Week 65

Hey everyone!

This week was a great week! We have been busy busy and loving every minute of it! Sister Doxey loves to tract so we have been doing a lot of that! And we have been meeting a lot of really cool people that way too! 

We are teaching Rochelle and the Brown family still! And things seem to be going great for them! They are all planning on being baptized in December! So keep them in your prayers! They are some amazing people! We are also still teaching a lady named Donna- I don't know if I mentioned last week about how she was working on her prayers, but she gets so excited every time she prays. It reminds me every time how special it that we can say prayers and have the communication with our father in heaven! We are so loved by him!

So lately we have been going over to the Canterberry's house- a sure cool family in our ward- to read from the Book of Mormon with them. We are doing the 21 day challenge with them. Well last night Sister Canterberry pulled us aside after we read and she told us how grateful she was that we chose that family to read with them because she has already started to see how much happier they have been. And how they get excited to read as a family! 

Guys the Book of Mormon is so cool!!!! 

It seriously changes lives. Even those who are already members. So READ THE BOOK!!!!! Really test it out. Give it a try.. do it!!!!

I'm am also so excited for this week! I get to see the Williams!! And talk to Bill and Kathy!! AND meet one of Sister Doxey's recent converts! It will be a great time! I am looking forward to this week.

Also transfers are next week so stay tuned to see if I stay of if I go!! (Pray I stay) 

Much love!! Make good choices!!

Week 63

Hello! 

This week was a very busy week! We were able to be out finding a lot this week and we were able to meet some stellar people who are so open to the gospel! What a blessing! Rochelle is still doing awesome! She was able to go to a baptism this week and see the glow that people have when they choose to follow the example of Christ. Whoa! It was amazing! She is all excited for her upcoming baptism as well! It's not for another month but she is ready and excited! She is also a bomb missionary already! She is bringing all of her friends to church and trying to help them understand the restoration of the gospel its pretty neat!

Something crazy that happened this week! Well actually a lot of crazy things happen every week! But 2 crazy things! So 1- it dropped like 30' over night! Now its cold! And there isn't even snow! But then the 2nd crazy thing! So we were trying former investigators and knocked on a door and the lady was like uh she doesn't live here but you can come back and teach me and my sons about God. So we went back, invited them to church, they came AND they have read half of fist Nephi on their own! #MIRACLES! 

I was also readying this week in Ether about the Brother of Jared and his faith. Holy his faith was amazing! I was also reading Elder Holland's conference talk, Be ye therefore perfect- eventually and i was just thinking about my faith and how i can continually work on it and build it. and while i was reading the talk i realized that its okay that its not perfect but as long as i am trying to improve and be better each day things will work out. And that's how it is! As we work each day to be better and improve ourselves that's enough. And how cool is that! We have the Atonement of Jesus Christ to help us when we fall short! Super cool! 

I can't believe it's already time for the Holidays! Happy Halloween! And Happy Birthday Lang! 

Have a great week! And don't forget to read the scriptures! 

Oh one more thing! We talked about the Living Christ in church yesterday, and how we were invited to study it and in the Ensign there are nifty little helpers to help families study and learn it! I highly suggest doing that.. and a question they asked us to ponder yesterday that I'll ask you- Who is Jesus Christ to you?

Love you!

Love,

Sister DeCamp​

Week 62

Hey everyone!

This week has been soo good! We have been working really hard to build our teaching pool! And we are definitely seeing the Lord's hand in our work and our efforts! It's been amazing!

So yesterday we had this CRAZY rainstorm! Like super crazy and we were under tornado warning and flash flood warning. But we decided that we should go see one of our families who is investigating the church and see if they were okay and still coming to church. Should we have traveled in that weather? Probably not? Did we see them and get them to church? Yes we did! And it was such a spiritual experience. the numbers were few because of the crazy weather but the spirit was so strong! And Donna and her little boy LOVED it all! It was pretty cool because they had to do the sacrament prayer a couple of times and I was able to explain to Donna why and how sacred the sacrament is. And then as I was doing that Elder Christofferson's talk in conference pooped into my head about how each piece of bread is unique like all of us. Every single person is unique and that is so true. So when I was able to take the sacrament it was a special moment for me. Because of all the crazy weather and conferences I haven't been able to take the sacrament in about 4 weeks... it's amazing how much partaking of the sacrament can help you and refresh you! I am SO grateful for the sacrament!! 

