Well, this week was the last week of the transfer. On Saturday we got the call from our zone leaders informing us that we are staying together. In fact, in our zone the only one leaving is a sister missionary. They are splitting an area that they had combined last transfer. Our zone leaders were covering that area, and now we shall get a new zone leader and the other one will train in one of the areas. Overall, 3 missionaries are coming to the zone. The sister missionary who will replace the one leaving is one who was in my first zone.

Other than that, for a lunch and dinner appointment, we had two parties. Both were birthday parties, which counted as meals. We also had a bit of a rough time on Thursday as we had several appointments, that decided to cancel. We keep moving forward though.

All in all it was a good week, and Barboza and I are gonna be together for one more transfer.

P.S. from Marilyn:
Cameron sent photos, as well, although they don't necessarily coincide with this week's email. In no particular order, here they are!

First, is Cameron with President Martin, the outgoing mission president:

Cameron and his companion, Elder Barboza, in front of the Los Angeles Temple:

Probably at a zone conference, this is Cameron with Elders Stevenson and Ah Chee:

And finally, we have three missionaries from Lewiston, Idaho that are serving in the exact same mission. This is Elder Johnny Grow, Hermana Sena Busch, and Elder Huffaker. They're holding up "L"s with their fingers for "Lewiston."

Hermana Busch is the only Spanish-speaking one, and she is the sister missionary that was going home, which Cameron refers to in this email. She spoke this last Sunday in our ward Sacrament Meeting, and is an amazing young lady!
