Dear Family and Friends,

I am doing great!! We had a pretty slow, but great week! Our half mission Christmas party was pretty fun, it was in Tallahassee at the Stake Center, the first 5ish hours were kinda boring but the last 2ish hours were awesome!!!! It was on Dec 13th, and for the first 5ish hours missionaries took turns sharing talents and some missionaries were called on to bear testimony and then we had lunch, we got small portions but that's ok, I don't need a lot of food! And then after lunch we watched Brave and then all the missionaries that are going home this transfer got up and bore testimony to half the mission, so I got to do that too! It was pretty good. Thanks for the Christmas letters!!! I did get the card from the Thompson's! Tell them thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well the puppies aren't born yet but they should be born by the time I leave but they have to stay with their mom for a bit so they would be ready by Feb I think. Haha!!! Me plan worked!!!!!! Plus he REALLY does need a playmate!! He has had a boring life!!! I know it will cost money to get it there, I just have to find out how much it is. 

 

Ummmm..... you could send some M&M choco cookies and some cheesecake cookies, but don't send a lot please!! I'll enjoy the rest when I come home!!! Oh I kinda is starting to sink in that I only have a month left!!! It's very weird!! I feel like I've spent my whole life doing this stuff!!!

 

Haha! In the Bristol Ward yesturday there was a young man who gave his farewell and he is going to the Provo Utah Spanish Speaking Mission. So maybe he will come out to Eagle Mountain!! haha!!! 

 

Well Becky is doing good, she's moving along slowly but she has picked Jan 5th as a day to work towards being baptized!!!! Rhonda is not really doing much right now, I think that since she can't come to church right now that has kinda put her on hold on getting baptized, she wouldn't mind being baptized but she can't get Sundays off until her work redoes the scheduling and there is no telling when that is.  
So on Wednesday we have dinner at a Part- Member family's house and he (Elvaro, el-var-o, he is from Argentina I think) has been investigating for 3ish years. She (Hannah) is the member, she keeps trying to get us to join the choir because she is the director and Elder Ogilvie felt that we should make a deal with them, if they read scriptures or pray 5 out of 7 days as a family then we would join the choir. She accepted! And then on Sunday she told us they did it and so we joined the choir. After the practice we went to lunch at her brother's house and Elvaro told us that as he was listening in Sacrament Meeting to a lady sharing her conversion story and seeing his family it all clicked in his head!! He told us that he was waiting on a sign but then the thought came, what more signs do you need and he told us he wants to get baptized!! And he even wants to try and do it before I leave!! And get this, he is a huge Star Wars fan!!!! So I think this will be my Star Wars fan convert!!!!! Thanks Richie!!! So we are going to start reteaching him the lessons about twice a week!! Well I think that will do for this email!!

Merry Christmas!!!! I love y'all!!!!

Love,

Elder Cameron Williams

Dear Family and Friends!!
Yes I want a dog!! I like dogs, just not when they can't control their bladder. Since I have been here and known that this dog was going to have puppies. I will be about the size of a black lab, maybe a little smaller. We can make the dog a mostly outside dog except in the winter, we may have to get a bed for him in the garage or something. He would stay with yall while I'm at school. :) Emily would LOVE that!! And Buddy could have a play mate! (He NEEDS a playmate)

Ok sounds good! I will prepare for the 20th!

 

Emily it sounds like your getting pretty good at basketball!!! Maybe I'll get to watch some of your games!!!! :) That's good that y'all got the tree up!! Have y'all been counting down the days til Christmas??

Aunt Carol was in the hospital?!? That's not good, but that is good that she is now home!! Yes!!!!! GO BYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is BYU playing in a bowl game???

 

My week has been pretty good! Not too much happening, we had a couple of lessons with Becky this week, on Tuesday we watched the Prophet of the Restoration with her and she liked it, she didn't like how people were so mean to the  early Saints! And we then taught the Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity and it went pretty well!!! She has committed to start living those commandments a step at a time!! We will continue working with her and hopefully she will get baptized before I leave!!! I would REALLY love that!! But if it doesn't happen when I am here as long as it happens I will be fine!! We had the Ward Christmas party this week and we had alot of fun at it!! There was alot of food!!!! Really good food!!! I think that's about it for this email! I love y'all very much!!!

 

Love,

Dear Family and Friends,

Well today is transfer day and it's official... I will be dying off in Hosford!!!! I'm excited!!! Elder Ogilvie is staying too! That's AWESOME that Rachael got her mission call!!!!  Our Thanksgiving was pretty warm too!! This week flip flopped alot with the weather!!! Some days were chilly and rainy and other days were bright and warm! You are going to have to show me some of those videos when I get back!!

Sounds like a fun week!! Emily don't get down about losing to Lone Peak, mourn for a time and look at what you can learn from it and then get back up, move on, and don't look back!!!

I do have enough Christmas music to listen to! Thank you! I did get to watch the Frist Pres Devo, we watched it at Bishop's house after dinner! It was really good!!

 

Well before I forget, there is a member here in Hosford that are going to be having half black lab/ half hound puppies around the time that I will be leaving and I wanted to let y'all know that I wanna try and get one! He said he would just give me one or all if I wanted, but I know I can't have all. This wasn't a planned event! But yeah, he will probably have to ship the puppy to me because they might not be ready to leave their mom when I come home! 

This week was good! We had to patch up a big misunderstanding between Becky and Rhonda and the members we have trying to fellowship with them. Over a small thing. We were able to smooth it out! Becky has been struggling a bit this week, her ex-fiance took too much money out of an account and left not enough to pay the bills and she is dealing with alot of crap right now!! Satan is trying to work on her really hard because she is progressing towards baptism!! She has also been struggling with reading the Book of Mormon and keep the commitments we ask her to do! This week we are going to try and fix that and help her realize how much doing these small things will help in the long run!! Well that is about it for this week! This upcoming Friday Elder Ogilvie and I will be the narrators at the Primary Program for the Ward Christmas party!! It's exciting!! Well I think that'll do it for this email! I love y'all and I pray for ya everyday!!!

Love,

Elder Cameroon Williams