We also were able to set Donna and her boys with a baptismal date to work toward! They are so excited about the gospel. It's amazing to see how the gospel can truly effect someones life! And how good it is! This gospel is so amazing! Sister Doxey and I have been talking a lot about points of the gospel, and one that has stood out to me a lot is repentance. Because it's true - through grace we are saved, AFTER all we can do! And something we can do is to repent! Repentance isn't a scary thing, it's simply making a change in your life to help you get closer to God. And every time we do repent it is so worth it! It's the little things that can help us. So one little thing can be to just read from the Book of Mormon more, or have more sincere prayers. It's by small and simple things are great things brought to pass! What little thing can you work on this week?

Have a stellar week!!!

Week 61

Hey everyone!

I am now in Long Beach Mississippi! It's the coolest! I am loving it! I am less than 2 miles from the ocean..so lets hope another hurricane doesn't come! My new companion is Sister Doxey! She is a sweetheart and hitting her 11 month mark TODAY! So that's exciting! She is a stellar missionary and a super hard worker! That girl isn't giving me anytime to breathe! It's great! We have a really awesome investigator name Rochelle! She is planning on getting baptized on November 4th! We are so excited for her about that! When I first met her I thought she was already a member! She is bringing the gospel to everyone she meets! It's been a blast getting to know her this week! I'm super looking forward to being able to work with her more!

Something SUPER AWESOME that happened this week! They reorganized the Slidell Louisiana Stake and so ELDER CHRISTOFFERSON of the Quorum of the 12 was here! The spirit he brought into the conference was incredible! Every single person the spoke talked about the Book of Mormon and the strength that it gives us. It's so true! The Book of Mormon is powerful and it can help us in so many ways. I have been able to strengthen my testimony and grow closer to my Savior and Father in Heaven by reading it! 

So I have been studying a few of teh recent conference talks this past week and one really stood out to me. It's called Do we Trust Him? Hard is Good- And I love this talk! Do we trust the Lord? Because he trusts us! And hard times and trials are a blessing. Sometimes we don't see it that way, I know that I definitely don't all the time. But those hard times help us and can make us better if we let them. One thing about this that i loved was that it said that hard was the constant. and if you think about it it really is, things will always be hard for us or can be hard for us. But the variable is how we react to that hard! hard is part of the plan. We just chose how we react to hard! Something good to ponder on this week! How will you react to hard?

Well I hope that you all have a great week! And don't forget to do the simple things like pray and read your scriptures. The simple things are what help us overcome out weaknesses! 

Love you!

Week 59

Well Hello There!

This week was a great week! We have started teaching a guy named Antonio! But the cool  thing about him is that we are also teaching him english and he is teaching us random spanish words. It's pretty cool how the spirit works though! I know that there is literally no way I could be teaching him english and from the gospel if I didn't have the spirit with me. He called us Chucho colochos and then showed us what he meant... he showed us a picture of a curly haired dog..and could not stop laughing. so now that is what we call each other! Shoutout to Antonio! 

Also how cool was General Conference this weekend!! We were lucky to be able to watch it with some fun members. And we also watched it at the church! It was a great conference! I honestly cannot even tell you what my favorite talk was because I loved all of them! Every single one stood out to me in a different way or answered a question I had. So I just loved all of them! I highly suggest watching, rewatching, reading, studying, and pondering all of the talks. And also Read and STUDY the Book of Mormon. I have learned that there really is a difference in reading and studying. And studying is way better! 

I hope you all have a stellar week! Make good choices. Write me a letter (thats a really good choice)

Also Sister Abril came back to the mission and I got to see her!

And I just love the Williams family! 

Week 56

HEY EVERYONE!! 

