Hi Mom!

Love you!  Isn't it awesome being in another country?  Hey now our family lives in 3 countries!  Mexico, the U.S. and Germany!  How cool!:D  It's a little unreal at first.  Getting to know that there is more than just where we live.  I'm glad you love it there.  I'm super glad you got there ok.  I was thinking about you a lot but I knew you would be ok.  I knew the Lord would answer your prayers because he loves you!  I'm glad you had those experiences, Heavenly Father will always watch out for you!  That's what happened with me too.  It's all just easy.  When I got to Mexico city that's what I did is follow everyone else.  But hey Mexico's airports are a lot more confusing.  I'm glad you felt peaceful.  That's so great that all went smoothly.  I'm really happy to hear that!  Kind drivers?  That's new, Mexico is completely the opposite.  Yes the gospel and the church is the same whatever part of the world your in!  I'm really glad it was such a great experience.  Yes Meg's is great!

My week was up and down.  It was rough but I learned a lot and there is a lot I want to change!  I know all will be well and that everything is ok.  I have no doubt about that!:)  This week not too much happened but I know this week will be great!  I have to make my signature contacts.  Those are the best ones.  Well I hope I can be just like you when I grow up too.  Thanks Mom.  I'll keep on being me and doing all I can to help everyone!  Wow how cool, your really close to Bryce.  If you see him tell him hi from Mexico!  Transfers are today and my companion got transferred and my new companion is coming from Tampico.  His name is Elder Antun.  I'm excited to meet him.  I'm in a trio right now with some other missionaries who are waiting for their new companions to arrive.  Not long and we will have our family in 4 countries!  I know Jeremy will be just fine and all will be well!:D  My companion is great!  Ok I will always remember to smile!

I love you more than all the dirt and sand in Arizona!

Love you bestest!  Love you forever more!

Good Afternoon Dad!

Hope all is going well with you and that you are ok!  My week was alright.  We have transfers today and my companion got transferred and my new companion is on his way here!  Wow I had no idea Memorial Day came and went, I've lost all track of holidays.  But hey today I complete 11 months in my mission!  In  about a week and a half I'll have one year left!  It's so crazy!  I'm glad you had a day off though, relax and enjoy yourself.  I can't believe Mom is so far away, but at least she has Meghan there with her!  Wow they have already gone to France!  Thats so cool for them.  I miss the High Priest parties, the food is always so great!  Hey the old guys usually cook a lot better.

My day is going by fine.  I'm in a trio right now waiting for my companion to get here.  He is coming from an area in Tampico.  I think this week has been one of my hardest but I'm not discouraged.  I know things will get better and I'm just going to keep giving everything the best I have!  I did get my suitcase, thanks.  It works great.  It was cheaper that all the other ones too and it should last me all throughout college and more!  I'm still trying to balance out my managing my monthly budget but it's getting there.  My area is good and I like it here.  We should have some great baptisms in June!  I'm really looking forward to it.  Victor is doing great!  He wants to be baptized and he is super excited.  He has gone to church twice and he loves it!  The members here are really great at fellowshipping!  I want to work on receiving revelation more.  Just this last little while I haven't felt  like I've been getting a lot of revelation and I need to work on that.  I have a lot that I want to change in these next 6 weeks and I know I can do it!  Thanks Dad.  I'm trying to do the best I can and I will never stop giving my best!  I'm working to stay obedient and follow the rules.  I know that if I am obedient that all will be well!  I love sharing my experiences with you too!  I've really learned this week the importance of contacting by the spirit.  It's better to let the spirit guide and direct you when you contact because he knows who is ready.  I've really come to know the importance of that and I'm going to get better at doing it!  Time really flies by super fast, pretty soon I'll be home and we can spend a whole lot of time together!  Thanks for always inspiring me Dad and supporting me!  I love you lots!  Stay safe and enjoy yourself.

