Still there!??!!???

Family,

Well, I survived another night of anticipation for Transfer Calls. We got called last night at about 10:30, from the APs. Elder Wilson is leaving and I am staying. I will now be here in Craig for 5 Transfers and just short of 7 Months. That's crazy! I am excited but nervous because I don't know who my new companion will be. It'll be good though whatever happens.

We are moving again today however... we are now living with the Barainca's. We had to leave the Ence house because they have a lot of family coming for about three weeks for weddings and everything. But that's fine... I don't have too much to pack anyways.

About Ember. I got a letter from her the other day and she said that she's been praying about it a lot and can't shake the feeling that we need to write each other (her and I) ..less. I was fine with that. Yes, I have seen her hair and her new earrings... and I am not a fan... in fact... I am not sure how I feel towards her anymore because about a month ago I got a letter from her and while I was reading it I got the feeling that "Maybe she isn't the one." It was nothign she said in the letter that made me feel like that... just a feeling I got. I don't know what I'll do ... I am going to be writing her less.... I haven't really written her in about three or four weeks actually... I feel kinda bad but I've been busy. So yeah I don't know what'll happen but we'll see... if it doesn't work it doesn't work...if it does... then we'll see... I've been praying a lot about it lately... but I am going to write less because I need to focus on the people I am serving.
Yeah I know about Jeff... he's going to the Ventura, CA mission and he leaves in Oct. He got his call almost exactly to the day I got mine... I got mine Aug 13 and he got his Aug 12. Crazy. I am excited for him... From hearing him... he's changed A LOT and is going to be a great missionary.

Thank you so much for the Debit card. I did get it on monday and I am greatful you went through such length to get it to me... to the point where you had to leave the house covered in salsa and a mess... I love you. Thanks.

This past sunday they re-arranged the ward boundries for Craig 1 and 2 Wards. The 2nd ward was really lacking in Priesthood holders so they took some from 1st ward.. It was a good change. But I feel bad because we took the 1st ward missionaries top four investigators. they've worked hard with them.. but it'll work out.
I am so sorry about your jumpdrive. I hope you can find a way to make it work out.

I am almost done filling up my memory card. I have pictures on it from May. So it'll be nice and full for you.

Well... I don't have much else to add... I love you all so very much and get so excited to hear from you and how you all are. I love you and miss you!

A day late, but t we got it.

Hey,

Sorry I am writing today and you didn't get a letter yesterday... the library was closed and we called the APs and they told us to do it today. So that's why I'm doing it now.

Well transfers are next week... we'll find out Mon or Tues, and I'll let you know on Wed if I am staying or not. I can see me staying or leaving. And I am not sure what'll happen.. I don't think I'd mind either. I just hope IF is stay ... I get a new companion. He's starting to really irritate me. Its hard being with someone 24 hours a day for weeks on end. But I'll survive.

So I will be here another week if you want to send me that card, thank you for doing that for me. Also tell Dad I did get his letter and tell him thank you SO much for me.

It sounds like Carson and Brady are still just dorks! But I miss them a lot. I miss you all more than I can explain. It also sounds like you all are really busy too. That's good.. I know that being busy helps from missing people more than normal.
I know that working has helped me feel better.

Your reading the New Testament? That's cool. I am reading the Book of Mormon again for the fourth time since I came out... its great. I love it. After I finish it again I will start studying the Doctrine and Covenants and the Church History. I want to know more about Joseph Smith and the revelations he recieved.

I haven't had headaches half as much as I used to if at all... so that's good.. and my ankle is basically back to normal... I can't rotate it as fully as I used to and it clicks ...when I do rotate it...but it doesn't hurt. So its fine.

I had the most amazing personal study this morning... I was reading in Preach My Gospel in chapt 10 on improving my teaching skills... and I kept thinking about the woman we'll be seeing tonight and I know exactly what we are going to talk about. I can't describe it but I know that the Holy Ghost was teaching me this morning.. it was incredible... I loved it. Sorry I can't explain it more but it was great.

Tell Bethany and Tylynn and their families that I got both of their packages and to thank them very much for everything and their prayers and their support. I would write them but I've forgotten to get stamps the past two weeks.. but I'll get some today.

I love you all very much and inform you about transfers.
Your in my prayers.
Take care!

Your son,

HE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!


Cameron, Theresa and his companion


Family,

Well, first off Theresa's baptism went great. It was an amazing experience for me and I'm sure for her also. The talks were great and the songs she chose were perfect and it was all just great. While I was in the dressing room changing I could hear the song that Theresa wanted played going... its called Go Light Your World by Chris Rice (yeah I know crazy!) but its about sharing your light with everyone you come in contacted with... its a really good song and very fitting. Anyways while I was in the dressing room changing and listening to the song coming through the door... I felt the light of Jesus Christ fill the room and my chest... and I felt ..... clean.. It was an indescribable feeling... I didn't understand why I felt clean when it was Theresa who entered into the waters of baptism and had her sins washed away. But then I realized it was her and my Savior sharing their light with me and allowing me to be clean. I know that this gospel is true and I know that it is through our Savior that we can become clean. It was an amazing experience. Here is a picutre of Theresa, E. Wilson, and I.


Also when Sister Paige called me about my debit card she said.... "Well, I just talked to your mom...." I thought "DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!" But it was alright.

With April and Ryan, She did not get full custody and the judge said her ex wasn't in contempt... so its still the same its always been. Kinda sad but that's how it works, I guess.

With transfers... I think I am leaving Craig... and I think I might want to... I want to see another part of Colorado.

That's all I can think of right now ...I love you and thank you for everythign.
