Email, May 27, 2008

Hey are you guys there? I don´t think you are... weird. Well I have had a good week, it was busy, and it went up and down. Sometimes I feel like I am doing great with the language, and other times I just have no idea what is going on. Naturally I am not a big fan of these times, but I just smile and move on.

This week we found an inactive family of whom we had no record, and they are willing to come back! It made me smile because we were giving them a lesson and she started to laugh and then told us she was baptized. My companion thought she meant in the Catholic church and tried to explain our beliefs about authority haha! She laughed some more and then told us she was a member of our church, it was great to know that they were willing to come back.

That is okay, things happen. No my time is the same today, I am improving, but I have to go now, I can´t wait for you to get my 2nd letter, it is really good! I love you very much, and don´t be sad, its only a week until the next pday, it went by so fast it was crazy! hey if you want to try a drink, try and find Guarana, it is great, better than your inca cola dad! haha. Weird sammy has been weird, something bad is about to happen! earthquake!

That is really nice of Sis. Catron to check on you. (Tamara was sick, but feeling up to visiting with Kim at Panera Bread to get some food in her stomach for the first time in a couple of days) I am glad you had a good time. I have had a craving for a good bagel every once in a while, but I am far from having one of those again! haha. I take much pleasure in cheese bread and chocolate cake, 10 centavos haha.

Hmmm. well I had one more thing I was going to tell you,... but I think you will have to wait for my letter now hahaha!!! Don´t be sad... you will find out. Oh the letter system has not been bad here. I only sent my first letter from here last week, sooo it should take about a week and a half... so just a few more days. Oh, say Happy Birthday to Lilly, and can you send me a list of important birthdays for me to remember? Important friends, family, even if you think I know it, just send it because after a year I probably wont haha. Thank you I love you all very much, Oh and please check on how to wash poly rayon because the tag says dry clean only and I would hate to ruin these pants. Thank you!

I got your letter about camping and fishing, you will really like my 2nd letter!

I love you don´t forget to tell Lilly happy birthday! I love you all and be happy! Love,

Elder Cameron Dean Summerhays

That Elder likes to tease! I guess you'll look forward to the news in those letters! haha Thanks for updating...we're praying he'll be blessed with the "gift of tongues". That's gotta be tough to learn quickly!
