Week 24-Manchester England-Birkenhead

Dear Family,

I hope all is going brilliant back home and that you continue to see success in all that you do. Sorry that I forgot to mention that we had transfers this week so you wouldn't be hearing from me until Wednesday. But Elder Aschraft and I will be in Birkenhead together for another five weeks. I'm really excited about being with him again. We have a lot of fun and connect with the ward very well. The ward I would say loves us. Everyone at church always wants to talk to us.

Went to the hospital last Monday and still no diagnosis. I have called to set up an appointment to get an MRI and they still haven't managed to confirm one for lack of "sent information." I should have one in the next couple of weeks but I will not find out the the results until the 18 of April. It has been quite frustrating to say the least to deal with this. I won't have a physiotherapy apppointment until the 11 of April. My knee is about the same. I can go most of the day with minimal pain but occasionaly it will hurt for a short time period. I can mangae to run and do a lot of walking but it is sore (not hurting) at the end of days. Still definitely not completely healthy still. The doctor's best guess is it is a partially torn ligament. I would best guess that is it but I am no knee expert and Im not sure which ligament it is. The health care is simply not effective is the problem. This has just gone on for way too long. I will give Presidnet a call tonight about it.


Billy (our investigator with a baptismal date on the 26 of March) is such a miracle to me because he was found and taught on the spot at a bus stop. We only taught him for 15 minutes since we had an appointment. I would have never guessed that he would be as prepared as he was considering the circumstances of our quick lesson. He as accepted and understood all of the doctrine and commitments. We asked him to give up tea on Sunday and he applied it head on immediately. He has came to church both weeks and has absolutley loved his experience there. The ward is doing a fantastic job at befriending him and wanting to include him in everything. I have a testimony of beginning our finding time with prayer and consecrating our finding time to the Lord. It truly brings forth miracles continually.

I did recieve Loretta's parcel. Tell her thank you and that I appreciate it.

Thanks for your wonderful emails. I loved your insights and all that you shared with me. I love hearing your spirtual experiences and seeing the impact it has on you. I'm glad my love for sports rubbed off Mom. It was meant to :) it is a fantastic attribute to have. Sorry this email wasn't very detailed and that I went on about my knee. But I'm really excited about Billy. Continue to pray that he follows our counsel and that we will continue to see him and help progress. Thank you all for your prayers in my behalf!

Love,
Cameron
