Cameron's Letter March 26, 2012

Dear Family and Friends!!!!

My cough is doing better, I am fine in the morning but in the
afternoon and evening it comes back, well I think I should say this,
the mission doctor says that it was probably the beginning of
bronchitis (I don't know if I spelt that right) and he gave me a
subscription for Z-Pak and I took that. It will wear off on Thursday
and we will see how things are then! :)

Oh and I found out that I am being transferred to McRae,Georgia (it's
about 40 miles north west of Alma) and I am going to be with Elder
Chapman!!! :) I'm excited about that!!! :) And we will be opening
McRae so we will have some fun with that! :)

Sounds like yall had a fun busy week! And yet another week is gone!

Well this week was a slower week! The less active lady I told yall
about 2 weeks ago got evicted this week but the Church is paying for
her to stay in a hotel for a week so she has a place to stay while she
looks for a job. We helped her move into the hotel! I have begun to
love helping people move and helping people out in general! It makes
me feel good!! :) Oh! On Tuesday and Wednesday morning I went on an
exchange up in Jay and was with Elder Kirk! He is a funny Elder and he
sounds Canadian!!! Haha! He says "Don't you know" and "Eh" alot! Haha!
I'll get a picture with him tomorrow before I leave! :) This week I
have learned that I need to change my attitude for the better! I
haven't been the most excited to go out and actually start working but
once I'm out I do pretty good. So I need to more excited to do
missionary work! :) Well sorry that this is a short email but not much
else :/ But know that I love everyone that is reading this! Because if
yall are reading this then you care enough to know how I'm doing so I
am returning the favor the best way I can! I love yall! <3

Dear Family and Friends,

First off sorry my email is late, we had a hectic day! But my week has been pretty good!! I'll tell more about it in a minute. My cough has gotten a little worse, I don't remember what I told you about it but I talked to the mission doctor and he says it sounds like I might be getting broncitis I got some medicine at the Walmart pharmacy today. My cough hasn't been bad in the mornings but it gets worse in the afternoon evening times! I have taken Roba Tussin, Dayquil, Cough relief stuff from Walgreens and Halls. Not all at once but that is what I have taken for it!
I got your letter, thank you for sending it!! Sounds like eventful weeks! Yeah we kinda said the same thing but the guy didn't agree!

Well I'm gonna have to be short. This week we have helped out alot of people, and we found a man named Clay and we taught him the Restoration! He accepted a Book of Mormon and said he would give it a fair shake! We are praying for him!! And this week was good! Umm on Friday we got some training from President Jensen, the Assistants, and the Zone Leaders. I learned that I actually am not suppose to email chat, so we aren't gonna be able to do that anymore! :( And we have been asked to not recieve news on sports teams because we are supposed to keep ourselves focused on doing the Lords work and not things back home. So no more of that either. I actually have to go now, don't worry I will write more next week! I love yall soooooo much!

Love,
Elder Williams

Dear Family and Friends!!!! :)

See I told ya I wouldn't forget your Birthday Laura!! I spent at least
5-10 minutes looking for the perfect card! And I thought that one
would be the best for you!!! :)
That's awesome that Ammon is back!!! I bet he did a good job!! I will
be in the position in 10 months! It's weird to think that in one month
I will be in the single digit months til I return!! It will fly by if
I do what the Lord wants me to do!

Well I guess my email will be shorter too because I don't have much to
respond to your email and I already responded to it, so on with my
week!

This week I got an annoying cough! I still worked but I didn't like it
(the cough) coming up so much! We found a couple of potentials this
week! Some didn't show up for their appointments unfortunately and
some forgot what time we were coming! I don't know if you remember me
talking about Dennis, when I was here last. We went by and visited
with him Saturday! It was a good time and we will see him again on
Saturday, we intend to teach him when we go this time! And yesturday
we were looking for a less active member and when we went to the
address he didn't live there but another member lived there and she
lived alone with her 3 month old baby. She had been through alot of
struggles and alot of betrayal by family and friends! She told us she
has no friends any more! :( She wants to come to Church and we will do
our best to help her! We have thought of ways we could get the ward
involved and we want to talk it over with her just to make sure she is
good with it! I'm excited to work with her! :)
We also ran into alot of people who believe prophets aren't needed any
more :( which is sad! One man asked why do we need prophets to warn us
of things when we have the Holy Ghost to warn us? I didn't know quite
how to answer without saying anything that might offend him. And I
found out that the 1st Presidency Message this month is on the
Importance of Prophets!! I'm excited to read it!!

Well I think that does it for this weeks report. President Jensen has
asked us to send home everything that could distract us, so I will be
sending a package home either this week or next week!

Well that does it for now! I love yall and I am eager to hear more
about this week!

Love,
Elder Cameron Williams

Dear Family and Friends,

The baptism was awesome!! Francis was really excited for it and really surprised at how many members were excited for him!! It was awesome!!! He also got the Priesthood yesturday which was very exciting!! I am doing very well!! we got alot of rain on friday and saturday but no tornados! We were told that there was alot of that kind of weather in the mid west. I think I still have another 2 boxes of contacts so I am good for a little while, but I will let you know when they run out or are close to running out!! If you can find somebody to fix it without losing the data on the thumbdrive that would be great, but if that isn't possible that will be fine too! I don't need a new one right now, but I will let you know. I actually took everything off my other one and put it on that thumbdrive because one of the DeFuniak Elders wanted a video and the only way I could get it to work would be to put it on my other thumbdrive and give it to him so he could get the video off of it. He mailed it back to me last week and it doesn't have anything else on it, so I am good for right now!

Sounds like yall are having another usualish week! Haha!! Laura I won't forget your birthday this year!

That's great that Sister Thompson is coming back!!! Kamber is engaged?!? That's nuts!?! I go away for 2 years and everyone decides to get married!!! Who are you going to say next week that is engaged? Rachael?!?!? Haha! I will have alot of catching up to do when I come home!!!

Well this week hasn't been too eventful. Other than the baptism not much happened. On Wednesday Elder Price was feeling light headed and had an upset stomach so we didn't do much that day. We found out later that it was because he forgot to talk his meds! I think he said he has insomnia and the meds help him sleep. When we have been out and about we decided to drop by and see some less actives, and we have discovered many who moved away (sometimes at leas 2-3 years ago) and others who aren't interested anymore. It's unfortunate about all that there aren't enough men in the ward to do all the home teaching so many people don't get visits and they move away and nobody ever knows about it!

Oh on Saturday we finally got to see Pam again! It was great to see her again! We now have to work on getting her to come back to church! She moved to another house, which is actually closer to us and in the move she lost her scriptures and hasn't been coming to church! We are going to go by and see her tomorrow! And when we were leaving her house there was a car parked perpendicular with the road! It didn't look like anyone was in the car, Pam went to go see and there was an old man in the car. She said that he looked like he wa crying, but then we saw him coughing. Pam went inside to get her phone and called 911. She said the man wanted her to get in but she didn't want to, so she called and in a few minutes the ambulence showed up to check it out. Police showed up later too and they ended up taking him in the ambulence. The cops came and said that he probably had low blood sugar and found it out that he was parked the way he was parked! All that happened while it was raining! It was an interesting experience! Definately journal worthy!

Well I want yall to know how much I love you! Everyone who reads this is worthy of my love! I will talk to you next week!

Love,

Elder Cameron Williams

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

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

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
