6am wake-up call from our handsome guy - totally worth it! It
was so wonderful speaking with him and hearing his voice. He's off to Trinidad
for 2 days of training then fly to his first area of service in Suriname. He
spoke a few words in Dutch and sounded so good! He said he always knew he was
going to serve a mission and had a bunch of little reasons why, but after some
time in the MTC one day it hit him that he had one BIG reason and that was
because of me, his mother, and my conversion story. You always hope your
children listen to you when sharing personal stories, but you never really
think they are actually listening. Cam also said his District President told him he is well liked by
all and nobody ever has a bad thing say about Elder Hardy, (except when he was
sick and coughing for two weeks straight and he had to barter Mountain Dew for
ear plugs for his companions). Haha So proud of him and he sounds so grown up
and mature in just 7 short weeks. God Speed!
P.S. I forgot to mention that his 10 minute calling card
lasted 30 minutes! Whoop! Blessings all around today.
I got a second call from Cameron during his layover in
Houston. However that call was only like six minutes before he had to board. He
said it's so exciting when people ask him why he's all dressed up and he says
"I'm a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints". I love having a
missionary! I asked him to say something in dutch and he said without skipping
a beat "I love you mom". Man this kid has my heart!
Our last day with our teachers Sister Larson and Brother
Vizante, Sister Larson was our first teacher and it was hard saying goodbye to
her. Brother Vizante is a Romanian teacher but because of the lack of Romanians
around, he taught us gospel mostly but he was a really cool guy!
Map of where they will be going.