Love you bunches more Dad

Good Afternoon Brother Dad!:D

How hot is it getting there?  It's been pretty hot here too!  These last few days have been nice because of cloud cover and a slight breeze.  You and Mom are in my prayers!  Honestly going through customs is not hard.  I thought it would be but nah it was a breeze!  They have people there to help you so just talk to someone and share the gospel while you're a it!  Ok so this week was like the best ever!  We had a whole lot of success!!!!  We had 47 lessons this week and 21 of them we had in the morning of one day!  We went to town contacting and teaching and we are going to do it again this week.  We have a lot of investigators that are progressing really well.  Some of the people I have contacted have turned out to be golden investigators!  One day the appointments were all falling through so I decided to go contact an owner of a tire shop that I had seen and man was it the best decision ever!  He is so prepared and he talks about us to all his friends and gives us references and believes in the gospel and he loves it and what he is experiencing!  He and 3 other investigators like him came to church on Sunday all on their own!  They all loved it!  Hugo is going to be baptized in about 2 weeks and is excited.  I had a really awesome contact yesterday too.  There were two guys on bikes that we contacted but they just kept on going and I asked if we could give them some pamphlets and one of them said yes if you can catch me.  So me being me, I ran after him and caught up to him! I startled him quite a bit and made them laugh and so we talked for a bit and explained about the restoration and it was great!  The members are actually helping a lot and are receiving the investigators well!  Thanks for the advice!  10-4 pops!  I love you so much, have a great week!  Be safe, love you!

Hullo Mum!

Just felt like being British for s sec!  Hows it going?  I'm doing great here in the city of Mante where it's blazing hot and missionaries chase bikers down on foot and share the gospel with them! (true story)  I chased 2 guys on bikes down to share the gospel with them because we tried to talk to them and they just kept riding and said if I could catch them then yes and so I ran after them and caught them!  It was awesome!  All will be well!  Just follow the spirit and you will know what to do!  Heavenly Father is watching over you and all will be well!  Just think happy thoughts and trust in Him and everything will be ok!:D  Don't worry about customs haha it's really easy and not hard!  Yes our home teachers are great!  I love them too, tell them I said hi.  I bet it was really hard on Meg's and the kids when Jeremy left but I know Jeremy will be ok!

This week was really great!  We had 21 lessons in one day and found 13 new investigators!  We are working really hard and are doing great here!  Hugo will be baptized in about 2 weeks and we have some others that will be baptized in June as well!  Yeah for Bryce glad he is headed to Hungary!  I would love a soccer jersey from the national team for Germany for the world cup.  Love you Mom!

Love you more than all the miles that will separate us while you are in Germany! and many more!  About 80 times around the world!!

Love you too awesome Mom!

I'm really glad your weekend was so great!  Mine was awesome too!  I got to talk to you and Dad!  My companion is really awesome.  I'm so glad we got to Skype, but the time flew by way to fast!  But before you know it I'll be talking to you again and then I'll only have 6 months left!  It really does help me to know how loved I am by you all!  Thank you so much for continually telling me!  Glad Dad is going to give you a blessing before you go to Germany it will help you a lot.  Customs is easy don't worry!  Oh and when the customs officer asks you if you have anything to declare tell him yes!  That the true Church of Jesus Christ has been restored once again to the earth in it's full glory and that you would like to share that message with him!:)  I'm really glad to hear you are taking good care of yourself!  Make sure Dad takes care of himself too.  You will have a great time with all the kids!  Maybe if you want you can all make a video for me while the kids are there and send it to me by email.  You just have to convert it to an mp4 format, ask Jeremy how.  I'll be home before you know it!  It will be so fun to use Spanish when I get home!  My week was great!  I had a cool experience with the spirit!  I perceived he thoughts of someone else!  We were teaching an investigator and we were talking about death and he wasn't understanding it very well but suddenly the thought came to my mind to ask him if he thought death was the end of existence so I did and he told me ya, that's what I was actually thinking!  So I took that and helped him to realize that death is just a step and not the end.  It was awesome!  I'm glad I look good and can speak Spanish well!  Both good selling points for my future wife haha:)  I'll do all I can to always be excited!  Yes Mom the members feed us well and I'm feeding myself well in the mornings and at night too.  I just bought stuff for hamburgers!  I love you more than all the waffles in Belgium!

love you for eternity and the eternity to come!

Hey Dad!

