WOW this week was
totally wicked!!! There's too much to even talk about.
Last week for Zone Pday we did this thing called Bubble balls. You get
into these giants bubbles with just your feet hanging out and then you
run into each other. It sounds a little ridiculous but it was actually
tons of fun. What's a better way for missionaries to relax and enjoy
the day than running into each other without hurting on another.
We stopped by Ken and Jessica's, and they let us in and we had the most
amazing lesson ever!! They are both so humbled, after Jessica's heart
attack last week. We talked about eternal families (they aren't married
yet) and the Plan of Happiness that God has for them. They had good
questions and the Spirit was super strong. We invited them to be baptized
and they said yes! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with
them.
We tracted a lot in our new Ward this week, met some very interesting
people. But also met tons of people who want to take lessons!! They're
college age though, so we had to refer them to the YSA missionaries. I
guess that's what happens when we serve right next to the University of
Utah campus.
One of the people we met was named Victor, and we had a good conversation
about the Book of Mormon, and finding true happiness. We walked by him
again later, and he held the Book of Mormon up to his friends and said
"look!! They gave me my own Book of Mormon!!" Haha he was so excited to
read it
One of our companionship goals this week was to talk to EVERYONE we see.
Literally every single person we see. Sometimes it's super awkward (like
when we interrupted a flirt fest to testify of Christ, which turned out
great because she was stoked to get her very own Book of Mormon), but we
honestly saw so many miracles!! I've NEVER had so many people listen to the
message we shared. Including a pastor of a church we walk by all the time!
Funny story- we were riding our bicycles, and we stopped to talk to some
people on their porch. She was like "SISTERS!!! Do you want to come in?? Do
you need water??" Which I did need some water, so we said yes. But plot
twist, it wasn't a home, it was apparently a Hindu temple! She asked us to
take our shoes off before entering, so we did. We went inside, and it was
beautiful! There were pictures of Gurus everywhere, with drums, and banners
and colorful things. It was interesting, and the woman who let us in used
to be lds, so she told her Hindu monk friend all about what we do. We
listened to what they believe, then the monk asked what we believe. We took
the golden opportunity to share the restoration, including the first vision
of Joseph Smith. The spirit was there and the monk and the lady appreciated
listening. Then they fed us some Hindu treats made from chickpea flour and
coconut oil. SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE
And then the COOLEST THIG EVER HAPPENED. On Sunday Emma (the one
leaving on her mission to Rome) had her mission farewell. A lot of her
family was coming and and by the time Sacrament meeting started our
chapel was the fullest I had ever seen. But the best part was when her
uncle go there who just happened to be Elder Neil A. Anderson of the
quorum of the twelve apostles!! Yup that's right. An apostle was in my
wards Sacrament meeting. He even came over and shook our hands.
Enforce the meeting started. It was a pretty cool experience.
I love you all! Hope you all had a great week!
Love Sister McCammon ❤️

All the sisters in the zine!
The trio in our bubbles!
Biking on the U Campus!
Zone Conference this
week with my companions!
This is a home of one
of our members. It may look small in picture form but trust me it's not.
There some old
mansions that have been turned into apartment complexes but they are absolutely
beautiful homes.
We love Elder and
Sister Hebron!
Weekly planning... we
have to stay focused some how.
The cold has now left
and the heat is here. Melting while tracting
This is one of our
church buildings. It looks so different than any other LDS church. But yes it
is an LDS church building.
Sister Deem's bag officially has been replaced by a new bad
that is not held together by one string. Haha