- Last Monday was like the zombie apocalypse in Walmart, you guys probably are more informed than I am because...you know...#NoInternetLife... but Hurricane Irma is hitting Florida and it's not going to hit us (hopefully) but years ago that's what they said about Hurricane Katrina and it still hit here-so everyone is paranoid about the storms all around us haha. But it's all good here!! Praying for those in Texas and Florida though!!

- I GOT A SOUTHERN GOSPEL MIXTAPE! We were talking to this kid who works in the grocery store in Sumrall, and he told us he sang, so we went to his car and he played his mix tape and sang for us, then gave us a copy of it haha I'm so stoked about it!

- This week we knocked on this lady's door and she wasn't interested, so I asked for referrals around her neighborhood, and she goes, "I don't think people like it when you knock on their doors.." (and Sis. hunt just stared at her..lol we were so done) and she's like "Don't you guys run into that?" and I said, "NOPE! People are actually very nice when we knock on their doors!" And she was caught so off guard, and she was just all like, "OH. Carry on then." and shut the door haha. Tracting is the best....

- We also got dropped by 3 of our investigators which is really frustrating and discouraging, but GUESS WHAT!? Terry is getting baptized next week!! So we are still blessed and very thankful that we can physically see our work efforts going forth and are able to see changes people are making in their lives because they come to know the truthfulness of this gospel!!

Seriously, this is the true church. I would NOT be here on a mission for 18 months in the middle of no-where Mississippi if I didn't want to share the truth with others who don't know about it. It's hard, but so rewarding. I LOVE the people here in Mississippi, and the weather is getting cooler too! Hopefully it stays that way!! Because we love being outside right now! Sis.Hunt and I are doing awesome!! I am so grateful for her and we never want to get transferred and taken away from each other haha. She makes missionary life the best.

p.s: We proselyte at football games in our town on the weekends. No, we are not on dates with other missionaries lol.. that's dumb. Passing out Book of Mormons at a football games is where it's at though!! @ MJMmissionaries

Love you all! Talk to you next Monday!!

Week 52

Hey y'all!

So this week seemed to FLY by! But it was really good! We had Zone conference on  Tuesday and It was great to see everyone and see President! This transfer the theme has been princesses and my princess is Tiana... I don't look anything like her sadly.. BUT they say it was based on personality not looks.. haha It was pretty cool actually. And I love that movie so it all worked out for me (; 

Wednesday was kind of a strange day. Everything seemed to not be working out. But our investigator called and wanted to take us out to lunch so that was awesome ! We went to 5guys and set him with a date! Of september 9! So be praying for him y'all! And after that we decided to go to Lifeway Christian store- and met a a lady who was so interested in the gospel and had so many questions- seems like we were in the right place at the right time! And then we went to the church for youth and played some volleyball! Wednesday night ball is always a good time!

Highlight of the week! We were the only set of sisters that something didnt happen to car wise! So that was a blessing!!

Y'all the gospel is true! Keep being happy and make good choices!! 

much love,

Sister D

Week 51

Hey y'all!

Sumrall Mississippi is so cool! It's not very big but it's got a lot going on! We are teaching a guy named Terry who is planning on getting baptized at the end of the month as well as a lady named Rhonda! They are really cool! 

We do service at an old folks home and while we were there a lady came and talked to us and told us to come pick fruit in her backyard. So we went and oh my goodness! She had VINES of grapes and muscadines ! They are the best fruits I think I have ever eaten! And the lady was really nice and asked us about our missions! 

