Hey mom!

Dad already made me cry when I read his letter about the prayer!!! And hear come the tears again! Goodness! I love y'all so much! But my Thanksgiving was good! Sister Archibald fed us right good! I was fat and happy! Kinda I couldn't move for 3 hrs! Lol she was so funny! She told us after we ate that if we needed to belch, fart undo our pants or do anything we needed to make us feel at home! I just grabbed a pillow and layed on the floor! It was great! Elder Sevy didn't even move from the table he was so full! It was so funny! But we had a good time! The Turkey bowl was fun! No one got hurt! That’s a plus! Normally a bunch of older guys get together and some one is bound to get hurt but no one did! It was fun!

Tell everyone Yellow Horse says hi! Lol Buck he is a funny guy! I can totally see Durf and Dallin keeping it short! Poor bishop!

Thanks so much for sending that stuff!

One more thing that I would like is my Osterhout Family history book! Our mission and one other mission in California are doing a pilot program for all the missionaries in the world! And it is called finding through family history! I think that book would help with it. And one thing that I can’t do is I want to find out my priesthood history! We can trace it clear back to Christ! I just don't have the resources to do that. I think you can ask the ward clerk and it’s on file. It would be so cool.

But this week was a good week! We set that older lady for baptism! She will get baptized on the 3rd so on Saturday!!!! She is such a sweet heart! And also this week I will be in Richmond! I will be there Monday to Friday for leadership training! It will be fun! But that’s the exciting news for the week. We are going fishing with a member today in the ocean! It will be fun!

I'm glad your Holiday was good! Mine was as well! Thanks So much for the PIE!!!!!! It’s great! You’re the best! <3 take care

Love you forever like you for Always

For all eternity my mother you will be!

Hello Mom!

I was looking in the mail all week for that package! lol.  I was wondering if it got lost! But yes I forgive you lol! We had dinner at the Call’s last Sunday! She is so funny! And yes we have been fed very well! I’m still getting chunky! But its OK it’s not too bad I can still see ripples of my once flourishing 6 pack! Lol it’s kinda got a layer of soft stuff over it now but it won’t be hard to take off! I just need to start running in the mornings! Hahah idk how that will work out! And no need to worry. We are going to a member’s house for dinner and she is said to be one of the best cooks in the ward! We were fed by members every night in the month of November! We haven’t had to cook anything!  It is very nice on the grocery bill. December is already starting to get filled up so that’s good!

This week nothing happened! It’s just been slow and we have been raking lots of leaves! Lots of fun! NOT! Too many freaking trees!

Well there are somethings I do need. One thing that you might be able to find on Friday is a GPS, like one that is for in cars, I don’t care what brand just a cool looking one that won’t break in the first month! Every missionary needs to have one cuz its impossible to navigate with out it in Virginia! That’s something Sister Perry has suggested as a good gift from home! Elder Sevy got one From K-Mart that works really well. It wasn't very much and the Brand starts with a M, It Might Be Magellan but I'm not sure, The reason i haven't needed on thus far is cuz i have been lucky and all my comps have had one but idk Elder Sevy thinks he is going to be transferred so i might need it before Christmas. Transfers are on the 15th.

Some other stuff that I need is my snowmobile longjohns! They are in my Snowmobile bag that I think is under my bed! If they aren't in there ask pee wee! She has a tendency to steal them they are under armor pants but they aren't tights. I would also some of my wool socks, some more stamps, White under armor. I think i have some in my closet, and Black gloves and hat. Its starting to get cold fast! But no snow just freezing air cuz of all the humidity! So if that could be speedily sen that would be sweet!

Well mom my is out of time!

I hope you have a good holiday! Don't worry about me i will be in good hands! And I never go hungry!  I will try to send my Memory card home so you can get all the pics off it and see them and as soon as I get one back I will send the other.

Love you mom!

Love you forever, like you for always

Love Twark!

Hello family!

This last week we had Zone meeting! It was sweet! And I got to meet Elder Beck! I know that kid! I hope we will be comps some time! He is really cool! We talk every time we see each other! He told me Taylor Bowers got married! I was like wow she didn’t wait long! His bishop is Sager! Lol small small world! Then Sister Call! She is from Rupert! That’s so cool! We have lots of fun! Not much has gone on this last week. Just teaching! We dropped more than half of our investigators because they weren't progressing. So we are teaching about 10 people now and are looking for more. We got a clean start.

So why did dad have to run Jade off?

I heard about the missionaries in Texas. That’s so sad and I had no idea that it was a close hit to home!

My ankle is fine I just wear an air brace every other day or so. It just depends on what I’m doing that day. I can walk on it fine but when it gets in to certain positions it about makes me pee my pants. But it’s all taken care of. But that’s my week. Not too much this week.

Y'alls week sounds like it was fun! Only Dan would think of that! I would love that kind of meeting! My favorite hymn now is “Be Still My Soul" now every time you will hear it you will cry! Hehehe love ya. So are you still looking for another car/SUV?

