Dad

Don't worry we got to watch all of conference.  The first session an Elder and I tried to watch it in English but the Internet had problems so we missed like all of it, and the rest were in Spanish.  I understood what they were saying and everything it just go a little tiring to translate after awhile.  I fell asleep twice...but for the most part it was really good!  It inspired me to do more and to be better and that's what I'm going to do!  I felt like my brain was on over load, especially with it being in Spanish.  I can't wait till we get them in the Liahona.  It was a lot of fun to go with you to the Priesthood session and then to dinner after.  We have to do that again when I get back!  The picture I sent that showed all the lights was a picture of one of the cities in my zone called Tantoyuca.  It is really hilly, you would not like it at all.  Sister Jordan said we need to start using our man purses but I like my backpack better.  The purse is good to carry stuff in but it brakes really easy.  I've had to sew it all back together because it came undone. 

Well this week was up and down, but mostly down...we lost 3 days of work because my companion was sick and because of conference and the results weren't pretty.  Right now is really hard because we are working hard and trying to visit people but lesson after lesson just keeps falling through.  I know it won't always be like this but it's been this way for a long time and I'd really like a change.  I'm trying all I know to change it but nothing is working.  The branch is also tanking and that is not good.  The members don't feel like working.  I'll keep doing whatever I can.  I just hope it changes.  Leo is fantastic, he came to the priesthood session with us and really liked it.  He'll progress fast!  Thanks for the prayers!  I really love giving blessings to others.  I feel a lot more confident now!  I know I just have to have the faith to lay my hands on their heads and all will be well.  I know you suggested to get the home teachers and visiting teachers involved but the problem is that there aren't any in this branch.  We are struggling to have the members of the branch council complete their visits.  We can't do everything alone, we need the help of the members but they don't want to.  They are too preoccupied with their lives and they are really prejudice for a lot of people because they believe no one wants the gospel.  So we are trying to fix the members first so we can have more success.  I do the best I can and we try to figure out why they don't go but they don't like to be very clear.  We are trying to get to the heart of the problem and not scratch the surface.  A lot of times I don't feel like I have any impact and that I'm doing a terrible job.  I'd really like a knowledge that I'm doing good. 

Thank you so much Dad, I love you so much.  Be safe and enjoy your week!

Love
Elder Cammack your son