This week we went out in a trio with Sister John to help work her area since Sister Larsen has been pretty sick and we were out tracting and we got chased by a dog! So obviously we ran and we were on a porch and the dog came and cornered us( keep in mind this dog looked possessed!) and so being the prepared missionary that I am, I had some mace with me- And I sprayed the dog! And it ran away.. also there was a little girl in the doorway who was just as scared as us but had a door to hide behind, we tried to tell the little girl that it was dog repelant.. thats kind of hard to explain... anyway so we started walking down the road again and the dog came back!! So I help it up and the dog ran away... but we still ended up running back to our car to get away from the creepy thing! There was also the YSA conference this weekend- well it was held at our church and we had to run by there well we might have stopped by the kitchen and found a TON of leftovers... And had a REALLY delightful dinner (:

Yesterday we were out tracting and trying potentials and we were in the car because we got a phone call and then all of the sudden a lady we know came flying up and told us that we needed to leave because there was a HUGE seen right on the other side of where we were parked and told us that guns were pulled and that we needed to get out so we didn't get shot.. ha

This week was really busy and adventurous! Stay tuned to hear what goes down next week!!

Love y'all! Count your blessings! (: You have more than you think!

Week 45

Hey y'all!

I hope y'alls week was as great as mine was!

We have 2 people getting baptized on July 2nd! LaTesha and her son Kaden! We are so pumped for them! We have had some of the best lessons with them and we had 5 investigators come to church!! It was kind of a big deal! We are so happy with the progress that is happening in our zone! 

We also had exchanges on Friday! It was great! I sure do love my STLs! I was able to go with Sister John. I love that girl! We are literally the same person. It was kind of crazy to figure out everything. But she is amazing and a great leader! We were able to work in the Purvis ward for a while.  -Side story we got pizza that night from a member but we were out and about so we just had them drop it off at the church and they put it up high so ants wouldn't get in it. Well we decided to sit on the sidewalk and eat and within like 5 minutes there were ants flocking to us. It was crazy. So i'm glad that the member put it up high. Lessons learned in the south.. haha 

So that night after exchanges we went to drive home and there was this insane storm! Like you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you! I'll attach a video for y'all! 

We also had interviews this week. I am so grateful for President Olson, he is such an inspired man. We had a good talk! He is so funny too. 

So crazy story of the week! The zone leaders found squirrels in the church a few days ago and chased them and got them out. Thought they got them all. Well on Sunday there was a very unfriendly smell in the church building. We were talking after church to some members and one lifted up the chair in the foyer and there was a dead squirrel! It was so gross and also funny... but that;s my story for the week!! 

I hope y'all have a blessed week! 

Remember that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and has been restored to this earth. And God answers our prayers. They may not be in the way that we think, but he does. And he loves us. Every single one of us. No matter what. A really great quote I read this weeks says "Every day your life’s course is determined by decisions you make, decisions others make, and sometimes by unexpected events. What matters is what you do or don’t do to chart a course that leads you back to God. When your response to life’s opportunities and challenges is faith and trust in His plan, you’ll receive the strength you need to succeed." I challenge y'all to keep this in mind this week!!

Love always,

Sister DeCamp

Week 44

Hey y'all!

I have been moved to Mississippi finally! And it's the best! I am LOVING it here! I am in the YSA branch and it covers the entire stake! We also have USM and it's awesome. I forgot how much people love college football...then I saw the stadium haha.  It's pretty big! 

My companion is Sister Wilson and she is Awesome! She is from Jamaica! We are always laughing and always lost. haha I have to drive and so I have no idea where I am going and she's never driven and didn't pay uch attention to where she was soo its always an adventure! But I am starting to figure things out! its an adventure for sure!

This week We taught a lesson on the word of wisdom And a few days later we went back and she told us that she had given up smoking and coffee. She knows it's not good and knows that what we tell is true because she has been praying. She Is set for a baptism at the end of the month! She is doing great!

I know that the Lord gives us council to keep us safe and healthy. The church is true! 

Remember to read the scriptures and say your prayers! 

Much love,

Sister DeCamp

Week 41

Hey y'all! This week was a great week! There are some changes being made in the QC ward and it's awesome! The new bishop is really trying to pump up the ward with missionary work! So that is great and he is mixing almost everything up. It'e keeping us on our toes, that's for sure! 

This week we had both Zone Conference and exchanges! I loved it! Zone conference always gets me pumped up! And I love being able to see all of the great people in the zone! At conference we watched a video that I will attach to my email. It was so good! And so powerful! 

