We got our first letter from Cameron this week in the mail. In the Christmas package Ryan and I sent last month, we included lots of stationary, envelopes, and stamps. I was fishing for a letter and it looks like it worked!
Elder Burnett gave me permission to share some of his letter on here. Things are going well when it comes to the Lord's work, but when it comes to material things, it has all been falling apart... literally! They came home one night to a broken heater with a -9 degree night ahead of them. Somehow they made it through the night, but woke up the next morning to find their pipes partially frozen! Cameron writes, "I guess we were just meant to endure many trials this winter. As President Uchtdorf said we just need to 'hold on a little longer' until summer hits in June!"
When Cameron and I talked on Christmas, he told me about an investigator we'll call "D". They had been working with "D" for a little while. In his letter, Cameron mentioned things continue to go well with him. "D" was almost baptised in 2002, but went through a divorce and relocated. He was so glad that the missionaries knocked on his door and found him again. Remember to keep Elder Burnett, his companion, and their new friend "D" in your prayers!
Cameron ended his letter to us with a great quote, "A goal not written down and in plain sight is only a wish." A wonderful reminder.
Thanks so much for writing, Elder Burnett. I loved opening the mailbox and finding your letter there!
Love you,
Aunt Michelle

Of course Cameron would keep the important info of freezing at night from me :( I am glad that he confided it to you Presh! Now I know that I need to send him thermals and warm socks for the night time.
