FW: Cameron's Letter

June 11 2012

Wow, I have been here for a long time! Dad talked about not complaining in his letter to me so I guess that's a sign that I shouldn't complain, but transfers passed and I am staying here for another 6 weeks! Maybe till the end of my mission. In this mission when people think that they have changes they usually take the last week really light and do whatever they feel like. I was pretty sure I was gonna go so I kind of felt the laziness coming on. I decided at the beginning of the week that being lazy the last week of the transfer is kind of prideful because it shows that you only care about your personal success instead of the success of everybody around you. So I decided to give week 6 the same amount of work as the rest of the weeks. I guess it paid off as we have seen so many more awesome things in this last week that any other week. Tons of people and investigators that are super excited to go to church and progress!

I came to find out that I'm staying here so that makes it even better that we worked hard the last week! I guess we just keep on keep in on.

 

We decided to fix everything in our house instead of moving. It’s kind of hard because we don't have tools, but it’s even harder to move all the stuff out and what not and I'm pretty sure my companion wouldn't have helped me so I just decided to forget about it. Tuesday a member came over and fixed the tube then we bought some gas and that all worked out.  The electric bill came and so we sent it off to Mexico and the church will pay it. I guess none of the missionaries knew that they had to pay for the lights, because nobody had paid for it in forever. The lights should be back on in like a week or so, and then the house will be as good as new. We are very hopeful this next change to baptize if it’s possible to baptize every week then that’s what we are going to do this next transfer. I have never seen anybody do it and I haven’t ever done it either I think it’s time.

 

Anyway that's about it for this week, nothing really happened --it was pretty normal. Thanks for everything; I’m hoping to get Dad's DVD this week and a bunch of letters from Grandma and Granddad Hendricks. I haven’t seen one of them in like 5 weeks, but that’s all good. Anyway it sounds like everything’s good, see you guys in one week.

Oh what to do for the missionaries um...give them food or something we like food at night because we eat during the day... so food at night is nice. You guys eat at like 7 so who knows what to do. Buy them cereal and milk to take home. It is such a bother to buy milk and food to eat in the morning or make or give them all the stuff to make pancakes or something. That would be sweet. Last night this family came by the house and gave us a flan! They thought I was going to leave, but what a surprise it will be when I’m still here on Sunday.
