My Sweet Ever Happy Mother!

I have a new companion and everything is great and fine!  My new companions name is Elder Benitez.  He is awesome!

President talked to me last Friday and told me he was "proud as heck" of me and my obedience and what I was doing.  He told me I was doing great!  So no worries Mom all is well!  Sometimes it's hard to see the changes in myself but I'm glad you recognize them!  I don't really like having weaknesses honestly but I see the importance of them and I know it's all part of the plan.  It's so cool you got to take Bryce to the MTC.  Bryce is always hungry, he will love the all you can eat and chocolate milk at the MTC. So glad we are friends,  we are pretty much brothers.  After the first few days all the excitement dies down a little until you are about to leave for your mission, then it skyrockets!  I can't wait to see Bryce again!  When I get home I can go and Skype with his family and talk to him. 

All those experiences you had this last week sounds like it unleashed a tsunami of tears lol!  Sorry you were sick on your Birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!  I have a surprise for you that I'm going to send home but I can't tell you, you have to wait and see but I'm sure you'll love it and cry some more too haha:D 

I can't believe Jeremy is being deployed so soon.  That means he will get home just a little bit before I do!  Maybe if he gets delayed a bit we can be returned missionaries together!  I'll just connect my flight to his return flight and we can get off the plane together like return missionary brothers!

Wow that sounds really weird hearing you call me a man haha.  I still feel like a kid.  Thank you so much Mom for your email!  I love you tons, if I need anything I'll let you know!  Love You

Love forever

I have a new companion his name is Elder Benitez.  We are doing great!!!

So glad you got to take Bryce to the MTC!  He will really like the MTC, it's all you can eat and never ending chocolate milk. 

I've learned a lot of lessons about obedience in these last few weeks.  You are my father and you are entitled to receive revelation for me.  Thank you for all your council, I will do as you said.  I will put aside all other things and serve the best I can.  I love you so much Dad and miss you tons!  I can't wait until the day we can sit and talk, I have a lot to fill you guys in on.  If I need anything I will let you know, thank you so much!

Love you for Eternity

I love you Mom!

This week was a little on the rough side but it was ok.  This is a new week now:D  Your welcome for the pictures.  I'll send more, glad everyone liked them.  When President Johnson of the Seventy was here he was telling us a fable about 2 cats to teach us the importance of being bilingual and one was super skinny and one was super fat.  For the skinny cat he asked who was the skinniest in the room and everyone pointed at me and so he used me for the example haha.  It was really funny!  What's really funny here is that the people can't believe my age.  Everyone thinks I'm in my late twenties and a couple have thought I was like 30 haha.  They are in shock when I tell them I'm only 19.  Thanks for taking the names to the temple.  I'm glad to see that Grandma didn't suffer a heart attack when  you and Dad just showed up without telling her.  She looks great!  It's so awesome you get to pick Bryce up and take him to the MTC.  I wish I could be there!  I'm really glad he is ready !

The investigators are good it's just a question of getting them to come to church.  We are still working on that one.  Don't worry Mom I don't want to live here but I think it would be nice to visit again.  Only a couple more months and we get to talk face to face.  I'm really excited for conference too!  I'm glad you are having missionary opportunities!  Keep it up!  Yes you are definitely loved very much and don't forget it!  Thank you for all your prayers, they really do help!  My cloths are fine and so am I!  One thing I have noticed is that having a companion is really preparing me for having a wife haha.  Normally you wouldn't think that it could prepare you for that but it honestly does.  I'm really learning a lot about how to work with someone else and the importance of communication.  Thanks for everything Mom!  I love you

Love you forever more

Good evening Dad!

Love you Dad!  One of the new Elders here in my district is from Mesa Arizona and he went to Red Mountain High School.  His name is Elder Porter.  I am so excited you and mom get to pick Bryce up and take him to the MTC.  Tell him the nervousness goes away after the first day.

About all the referrals, we haven't been able to visit them because the member who gave them to us hasn't had time so we are hoping to contact about 16 of them this week.  I was really happy that we got that many and I sure hope that all of them will be interested!  No I'm pretty sure it's not a record, maybe in our area but another area had like 150 references in one day. 

Right now I'm trying to be obedient.  I'm still struggling a little with getting up on time but I'm going to change that!  I've had some difficulties with my companion too but we are trying to work through it.  I'm trying to be patient and work through it.  I'm sure that all will be well:D  This last week we had three days where we had absolutely nothing and it was really hard but I'm ready for a new week!  Thank you for the advice!  Well as of right now the obstacle to overcome is getting them to go to church.  Until they do that they can't be baptized so we are working to get over this hurtle first.  I'm really glad to have this experience.  Thank you for all your help Dad and for guiding me!  You really are the best Dad in the world!  I love you so much!

Love you more!

March 10, 2014 Love our Missionary



March 10, 2014

My extremely sweet and ever happy Mom!

Yes having 50 contacts is a lot of work but we are happy to have it!  They are really great people and I'm glad I'm here.  My week was good.  We didn't have service on our phone for the entire week so we had to use the church phone to call the mission home each night but that was fun.  We talked to president a  lot.  Our investigators are good!  They are progressing well!  This last Sunday we had 10 less actives in church!  We are having a lot of success with less actives too!  We've reactivated some people that haven't gone to church for years!  It's so cool!  They just need friends. 

I know you had a hard day on Saturday because it was the day Kels passed away.  Mom she isn't gone, she is still here.  The spirit world is here on the earth!  You just can't see her.  I know it's hard to be away from her but when it's time you will see her again!:)  Have joy in the knowledge that we are an eternal family and we can be together forever and don't let sadness get in the way of that!  It's the little things like reading our scriptures and praying and going to church that really matter. 
Love You!

Love
Your Elder Cammack son person:)

Hey Dad!  te amo!

 I think I'm in tune a lot more than I realize I just need to act more on the thoughts that come to my mind.  I know if I can be in tune that I will be happy and have success!  Well sometimes I don't feel very in tune.  Sometimes I feel far from that and like Heavenly Father isn't listening to me or answering my prayers.  But I know that's not true.  I believe he is listening and I just need to wait for the answer sometimes.  That's another thing I think sometimes I'm really anxious for things to happen now and I want it to just all happen but that's not how God works.  He has a time for everything and I need to understand that better and turn my focus more outward than inward.  This mission isn't about me, it's about others and their salvation and my Father in Heaven.

I think this mission is really helping me prepare for the future.  Whatever work Heavenly Father has for me to do I will do it!  I can't wait to go through the Gilbert temple with you.  I want to do a session you officiate!  Our investigators are great and progressing well!  We should have some more baptisms in the middle of April.  We have had really good lessons with them!  I hope the people really love me but more than that I hope they feel the spirit because he helps in the conversion the most!  The Branch President and one of his counselors want me to come live in Tempoal after my mission but I don't think so haha. They want me to finish my mission here too.  Thanks Dad, I love you so much!  I'm doing great and will continue to do so! 

Love
