So, I started getting my stuff organized to start packing the trunks. Today I am officially and literally trunky.
BUT I HAVE TO BE because I won't have time to be packing very much during this week. We are going to baptise two awesome people this Saturday, friday we`re putting together a stake easter activity and we`re going to be working our butts off all week getting ready for those events, today at 6pm we`re going to meet with the sister missionaries and the ward mission leader to hand out flyers to the people who live close to the church, Tuesday we`re going to be working with the ward counsel for the activity and promoting the Follow Him video. Between all this time is district meetings and getting Luis and Fernando ready for their baptism this Saturday, on top of all that we`re contacting and teaching as normal. Im swamped! and Im loving it. I have to keep myself busy to end with a bang. Last sunday we helped 8 different people meet the requirements to be officially reactivated in the church. Plan March madness is going perfectly so far. :D jejeje (thats spanish for `hehehe`)
Another thing Ive been doing is reading the El Libro de Mormon in spanish from cover to cover before I go home. IM SO CLOSE! I just finished 3 Nephi, which is actually great seeing as I was in 1 Nephi three months ago. If I read 10 pages a day Ill be in Moroni 10 while Im heading out the door!
With so much going on in this last week, I don't really know what to feel. Im sad that Im ending the mission, but happy to be going home. Im sad to leave the people here but very happy to see my family and friends again. Im happy to be leaving the hot humid weather of Ecuador and a little nervous to jump into the icebath of northern utah.
With the bitter and the sweet going on at the same time, I'm feeling neutral. Yep, everything feels pretty normal around here. Im sure as I'm descending upon Utah Ill feel a bit differently, but for now, todo bien.
I realized that this is my last email to you guys from the mission... weird... -however, weird isn't too weird for me these days, Ive come to expect the weird and the unexpected. I've seen and experienced lots of things in my time here. Ive learned from and have taught to an entirely different culture. ....I'm going to have a hard time giving up the rice...
-but ya wanna know one thing I wont miss? Busses. I hate busses.
-Love, Cameron
