Cameron:  Good morning.

Mom: Before I forget, what do you want in your birthday package?

Cameron: Ties, the horse shoe tooth floss, candy, jerky. Just stuff.  I don't need anything, I am fine.

Mom: How are your shoes holding up?

Cameron:  I think I will buy shoes here in a little bit.

Mom:  We are buying Neves a ticket a.s.a.p. He is great with the idea of working at the dairy. He said he can't be picky, he just needs to earn money.  Aunt Karen is here and her, grammy, Annie, and I went to the General Women's Conference at Grammy's ward. It was so good!

Dad and I went to Elba, ID for Sharlene's funeral.  That is grandpa's sister.  Brenda and Claire rode with us.  It was a very long day.  Colby and Candace came and Bubbs and family.  Steve and Ann, Todd, Greg & Paige, Mitch and Allison, Cheryl, Reese and Dion.  Granpa Leon said the opening prayer and Marge said the closing.  They were pretty emotional.

Annie got put in as 2nd councilor in Laurels today.  Gracie is the president.  Halle got put in Mia Maids as 1st councilor.  Addie Bingham is the president.  Dad was there for them to be set apart.

Andrew came over tonight and said I can't wait for  Cameron to be home.  I said me too!  I told him I need his help with Neves.

Betty Claybaugh, Kort's grandma died.  So sad!

I love you Cam! So much!  Thank yo for making me a proud mom!!!

Cameron: I love you!

Mom:  On facebook Valmir added he was married and lots of pictures showing him at church.

Cameron: Yeah, he got a calling.  I am way happy. Are you excited for Neves?

Mom: Excited and nervous.

Cameron:  Why nervous?

Mom:  We are going to have a new boy/man living with us that needs a job, $, to get into school, can't drive...  It's a lot!  Don't get me wrong...  I am ready and willing!


Mom: How are you? Tell me about things.  When are transfers again?  I got the new I phone 8.  Mine had swam in the toliet and was cracked.  It gave a good life.

Cameron: I am Great! Transfers are the 10th of October.

Mom: That is the first time you have told me great.  Did you see the dessert Dr. Olsen gave us? It is called mousse de maracuja!

Cameron: That was so nice of him.  It is fun to be a trainer here in Estancia, Sergipe. We are opening up the area which is a lot of work but I love it!!! This last week we had 3 baptisms which was so great. The first for meu filho!!! I am also a district leader for 4 other missionaries, 2 sisters, and the zone leaders which is great. 

Mom:  Wow!  Tell me about your gym you created to lift weights.

Cameron:  ha! It is so ghetto, but it is good.

Mom: Tell me about the people you baptized.

Cameron:  There were three.  I baptized 2 of the 3.  There is Bruno 17, Edgar 15, and Irlaina 8.  They are brothers and sister.  The mom is divorced and still deciding if she wants to be baptized.  We found them knocking on doors the first week we were here.

I love you, I have to go.

Mom:  I love you to Cam!

Cameron:  

This week was great! So, this week we were coming home and it was pouring rain. There was a kitten in the street crying so we took it home. We gave it a bath fed it. ha!ha!ha!ha!ha! the next day we let it go because we couldn't keep it and no one we could find would take it. Later in the day I saw it and a kid had it so I was happy.  

We had 3 baptisms this week which was awesome. We found them our second week in this area. They are happy and know this is the right thing to do. 

This week with it being General Conference everyone has a great opportunity to watch it and pay attention.  If you do this, it will bless your life!
