So today is September 28, 2016 which is the last P-day Cameron will have at the MTC in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  I have such mixed emotions.  I'm ready for him to get out and serve but at the same time he was safe there.  He had made friends, liked the beds, was eating, and I guess I am a little nervous what the next 22 1/2 months have in store for him.  He's ready to get out of the classroom and see the sun.  I was able to e-mail Cameron back and forth for a little bit this morning.  Jason, Annie, and Halle all were able to also.  It is nice to come home after school and compare letters.  Every conversation adds just a little bit more to wondering minds that want to know! Today's e-mail time wasn't nearly as long as last week's time.  As we talked and compared as a family, I have paraphrased what Cameron shared.

He wanted to know how everyone was and how things were at home. He said that everything there was good and nothing really different. He said he was doing good and mentioned how crazy that it was because it was his last P-day at the MTC. He is a little nervous to get out of the MTC but not bad.  He just keeps saying, "I am good". I guess good is good. Right? He doesn't get his travel information until Saturday and that stinks for him and us... Halle shared with him how she was with Cooper right at that moment for Hope Squad and he of course said, "tell my favorite Red head hello".  Annie had Jason come to get her because she was struggling with her breathing and allergies and Cameron expressed love and concern that she could feel from Sao Paulo.  He loves them both very much!

Cameron's words: I've become really close to Elder Morrow and Elder Adamson.  There is a Brazilian that has a sister going to Nicole's mission.  I told Nicole about her.  My favorite thing about the MTC is basketball.  I am excited to be outside and see the sun. That's why basketball is my favorite thing here.  I love to be able to go outside and move around.

Mom and Dad I got your letters today.  It was a good day.  I had splits with Elder Greco.  He is way cool, he plays basketball with us everyday. The beds are good actually.  There is one big bathroom on my floor and my side.  So to tell you a little about the Elders.  Elder Davis ran cross country in Flagstaff, AZ,  Elder Adamson played basketball at Southern Virginia University, Elder Camejo wrestled at Copper Canyon, Elder Hernandez played baseball at Provo high, Elder Evans wrestled in Mesa at his high school and Elder Thiriot is from Virginia.  There ya go!  Thank you and love you!!

Today was good!  We did a 3 on 3 tournament. Me, Elder Adamson, and a Brazilian were on a team. We won every game.  Elder Adamson is way good he played at Southern Virginia University.  Only 11 days left, which is crazy.  Tomorrow is prostalyting!  I am way excited!  Both investigators are getting baptized tomorrow so its way good!  Love You!

Today we gave all 6 of our Book of Mormons out in 30 minutes.  So, that was so cool!  Also, our investigators both got baptized today so that is cool!  Love You!!

Today was good,  Sundays always are!!  I never had to talk in the MTC so I made it through because next week is General Conference. We made Elder  Adamson gain 10 lbs. to break 200 lbs.  He did it!  He weighed 200.5 lbs.  Love You!

Got a letter from Dad today and it was great.! Sorry that I don't send very much mail. It is hard to send them in Sao Paulo.  The ones I sent took an hour and maybe even a little longer to send.  So I just scan them here until I get out in the field.  I started the last week of being in the MTC today and it was good!  Just the same as always!  There is this kid from Draper who leaves tomorrow and we have grown to be pretty good friends.  He played with Darius in basketball.  I hope Dad has fun hunting and sends a lot of pictures! Love You!!