I love you!   Thanks for getting coins for me it helps me to remember who I am!  I was so glad I got to see and talk to you too!  I was just a little sad that I didn't get to talk to you especially for a little bit longer, you looked a little sad, are you doing ok?  How is everything?  I love you!  I did read my email but my district leader told me that we all had to call on Saturday so that's why I told you like I did.  It wasn't until the day before that I found out it wasn't like that.  Sorry!  Next time I will be sure to check good!  But the important thing is that we talked!  I have a present to send you for your birthday!  I just need to know how to go about sending a package home!  I'm going to ask some of the American Elders here how best to do it.  My companion is great, he has really helped me a lot!  It was really great to see and hear you too Dad!  I can't wait to spend a lot of time with you when I get home!  Thanks I've been working on my Spanish!  The Lord has really blessed me with the gift of tongues, or at least the gift of learning tongues!  Make sure to take good care of yourself.  I want to spend a lot of time with you when I get back!  Start walking a little if you can or even swimming would be good and it won't be hard on your back.  Eat healthy too!  Hey I had a great experience with the spirit this week!  I perceived someone elses thoughts!  We were teaching an investigator and we were talking about death but he wasn't understanding it clearly so the thought came to mind to ask him if he believed death was the end of existence, so I did and he told me with a surprised look, ya that's actually what I was thinking.  So I took that and taught him really well about how it's only a step!  It was great!  I love you too Dad!  Be safe!  See ya soon!  I love you so much Dad and I miss you tons!  It was so great to see and talk to you again!  Before you know it we will talk again and then I will only have 6 months left!  I really want to talk to you on Father's Day but unfortunately they don't let us...but I do have a gift for you!  Love you love you love you!!!!

Hola madre! 

I'm fan flippin tastic!!!! :D  I hope all is well for you!  This week was a lot harder but it's ok, things will get better:D  I'm glad you liked the video, I was coordinating with Brother Tanner and I sent him the video last week!  Good ol Mom, glad you loved it!  Glad everyone else loved it too!  I like being funny!  Your very welcome!  I'm happy to be here serving and I know I'm doing what is right!  Yes Patriarch Dupriest is really great, I love him!  I remember when he gave me my blessing as if it were yesterday!  That blessing has gotten me through so many hard times and I'm so grateful for it!  Thanks so much for telling him that!  I'm really glad he remembers me.  I will always remember how he told me that I am one special child of our Heavenly Father, that meant so much to me.  Success I'm you tube famous.  Now I can check that off my bucket list.  I'm glad they all watched it.  I took it from my new house here in Mante!  We are going to have a baptism in about 2 weeks!  We have a Golden investigator who is 20 years old and he is progressing so well!  He came to church yesterday all dressed up in a white shirt and tie too!  I'm so excited for him!  His name is Hugo Salazar.  Be sure to keep his name in the temple!  Yes I did get batteries and now I will start sending pictures.  Yes I got my package, thanks so much.  We really liked it!  It didn't last long haha.  About Mother's Day, everyone in the mission has to call on Saturday because that's when Mother's Day is here.  So I will be calling on Saturday at 1 in the afternoon my time.  I don't know if that's 12 or 11 your time, but figure it out to be sure.  We really need to step up the work to match our Heavenly Father's.  The work is going by fast!  In one month in all of Mexico the missionaries recently found over 12,000 new investigators and in one week in March all of Mexico baptized over 800 people!  You will still get an email on Monday haha no worries!  Thanks a bunch Mom!  Have a fan flippin tastic week and smile at everyone!  Love ya!  Wow that is a lot of love!

Love you as much as all the potatoes in Idaho! (which are a lot healthier for you than tea in China)
Love you best

Howdy Pops!  Love ya!

Ya I saw all of you too! Well at least my video did haha:)  I'm glad you liked it!  I thought it would be a great surprise!  Kind of funny to keep you wondering if I was in there or not haha.  Success I made Dad cry!  I can now check that off my bucket list too!  I didn't tell my mission president, but I'm sure it's ok.  I just made it and sent it.  There really is a lot of missionaries out from our stake!  The entire church has really been zeroing in on missionary work!  The second coming is a lot closer than we think.  We have to take this gospel to everyone!  President Jordan told me in interviews that he put me with my companion because we are both passionate and because he believes I'm compassionate.  My companion has gone through some really hard things recently and I believe President has put me with him to help him.  I have learned so much from being with my companion.  The work here is going a little slow right now.  Honestly the contacting is the most difficult for me right now.  I'm trying but it's really hard.  We still try to talk to the rich people but they wouldn't hear us.  They think they have everything they need.  Yep I'm taking good care of myself!  No black water for me!  I sure hope I'm helping.  Lately I've felt like I'm not very good but I'm trying to do my best.  Yep all is well with my companion.  I love you Dad!  I miss you lots!  Thank you for writing me and always encouraging me and helping me to do what is right!  Be safe and have a great week!  I love you!

Hola mi fatastica madre!  te amo!

