One More Family Complete in the Gospel

Dear Mom,

I am feeling a lot better now. The medicines did everything that they were supposed to. I am now back to normal. I`m always honest, I`m a missionary. Thank you for all your prayers. Thank you Mom.

So not a whole lot has changed since my last letter things are still a little rough. But like you said it`s a refiner`s fire, it`s not something that`s supposed to be easy, but the end result is well worth it.  I know that I am doing all that I can and I know it is for a good reason why all this is happening. There is a master plan behind all this. I`m only excited to see what I will be like afterwards. Because something good always comes from times like these. It may not be what we want, but it is exactly what we need.

Right now we have about 23 people we are teaching, but only 5 are progressing, people aren`t progressing for lots of reasons. They don`t have a testimony, they don`t have faith in Christ, others because they aren`t fulfilling their commitments, but that`s the work. This past week Elder Romero and I have really focused on receiving answers to prayers and finding out if the Book of Mormon is true with our investigators. Because it all comes down to that. With that testimony people really start to progress and grow closer to God.

I had some really strong experiences this past week. It didn`t happen during lessons, but when I was praying. To receive an answer to a prayer in the moment is rare. I was blessed with the answers I needed two times this week. During both experiences the voice of the Lord came to me through the Holy Spirit and was able to receive exact revelation. One had to do with the work in my area and the other had to deal with my district and what I needed to do to help them. I know that He listens and answers, I do not doubt it.

Me and my comp. are getting along great. Sometimes he`s hard to be around, just because of the difference in personalities. He`s a really hyper guy and is a jump and then look type of person. Which Has it`s ups and downs. But all is good. He has taught me a lot in how I should be or act.

Oh I forgot. Miracle Baptism! One of our investigators we stopped teaching got baptized yesterday. We stopped teaching her because she wasn`t progressing. But the primary did their presentation in sacrament meeting and she came to see her two kids participate. We went to go see her that same day, two weeks ago, and told us she wanted to be baptized. The power of children. Now we have completed one more family. Yea!

I love this work.

Thank you Mom for all that you do for me. You're the greatest mom ever! You can do anything you can put your mind to. I got that trait from you and Grandpa. Tell everyone that I love them.

Love,

Elder Cameron Coon
