We Are Going to Have So Much Fun!!!

So I found out that this will be my last area. We received changes yesterday and I´m staying and I´m with the same comp, Elder Olsen. We are going to have so much fun. Our goal for the month of May is eight baptisms. We are really excited for that and we can achieve it. All is good in the work, this week we wont baptize but the following week we will. We have a leadership training this week so I will be going to Cuernavaca for two days. That should be fun. I´ll get to see some friends for the last time. I have a feeling that this time will fly by. It always does. I don´t have my flight plans yet. I know that they made them and that I will leave the 13 of June, but the timing, I´m not sure. I probably wont get home till Wednesday night. When is Caity´s graduation, will I be able to make it?

I had an amazing experience last night. We were doing some weekly planning in our apartment when my comp and heard our neighbor yell my name, she´s a member. She asked if we could do her a favor. We said yes of course. One of our converts was over at her house with his brother; they are about the age of me and Caleb. The brother wasn´t a member and he wanted to listen to us. He commented how he had noticed a big change in his brother. We started teaching; we talked about how we are children of God and that He loves us, that we can talk to him through prayer. At the end of the lesson, of about ten mins, we invited him to pray. He prayed then started to cry, the Spirit was overwhelming. Our convert went over and gave his brother a hug. Then his brother asked what he needed to do to be baptized, he now is working toward May 19 to be baptized. I love this! There is no greater joy in the whole wide world.

We Do Not Doubt, for Our Mothers Knew it

 It´s soo true what you said about Christ. It reminded me of what our mission president always teaches us; that each and everyone of us should have a personal experience with Christ through His Atonement, teachings, or whatever it may be. I have done that on my mission and it has made the biggest difference in my testimony. If you haven´t read Jesus the Christ, amazing book.

> Everything is good here we baptized again this week. I don´t remember if I told you this in my letter. But his name is Juan Gomez. He has the biggest desire to serve God that I have ever seen in any person! We had a small short program, but the Spirit was soo strong; I loved it!
>
> We are going to be focusing a lot this week in finding more people to teach, people that can be baptized soon. Because my time is winding down. It´s soo hard to believe that has gone by soo fast. I don´t have any regrets so that´s been the best for me.

> If you do me a favor, that in this next month you could keep your eyes out for full time work during the summer for me. Thanks Mom.

> I love you Mom. You have been the greatest example to me. Like it says in the scriptures "We do not doubt, for our mothers knew it."

ALL IS GOOD IN MEXICO

 All is good in Mexico. We baptized this last week and completed a family. That was amazing! We are also going to  be baptizing another person this Sunday. He has been so prepared to get baptized! He came from California, only based on the feeling that there is something here for him. He has been looking for the truth, just hasn´t been able to find it. He actually contacted us and from the beginning has wanted to be baptized. It will be for this Sunday at 5p.m.
As for the sleeping arrangements you would be surprised what someone could used to doing. I´ll just be that more grateful for my own when I get home. 
Senioritices, I remember those good ol days. When I was a senior about three years ago. Time really flies by sometimes. That´s weird to think that Caity and I will be going to school together. Question is the truck still in good condition or will I need to buy a new car or something?
I had interviews with President Spannaus today. He basically told to work hard and enjoy these last two months of my mission. I have accepted the fact that I will be home in two months. Oh well, had to get over that hurtle. Things are good though, I can talk about home and still be focused, it hasn´t bee that big of a deal for me.

We baptized again this week.

So it looks like you all had your fun. Love that sunshine, I do to. Next time Grandma has a mariachi, I will sing in it for her. I think I could do that. So what was the best part of the trip or the party?

Everything is good here. We baptized again this week. She is part of an incomplete family and she has a really strong testimony. It´s interesting to see that the week of baptism things seem to fall apart, but she did what few people do and that was overcome her difficulties. Now she has a strong testimony and is ready to keep moving forward. I love this church.

As for earthquakes, I´m beginning to believe that they are all rumors, because I haven´t felt a single one of them. But we are getting our 72 hr kit ready, just to be prepared. I´m such a good eagle scout.

Lets see what is there to report on...... i really can´t think of anything else. I´m just trying to do all that I can to get the most out of these last two months that are going to fly by. Time always does when you´re having fun. My comp and I are good, the ward loves us and is working hard with us, we´re baptizing, it´s the best thing that could happen to a missionary. I think what I need to do better is recognize more of the blessing that are going on so I can tell more of them to you guys. I´ll work on that.

General Conference was a Blast

This past General Conference was a blast. I love General Conference as a missionary, it seems you really start to understand everything. It´s fun listening to things and picking out the big meaning behind the talks or being able to see clearly the message they want to convey. It´s also nice because it´s good break time. It was also cool hearing that my mission president will now be an area authority. We all knew it was going to happen.

We baptized again this week. It was a mother and her son. Women and children are always more receptive to the spirit. We have been working hard. I did splits with one companionship to see how they are doing and have my comp help them get more investigators, he´s really good at that. So with the sister who was baptized, we had a lesson with her on wednesday and she told us she didn´t want to be baptized. We didn´t know why. We started talking, trying to figure out her doubt, and after an hour we found out why. She was afraid she would have to give up dancing. We when found out we only smiled and told her you can still dance, there is nothing wrong with that. There are some many religions here with such strict rules some people are really lost. She was one of them. But that was all cleared up and she was baptized. Love those moments.

This week my comp and I are going to Cuernavaca for a special leadership councel with all the district and zone leaders. This is the first times that I´ve heard of one of these here. So we will see how this will go.



Love your son,

Elder Cameron Coon