My week was great!  We found 12 new investigators!  My companion and I are great!  Things are going fantastic and we are having a whole lot of success!  Elder Martinez and I are really great friends and he is such a great companion and now we don't have any problems at all!  The investigators are doing great, we just need more members lol.  Thanks so much for sharing that story with me!  I'll be sure to act on every prompting I receive!  One thing I learned this last week is that we really don't know exactly what kind of a situation someone is in.  I really learned that the best thing to do is to love everyone.  I have a deeper understanding now for what the Savior meant by don't judge and treat others the way you want to be treated.  I love our memories too!  We'll make a lot more when I get home.  Thanks so much Mom! Love you

Love you more than the numbers of worlds Heavenly Father has created! :D

Hey Dad!

How's it going?  Here it's pretty good!  My companion and I are getting along great now!  We are really finding a lot of new investigators!  We found 12 this last week.  We have had a lot of storms here this last week.  Time really does fly by!  We have had some ridiculously huge thunder here!  I shouldn't have any trouble finding a new suitcase and it doesn't bother me not to have a pillow.  It's pretty normal here to have raw sewage and they don't really do anything about it unfortunately.  But the people here are super nice!  It's actually really funny.  There are parts of my area that are super rich and the streets are all nice and paved and the houses are all super big and everything but I don't feel at home in those parts.  It's weird.  I feel more at home in the parts where it's poorer and more humble.  It's really interesting.  Haha I'll make sure to stay away from the sewage!  No we don't have a doctor in the ward I don't think, but it's ok.  Contacts are going great!  We are talking with everyone!  We don't have members who can accompany us because there are problems between the members.  The bishop is great and the other leaders too!  They are all good!  We had stake conference on Sunday and President and Sister Jordan were there and spoke. 
Thanks so much Dad!  I love you lots!

Hola Madre!  Te amo!  Feliz Pascua!

Well my week was definitely interesting!  My new companion is interesting as well.  President Jordan put me as Senior companion.  My companion is a little hard to get along with but we are working through it.  We've had a couple of disputes but we worked them out.  The area here is pure city but it's more on the outskirts of the city.  It's really cool though!  Finally I'm in an area with a supermarket!  I'm back in civilization!  Elder Martinez has been out for over a year.  We didn't do anything for Easter.  I don't think they celebrate that here.  It's really a huge change but it's a good area.  I love it here though!  I'm finally back in a ward and man it feels really weird to be in a ward again.  I taught priesthood on Sunday and it was super weird.  Fruit, vegetables and meat are cheap here.  The investigators are good, 2 of them came to church!  It was really hard leaving my last area but I am glad to be here.  I'm glad you think I'm handsome, actually lots of people here think I'm very handsome.  It's really funny!  Don't worry Mom I'm always very friendly and nice to everyone I talk to.  Thanks so much Mom!  I love you lots!  I'm always nice to old ladies!  Yep I am pretty cute:)  Love you!

Love you to the sun and back!!!

Buenos dias padre Cammack :) te amo!

I got my glasses fixed and the lady did it for free!  Thanks for putting the money there but I should only need to use a little bit for my suitcase.  Thank you so much for taking care of me!  love you!  My new area is actually pretty good too I just need a pillow.  A river runs through our area and we cross it a lot.  It actually looks a lot like Arizona or at least the climate does.  But there is a lot of black water and sewage and it doesn't smell the best.  My last area was in Vera Cruz and that was closer to the bottom of my mission.  Where I am now is close to one side.  Contacts are great!  We actually contact a lot here and we are going to do more!  It's actually really fun talking with people and getting to know them!  I'm in a ward now which is really weird to be in after 6 months in a branch.  But it's pretty good here.  I wouldn't necessarily say that it's strong here but it's not bad.  It is a little interesting.  We don't have a bishop in this ward.  We have an assigned bishop which really isn't a bishop.  The thing is that we don't have enough faithful tithe payers or a lot of sacerdocio so we are trying to work with it.  My companion has been out for over a year.  It is a little hard to get along with my companion but we are making it work.  He has been in this area for 1 change or 6 weeks.  Satan is working hard here.  This is the first area that people have had a lot of questions for us and they have come at us with the bible and many things to say that we are wrong but the awesome thing is that they could never confound us.  Whenever they would say something like that to us immediately I knew what to say to them and how to respond and I caught them in their lies and how what they were telling us isn't true.  I used the scriptures too to show them but they just kept on saying things that didn't make sense and were wrong.  It was really cool!  The gospel can't be confounded!  The members feed us well and they have jobs here like we do in the states.  We have air conditioning and hot water!  Love Ya!
