Cam Update

Here is the email we got from Cam today. He is doing amazing and still just loving his mission so much.

Dear Family,
I am being transferred tomorrow. I'm not sure where I am going but I will let you know my address as soon as possible.

Anyways... we had a baptism last Saturday. His name was Tim Gabelson. He lives in the Grand Junction 6th ward but he was taught his in-laws ward and he went to church with them. His wife is a member and became inactive after her mission. She served in Rome and was kind of bitter when she got back because she had such a hard mission. Tim was actually an alter boy in the Catholic church. He's a pretty great guy. Anyways... Elder Englund and I were both really excited for this baptism because our investigator Trent Hill came. There is a statistic that says that 80% of all investigators that attend a baptism will end up being baptized. And even after the baptism we asked him when it was his turn. He replied "It's a surprise." Even another lady in our ward asked the same thing and he and his wife (Sister Hill, our ward's YW President) just laughed and she said "We're working on it." When we teach him he says things like.. "so, when we get sealed....." or " when I get some a quad..." I don't think he realizes what he's saying but he really is ready. Its only a matter of time...
Its too bad I won't be there to see it... But its alright.

Also another cool story.. A few weeks ago the bishop gave us this name to go and see.. His name is Brian Wright. He's been inactive for 16 years and just went through a bad divorce with his non-member wife.
So we stopped by and his wife (at the time) was there we gave her our number and todl her to give it to Brian and have him call us... She said she would.
So a few weeks went by and we forgot about it...
Then on a Monday night we were planning for the next day... I was flipping through my planner and saw his name and I had the overwhelming urge to call him... but you know me I DO NOT like calling people... especially people I don't know. So I ignored the feeling... then a few minutes later I found myself on that page again... and again... I felt I had to call him... so ... I did.
We talked for a bit and set up an appointment to see him the next night.
When we got there he told us about him leaving the church and how he's been wanting to come back but doesn't know where to start. He also told us that he has been talking on the phone with his dad about coming back. Their last conversation about that was... Monday night... His dad told him that he would try and get a hold of someone who could help him. Then they talked a bit more and hung up...
Not thirty minutes later... I called...
We are now reteaching him the lessons and he's coming back to church. It was an awesome experience. It amazed me how the Lord can even work through me... It was amazing... I hope more of these experiences happen...


Anways... that's about it... Thank you again for everything.
I love you
