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

Cameron's Letter Feb 6, 2012

Dear Family and Friends,
Junior is coming along great! He came to Church yesturday and enjoyed it! We have another lesson with him tonight! Yep! January is over and in 6 days it will be my 13 month mark! It's crazy!?!?!
That's cool that Chasey got baptized!!! That's crazy that she is 8 years old!!! She's growing up soooo fast!!
Wow! Kiki is in quite the pickle!! I hope she makes the right decision! I will pray for her!
Dang it! That's too bad that Emily's team lost! Oh well! Just keep going Emmers!!! Keep working and get to know your team mates until yall become as close as if yall were siblings!!! That will really help!!
The Giants won eh? Well I don't think that Corey (Megan's husband) is too happy about that! He is a Patriots fan! We will probably hear about it from him when we have our next lesson! We are hoping to have another lesson this week!
Transfers are on Feb 15th.
Well this was a good week! We had alot of member present lessons!! Monday we had a lesson with Chris and that lesson had alot of him asking questions and not really a structure to the lesson. Tuesday we had a lesson with Junior (a member present lesson) and we taught him the 10 commandments and the Word od Wisdom! It was a great lesson!! He is excited to get baptized! He is going to work on not drinking coffee or tea! Wednesday Morning we had another lesson with Junior-- ok to explain this, we set up to see him Wednesday and every Tuesday and Wednesday we have splits with a member in the ward and Tuesday evening we went with Jake (He is leaving on his mission in April) to see Junior and we asked Junior if he still wanted us to come by Wednesday so he said sure.-- So we picked up Jake again for this lesson and we taught some more of the commandments (Pray Often, Scripture Study, and Follow the Prophet). He enjoyed that lesson too! Thursday it got really stormy here so we weren't albe to do much. Friday we got to have a member present lesson with Corey and Megan! It was really good! On the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! Megan was feeling sick so afterwards we gave her a blessing! It's always cool to participate in giving blessings!! Sautrday we went and saw Chris again and this time we brought the Young Mens President Bro. Gonzalez with us! It was really good because Bro Gonzalez is a convert and Chris likes to ask people how they came to know this was true! It was a really good lesson and went into alot of details on all of the 10 Commandments! He is slowly progressing! Unfortunately Junior was our only investiagtor who came to church! We were planning on at least 4, but I guess we can't win em all! Well I think that will do it for me this week! If you are reading this and you are outside my family please write me! I want to know how yall are doing! Well I love yall and will talk to ya next week!
Love,
Elder Cameron Williams

Cameron's Letter Jan 30, 2012

Dear Family and Friends!
My week was good! We are getting along good. We don't have many problems with them anymore (he is referring to ants & cockroaches)! We sprayed some permethrin around the house and it seems to be working!!!
YAY!!!!! That's great about Aunt JaNae!!!!!!!
Well it sounds like another day back home in Eagle Mountain, UT!!!! Haha!!! Emily why are you getting sick so much?? I think you need more Vitamin C!!!! Elder Littlefield got some and has been having us take some! Haha! He is a funny Elder!!
Well this week we taught our investigator named Junior and when we were starting we asked if he read 2 Nephi 31 and he DID and he not only read it but he made notes in the margins and underlined things and things stood out to him and it was just AWESOME (he is prepared!)!!!! We then taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and afterwards invited him to be baptized. He accepted!!! He is going to be baptized on Feb 18th!! That's the Saturday after transfers and I hope that I will get to stay here!!! Then yesturday we had dinner at a part members house and afterwards we taught the 1st lesson (The Restoration!!) There are 4 in the family and only the dad (Corey) is a member, but he is less active. We taught his wife, Megan, and he two kids, Rylee and Tyson!!!! It was an AWESOME lesson!! Rylee is about 10 and is best friends with one of the members in the ward and Rylee wants to be baptized!! After the lesson we extended a soft baptismal invitation to Megan and yes would like to and is going to pray for a day for that to happen!! It's AWESOME!!!!!!!! We are going to have another lesson with them on Friday or Saturday and we are going to do it at a members house!!! It's going to be AWESOME!!!! This was a good week!! That's the highlights of this week!! I love everyone and hope to hear from yall soon!!!
Love,
Elder Cameron Williams
