Week 12: Manchester England: SouthPort

Happy Christmas from England!

I only have a little bit of time because the library is closing for
the weather, which I don’t understand because it has been a winter
wonderland for three days now.

It wasn't the funnest of weeks since the weather took a toll on the
work. But I hope and pray I can have diligence (this weeks Christlike attribute) through it all.

I related diligence to an athlete. We all have "bad games" every
once in a while. It is when we do all that we can that limits the
number of bad games we have. There might be days when we don’t say exactly the right things or have a few mess-ups. But as long as we are diligent in doing the Lord's work I know that we will have success in all that we do. Some good scriptures I found were D&C 75:2-5, 121:4, and Moroni 9:6. I also love the quote from Spencer W. Kimball on pg. 121 in PMG.

Call me at 7 pm England time so I can get your Skype address. And then we will figure it out from there. Sorry this is all rushed but I look forward to talking to you! Keep up the prayers!

Love,
Cameron

Week 12: Manchester Mission: SouthPort


Hello Family,

We have the choice to have Skype now for Christmas.  I'm sending this quick email to you right now so that you can respond with me your feelings and thoughts.  I will be back on at 3:30 pm England time.

We have one hour to communicate with our families.  If we use Skype, it will have to be at a member home and my companion will have to be able to see me. Which would make the conversation not private.

However, I would like to see you all.  I don’t know if that will make me homesick because I would be able to or if I would regret not using Skype if I just call.  Could you send me your Skype address?  This was just okayed by the brethren of the church, so I am assuming that it will be available for mother's day and future as well.

Again let me know on your feedback and I will send you another email 4:30 or so.  

Love you,

Cameron
