Hey everyone, so this week was good. Since I am the zone leader I was able to go back to Maceio for one day for a meeting. It was a really long but quick trip, but it was good. I was bit by a little dog this week, which was pretty cool. We were able to meet some really cool people this week and get a lot of stuff done.  I also got to go back to my last area and baptize Carla’s little sister.  She asked me to and the president gave me permission.  It was pretty cool!

Cameron: Well, I got transferred.  The president called and said he got lots of e-mails from the bishop and members requesting to let me stay but he was transferring me.  But, he said the good news was I was now zone leader.  I'm not to happy about this.  I am fine but I am very sad.

Mom: I am sad for you, but so proud of you.  Zone leader is an awesome opportunity. Carla's mom sent a message saying how wonderful you are.  I told her I already knew that.  Do you leave today?

Cameron:  yeah, tonight.

Mom:  Where is it you're going?  Who is your companion again?

Cameron:  I am in Siqueira Campos with  Elder Crowley.  He is from Colorado but his family relocated to Utah while he has been out.  It will be weird to be with an American.

Mom:  Who else are you living with?

Cameron: Elder  Boteleiro and a new missionary.

Mom: Change is never easy but is always good if it comes from the big guy.  So, maybe an attitude change Cameron L.

Cameron:  ha! ha!

Mom:  Happy Valentine's Day.  I love you!

Cameron:  Happy Valentine's Day!  I love you to mommy...  I'll have Cliseanne send pictures and then can you send them to my e-mail?

Mom: YEP!  Love you!

Saying Goodbye to my Brazilian Family

February 5th 

Cam:  Hi mom, it was a good week but Hadley's dad died.

Mom:  Oh man... Was he sick or old? Did you know him?

Cam:  No, he isn't married to Hadley's mom anymore.

Mom:  So, you liked your package?  I am glad since Vitor almost took a bullett sending it to you. I am curious to see who will be in our new bishopric.

Cam:  Ya, they loved the candy!

Mom: They are a great family and that Cliseann is so good to you.  Her daughters are darling.  It would be nice if you could stay another transfer. 

Cam:  I love you and thanks for everything.

Mom: Oh Bubba. I really miss and love you!  Stay safe and close to Heavenly Father.

SUP everyone? In February here they have carnival where everyone gets drunk and parties the whole month. So for us missionaries it is a tough month to say the least. This last week was good just working hard and dying in the Brazil summer sun.... So, funny story if you are white they think you are German here so we were in the street a drunk guy started yelling oh German and looked at me and told me he would kill me.  I started laughing. Man I love the drunks here and the funny things they do. P.S. I am still alive. Oh and we have a crazy neighbor and I am her best friend. She hugged me and kissed my forehead. She saw us in the street and chased us down to tell me hi and ask me how I was. Last night I sat in the window and talked to her about soccer ha!ha!ha! Oh Eluiza... she is like 50. ha!ha!ha!

So January has been great. We had 6 baptisms here in two weeks, which is great. It is so great to see the change in people's lives. I am loving my new area and my new companion, Elder Robeldo.

We had one more baptism which was great. His name is Emerson and he is 9 years old. I also baptized a girl that the sisters taught. She chose me after I did her interview so it was a pleasure to be part of that. Yesterday I talked in sacrament on missionary work.  It was pretty good.