On exchanges I got to go with the lovely Sister Latimer! She is so fun and such a great example of charity. She is a stellar missionary and so it was a lot of fun to work with her and see the way she does things. You can learn a lot from exchanges sometimes! 

Y'all! I have a serious testimony in the Book of Mormon! We have an investigator named Dorthy who has been coming to church off and on for ever!! But never read the Book of Mormon. And so when she came it was for a friend or something. And she would never come if it was bad weather. Well since she has started to read the Book of Mormon she has come to church on her own. And yesterday she came and we had a really bad storm! It was awesome! She's the coolest. Also if anyone knows of a good single Mormon man ages 73-75 for her to date. Please let me know. She is looking (; haha 

Have a blessed week! Remember to read from the Book of Mormon! It's the best!!

Love,

Sister DeCamp

Week 40

Hey y'all!

It was good to talk to the fam yesterday! I hope everyone is doing great!

This week we tracted a lot and had a really fun time doing so. We met a lot of potentials! So that is good! Lots of people to follow up with! Which will hopefully build our teaching pool! Yay!

Some exciting news! Yesterday we got a new bishop! It will be so so good for the area and the ward! We are hoping to start working with him more! 

This week we also got called by some of the girls in our ward going to Prom saying they needed help because their dress ripped. Luckily Sister DeCamp saved the day! safety pins are pretty great! 

Sorry this email is short! But We have to go up to Texarkana! It was Elder Bledsoe's birthday yesterday! The coolest district leader ever! So we are fixin to go party it up with him! I love y'all! 

Love,

Sister DeCamp

Week 39

Hello!

"How long does it take you to pee?" The quote is from DM this week! We are asked to drink 60 oz. of water every morning before 10am and then continue throughout the day. Which is great because it keeps you very hydrated but is not fun when you have to sit in meetings or while tracting. And the quote was said in DM. And it was hilarious. 

This week was a great week though! We did a lot of tracting and it is paying off! We are now teaching a girl named Ashley who is planning on getting baptized in June! So prayers for her! She is the coolest though! And we see her making a lot of changes and progress in just a week! It's pretty amazing what the spirit and the power of the Book of Mormon can do!

We had interviews with President this week and they were really good! While Sister Hope was in her interview Sis. Olson and I went for a walk and talked a lot. It was really cool. I love those people! They can always make you feel the spirit so strongly and can always feel their love for you when they talk to you. It's pretty neat.

It was a beautiful week so we also got snocones! I love snocones! And we have just had a really good and busy week! 

I hope y'all have a blessed week and look for the tender mercies of the Lord. They are everywhere! Smile and be happy !!  

Also Be pumped to talk to me on Sunday. I'm pretty cool!

Love,

Sister DeCamp

Week 27

Hey y'all!

This week was such a good week! We worked hard and were able to find a few new investigators and still managed to have a lot of fun! For P-Day last week we went bowling and I surprisingly came in second! It was a fun time! 

We also went tracting a lot and went to try formers and part member families! Those are the best! While we were leaving a part members house, I was getting in the car and accidentally slammed my foot in the door..really hard. But don't worry it isn't broken as far as I know! It swelled up so we put some ice on it and after a while the swelling went down and it is just a little bruised but I can walk on it just fine so I'm not too worried about it. 

On Friday we tracted a lot of the day and then had a Valentine's dance with the ward. It was a great turn out of ward members as well as investigators and a great way to introduce the ward to them! Our Investigator Harley was there and yesterday we were able to set her with a date. The last week in Feb. and we are really excited about that! 

We also had the privilege of talking in church yesterday. We were told right before the meeting started that the first speaker wasn't going to be there and so we needed to dig a little deeper into our talks and take up the whole time... Somehow we managed to do it! And it was a great Sunday!

I hope y'all have a blessed week and a Happy Valentine's day!

Love, 

Sister DeCamp

Week 25

Hey y'all!

Transfer calls came bright and early this morning and I will be leaving the City of Gold tonight! It was a bittersweet call but I could not be more excited as to what is in store next! 

