dear Family and Friends,
First off, JENNIFER'S ENGAGED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That's crazy!?!?! That's awesome!!!

I forgot to get pictures, but in the back room instead of it being everyones study room it is just Milton's study room and it has a big L shaped couch in it, and the changing room is now the Pace study room. That's about the only really changes to the apartment. Yes we still share with Pace, but we got an email from President Jensen today saying that he is wanting to get rid of all 4+ pads in the mission (meaning only 2 missionaries living together) he is in the process of getting it approved, so we will see how that goes. Not too excited about it, not going to lie, 4 pads are fun! But if it happens it happens! I have not seen Manny, he is either in the Tallahassee, Tifton, Panama City, or Dothan Stakes.

That's good that work is keeping you busy! And it sounds like everyone is doing great! Great job Emily on making the choir!!! And Laura for getting your Young Womens Medallion!! And Dad.... for... doing.... what... you... do... best? Yeah! (Just wanted to mention everyone in there!)

Elder Price and I get along great! He kind of reminds me of me! He is goofy, is a BYU fan, and is pretty good at sports! haha! But yeah we are doing great!
Oh there is one thing that I forgot to mention last week (I think) is that we have a baptism on March 3rd! He's name is Francis and his wife is a member. He is really excited to get baptized! And is amazed by how much the ward is supporting him! It's awesome to see him imbrace the Gospel in his life!
This last Tuesday we had Elder Don R. Clark of the Seventy come and talk to us! It was a good conference! We learned alot on what we need to be doing better! Like we are encouraged to find out the numbers of sacrament attendance and do our best to increase those numbers! We are excited to start putting this things into action and we hope that the ward will help us out!
Well I think that that will do for this email! I love yall VERY much!!!
Love,
Elder Cameron Williams

Cameron's Letter Feb 20, 2012

Dear Family and Friends,
Surprise!!! I didn't think I was going to get on either, but I guess President's Day isn't enough to keep the college down (I think they forgot or something!)! Haha! :)
Milton is going good! There are alot of new faces and alot of familar faces! I am back in the same place, the address is:
5424 D Millstone Circle
Milton, FL 32570

Haha! It sounds like you had a good time at Church! Haha! That's would make it easier for yall to do that over 2 Sundays!

Sounds like yall had a good Presidents Day last night! Laura will lose when Jamie comes home and Jamie will lose when I come home!!! Mwahahahahaha!!!
You sure are doing alot of work Mum! But I guess that's a good thing! At least it keeps you busy along with all the other things with Laura and Emily!
That stinks about Genie!! There is going to have to be some changes with her house won't there? (Like a new house, or rearrange the furniture there, or something)

Well I am loving Milton! My new companion is Elder Price, he is from Fallon, Nevada. My first companion that isn't from Utah or Idaho! He goes home in August. My apartment has changed a good bit! I will try to remember to take some pics so I can send them next week! We haven't done a whole lot since I have been here, I have no idea why! I have been having the worst timing at finding people home!! But I have gotten to see all of the recent converts here but Pamala! Ronald is doing really good! He has the Melchizedek Priesthood now and is working to save up money for a mission! The only bad thing is that he is working at least 6 days a week and he wasn't able to come to Church because of work. But he is doing good! (Oh and please let The Allen's and Brother Rentschler know that I got their letters and I really enjoyed them!) I can't think of anything else to say but this: This is the best time of my life right now! Serving Heavenly Father by serving his children! It is awesome to be able to share with them this Gospel that has brought so many people to the path that will lead us back to our Heavenly Father! I know that this (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is the only true and living Chruch of Christ on the Earth! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith was God's chosen Prophet to translate the Book of Mormon and to Restore the true Chruch again to the Earth! I know that Jesus Christ died for us and that He does indeed live and loves every one of us! I leave this things with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
I love yall sooooooooo much!!
Love,
Elder Cameron Williams

Cameron's Letter Feb 13, 2012

Dear Family and Friends!!!
I am doing FANTASTIC!!! I got the best news!!! I am being transferred to...... (Drum Roll)......... Milton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooo Excited!!!!!! I can't wait!! That will happen on Wednesday! But I won't be training. I learned a week ago I was being transferred, but President told me I was going to go to Destin, but he called me Saturday evening and asked how I would feel going back to Milton. I said sure, but then afterwards I sent him a text saying that my response didn't reflect how I really felt and I told him I would love to go to Milton and that I will go where ever I am asked to go! And I read the transfer info, and sure enough, I am going to Milton!!
Our Investigators are doing really good! We have had alot of good things happen this week! We now have another investigator who has accepted the invitation to baptized!! His name is Colby and he is 10 years old! His grandma and his great uncle's family are members! We went with his great uncle to teach him on Wednesday I think it was. We were told about him a few weeks ago and were just waiting til they told us he was ready for us to come by! We actually were on splits and I taught the lesson all by myself (Elder Wintrode went with another member to go give a blessing to a lady who we have been trying to get in with for a while) and asked him the invitation to be baptized and he accepted! His date is for March 10th! It was really exciting! And we had another great lesson with Corey and Megan! And they came to Church yesturday!!! Junior is still doing great!! He is still on for March 3rd! He is sad that I won't be there to see him get baptized. ... That touched me! It made me feel more special! This is a great area and I will miss it, but I can't wait to go to Milton!
Wow! Jamie needs stuff done for school already?!? That's crazy!! She will be home soon!!!! I am thinking right now that I will come home get a job and do online classes until Fall and try to go to school in the Fall! I still haven't decided for sure where I want to go.

That stinks that Genie isn't doing very well! I need to remember her in my prayers! And Aunt JaNae!
Sounds like Laura and Emily are doing good despite Emily's loses! Which is good because winning isn't everything! As long as you had fun! That's the important thing!
That's cool that yall get to talk about me in Church!!!!!! (Not meaning that to be prideful or aything!) I think that's a good idea!
Well I think that will do for my email! I love yall and will talk to yall next week!!
Love,
Elder Cameron Williams
