Another great week in McNeil! Got to talk to lots and lots of people this week! Got invited to "party" and chased down my companion since she ran away from me.. haha we have fun together!  John is doing fabulous! He continues to just soak everything in and is becoming really great friends with the ward members! Janette and her family are finally doing family prayers together and are so happy about it! Sadly one of our other investigators told us this week that the Mormon church isn't for her, too much of a life change but she is such a wonderful mom and someday I know that she will be ready to accept all of it. Had a beautiful testimony meeting yesterday at church, the ward members here are so ready and willing to serve it is wonderful! There was a simple moment at the end of relief society as one of the less active members of the ward stood up to say the closing prayer. I hadn't seen her there during the day and just knowing the effort that we and the ward members have put into fellowshipping her and supporting her and her family and to see her there and participating, the beauty of the work and the power and purpose we do ALL of this hit me hard. These are God's children and even the smallest simple things, they are bringing his children back and allowing them eternal blessings! The work is good and it is beautiful! I probably say that over and over but it is true! Keep smiling.. love your mothers!! :) with love.. Sister Camarella