This week was a really cool and spiritual week! On Saturday we were able to travel to Jackson Mississippi as an entire mission and meet Elder Jeffrey R. Holland! He truly is an apostle of the Lord! He is also very passionate about missionary work. And his testimony of it is incredible! It was such an amazing and spiritually uplifting experience I will never forget it!  

Also this week we had some amazing progress with a cute couple! Their names are Dustyn and Dakoda and they are just the coolest people ever! We started teaching them about a month ago and this week we talked a lot about baptism but they said they wanted to pray about it and see if it was right for them. Well On Saturday night they took us out to eat and said they were feeling good about it but wanted a little more time to pray and really make sure. On Sunday they came to church and I told them I was leaving. They told me that I had to come back for their baptisms which I think took us all at surprise, because they had received their answers! It was the coolest! So hopefully this week they will have a date set and I will be able to figure out a way to make it back for that. (:  

Remember that the Lord ALWAYS answers your prayers, even if it's not exactly the way you thought he would. He is so mindful of us and cares and loves each of us so dearly! 

Have a Blessed week! Don't forget to pray!

-Sister DeCamp

Week 24

Hey y'all!

So this week was a really good and busy week. We have been working really hard and it is slowly starting to pay off! This week we were able to find a lot of new investigators. One was a miracle/ tender mercy of the Lord. We have an investigator named Dustyn and he was progressing really really well, then all of a sudden we hit a wall where he was always telling us he was too busy to meet with us and couldn't make our appointments because he would have to go to Louisiana. We were getting really confused. So we decided to just text him and see if he would have time to meet with us for 30 minutes and the ice cream shop in town. He said that would work great and he could do it. Well when we walk up we see him and a girl. We were excited to meet her and found out that is was his girlfriend who he had been helping move here from Louisiana who is really interested in the gospel and has actually taken lessons before! The Lord is great! 

 We also had a pretty neat experience this week with a family! We went tracting and decided to knock on a really pretty house, usually nobody is home or they aren't very accepting, but hey why not try. Well we knocked and they told us to come back is a few days. Usually means no in a kind way. Well we went back and were welcomed in. We got to talking and he said that he had a weird experience when we knocked on his door, That morning he had been looking at moving to Utah of all places and as he was googling it, he happened upon the Church's website and was looking at it. Then we showed up on his front porch! So that was pretty neat! We are now teaching them and they are a really awesome family!

Yesterday we had zone conference and it was such an uplifting day! It's always good to get those nice spiritual boosts!  We were talking about how we can find our answers through the Book of Mormon and it is true. You really can! So if you have a question pray about it read your scriptures write down your answer, pray read some more, revise your answer and apply it to you life. The Lord is mindful of us all and is waiting to bless us! And he will!! 

Have a blessed week! Love y'all!

-Sister DeCamp

Week 23

Hey Y'all!

So this week was a week of highs and a week of lows. But it was also a week of learning. We had interviews with President Olson and those always go great, and then we went on exchanges. I was down in Monroe with Sister Saunders and we got the cops called on us! That was really funny. And it has never happened to me yet. We ended up waiting for a while for them to come and they never did so we just left. We went to see one of their recent converts and she is AWESOME! Her name is Chelle. Probably one of the coolest people I've met and she told me that I needed to come down and be one of her missionaries. So that was exciting.   One of our elders ended up going home which is really sad but on the bright side we got a new one yesterday. He seems like he will do good for the area. 

It snowed here! And it was FREEZING! Humidity in the winter is not my favorite thing in the world. Ha. One super cool thing that happened this week was on Saturday both Sister Gunther and I were having bad days and we were at salvation army doing some service and we ran into Dianne! The lady that we met in the store at the beginning of December. Well she ended up telling us just how much we have influenced her life for the better and how because of what we did for her, her whole perspective has changed. And the crazy thing is that you could see the change! 

We were also walking down the street home and some random ward member from a different stake stopped us and gave us 20$ and told us to g get lunch, and then another ward member form our ward saw us walking and gave us a ride. It was a day of blessings. And we both really needed to see that the Lord loved us as much as he does. 

The church is true! The Lord is so mindful of all of us and he really does love each one of us and knows our needs. He hears our prayers! 

Remember to Trust Jesus- Jeffrey R. Holland.

Have a blessed week y'all! 

-Sister DeCamp

Week 22

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

This year I celebrated in the New Year by going to some ward members house and watching them launch fireworks. It was a fun time with good company. In Relief Society we talked a lot about goals that we all set at the beginning of the year and how sometimes by 2 weeks we forget them or have already ruined them. It is so important to set realistic goals! So this year my goals were something that I thought would be challenging and still something I could do and if I mess up then I can restart on them. 

  Something great and exciting this week is that we set Dustin with a date! He is so cool! We have been meeting with him for about a month now and we asked him this last week how he felt when he prayed and read from the Book of Mormon- with tears in his eyes he said that he felt Joy. And it was a feeling that he wanted to keep and wanted in his life. It was such a cool experience.

 Also this past week we met with one of our investigators named Tat ( like tater tot) She is super cool. She is so sincere and just wants to improve her life. She says that every time we come over we bring happiness to her life. And then we have another lady we are teaching named Doris she is older and loves the Book of Mormon, we asked her if she had prayed about the Book of Mormon and she had and she said that she knew that it was true. She is also always talking about our light that we have. This past week so many people have pointed out the light that we have and that we are sharing with others. It is so amazing to hear because we are just being us. We are examples of Christ. So we are radiating with his light. We need to make sure that we are always setting a good example to others so we don't draw them away from the church. I was reading in Alma chapters 3-4 yesterday and it talked about how the pride of the people of the church made it a stumbling block for those not of the church. It was because they were not setting forth a good example. We never know who is watching us so we need to make sure that we are always being a good example even when we think that no one is watching. 

I hope y'all have the best week and make sure to set a good example to everyone you see! You never know who is watching you!  

-Sister DeCamp

Week 21

Hey Y'all! 

It was so good to talk yesterday! It sounds like everyone is doing awesome and that makes me really happy! 

So this week we had a few cool experiences that I saved to share, 

1) We had an appointment on the clear other side of town and we didn't have the car- and it was too far to bike, so we ended up getting a ride out there with a member but our ride back fell through. So we just decided that we would tract all the way back to the area we had planned to go tracting in. Well we never made it to the area we wanted, but we were able to teach a lot of other lessons and get 2 new investigators. One of them is name David- he's really cool. We talked to him about the restoration and about the Book of Mormon and he said he would look into it a little more and ask us questions when we met with him next. So on Saturday we went over to his house and him and his Wife had a billion questions some we could answer and some were to confusing that even they get messed up on their words. But after bearing our testimony of the Book of Mormon he said that he wanted to read it and find out for himself and that we had touched his heart and made their Christmas. It was a really neat and spiritual experience.

2)On Christmas eve we also met a lady named Taura- she's super cool. We were going to see some appointments and they fell through and she was walking out of her house so we decided to talk to her again ( we had met her the same day we met David earlier this week) She ended up asking us to come and teach her and explain why we were so happy. As we bore our testimonies to her tears brimmed her eyes and she said that she knew what we had would be able to help her heal and help her be happy again. 

3)Also on Christmas eve we went to see Carlene again - I just love her. She has a memory problem and can't remember very much. But we decided that we wanted to read for Luke 2 with her. As we did that she quoted some of the scriptures and told us about how much she loved these scriptures. When we finished talking about why we all loved those verses- she forgot everything and went to talking about how she didn't like her shoes. It was really amazing to see that for just 3 minutes she was actually there with us. The Gospel is true folks!

Thanks for the presents and taco bell card- Sister G and I had some good tacos Christmas eve and a fun morning on Christmas. I won't lie though, I did not have one complaint about it being 74' on Christmas and  It was fun being able to share some of our traditions with each other. I love you all and hope you have a marvelous week! 

Remember how blessed y'all! Count your blessings! You probably have more than you think!

Love