And Pee Wee it doesn’t sound like you have changed much! Or especially changed the channel.hehehe what day is the 4th of July????? Hehe love you pee wee

Drew J Matsen is getting dunked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried to share the gospel with that kid for years! He just needed a woman to do it for him I guess! Kind of like dad :) But that’s so exciting! Wow

We do ride our bikes lots but I’m all lit up! I got back lights and front lights! We don’t ride on major roads at night though. Just in the neighborhoods. So we will be ok. I can’t think of anything else I might need, o wait! Can you send my Electric Razor with the charger please! My face does not like being shaved every day so I wasn’t to switch it up a little. Can you believe that in 7 day I will have been out 4 months! Holy moly it’s going by fast! But I’m not complaining. Well I hope all is well on the home front. I love yell lots!

Love y’all For Ever

Like Y’all For Always!
P.S. Do Y’all like how I’m working on my akcent??? Or how ever you spell it? Hehehe

Love

I received an unexpected phone call on Saturday. I saw on my cell phone a number from Virginia, my heart jumped. I answered to find a very kind and sweet voice on the other end asking if I was Sister Clark. I was nervous thinking something had happened to Cameron. The lady told me she was Sister Call and that she had the opportunity to feed the missionaries, one was my son. She told me he was doing well. We continued to talk and she related to me their conversation. Her and her husband had asked the missionaries where they were from. Cameron told her he was from Southern Idaho. They were more curious as to precise location. He didn't think they would know where Burley or Rupert were. He told them he was from the Burley area. Turns out Sister Call graduated from Minico High School with Cameron's 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Hepworth. He was excited  to have a connection back home. He told them he was actually from Declo. They asked him why he didn't just say he was from Declo, he replied because nobody knows where Declo is. LOL! It was great to talk to her. Thank you so much for calling Sister Call, it made this mama's day. Thank for taking care of my boy. :D

Hey mom.

I’m glad you got the package!!! The nuts are kind of dumb but I thought what the heck I will see if she wants to try it. I have yet to try it. Me and Elder Sevy Get along fairly well. He is a lot like Jacob Turner. He is a really obedient missionary so that is good. I can see the blessings that come from being obedient.

My week was good. The old lady isn’t baptized yet but she is coming to church and she loves it so it won’t be to long before we get to baptize her! I went to the Dr on Thursday to find out what was wrong with my kankle and they took x rays couldn’t see anything broken but its sprang and has some torn ligaments so they gave me a better brace and told me they were going to send in my x rays to be looked at closer. They said there might be some hairline fractures. Hope Not! But I can walk on it fine I just can’t twist it at all or I might just pee me pants! LOL!  But it’s a ways from the heart I will live. lol we did set one of our other investigators for baptism her name is Robin. She will be baptized on Dec 24th. idk if I will still be here then but I hope so. She is a cool lady. We have been teaching her for quite a while and now it has paid off. But not much else has happened this week. Oh we reactivated a less active member to! He hasn’t been to church in a few years and we got him to come! It was exciting! But not much else has happened. 

That too bad about the Nellie! And did you know every time I hear the song "I love to see the temple" I think of me and pee wee singing it on the way to the temple! It was a good van but she wasn’t going to last forever. It will be ok. Just think of that new Dodge Journey :) it will be much better!

I did get Kambries letter! I think! I got probably 15 letters in the past 2 weeks! So idk if I did for sho. But that’s all I’m doing today is writing letters so it will be in the mail tomorrow.

Tell the CS clan I’m doing good and hi. I miss the CS lol

Well Mom Thanks so much for all that you do for me :) you’re the best. And if you can’t find the CD just send me the iPod then if you find the CD I can just put it in the CD player. Thanks so much for the pants! I was more mad about my pants getting ripped then I was about my sprained ankle or my cut knee! Grr I was mad! lol. O and we get fed lots we have dinner appointments ever day this next week! So I’m excited.  Thanks again!

Love you forever

Hi again,

I almost forgot to ask can I get some long garments. It’s starting to cool off and church pants are a little drafty. I would greatly appreciate it! I don’t have much chub on me to keep me insulated.

Thanks again so much for sending all the stuff. However, next time I would rather have more healthy stuff. The jerky is great and so are the seeds and granola bars, but I have gained 20 lbs and it’s because I don’t eat very healthy. Elder Sevy and I are going on a diet/ better eating streak! IDK how long it will last but it’s worth a try. I would love like trail mix and granola bars from the Little Debbie’s man. LOL! Future reference some candy is good but not too much please J. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I want to be able to fit into my sexy pants when I get home J.  Oh, I have been thinking y’all should start stashing away some $$$$ so when my mission is done you guys can come pick me up and I will give you a tour of my mission, we could go to D.C., Nauvoo, and Palmyra and hit all those sweet sites that are all over back here. Just an Idea. Lots of missionaries have their parents do it. Just think about it.

Thanks, Love you,

Twark

P.S. Kambrie how is your new boyfriend? JK No, really how is he? LOL!!

Love,

Twark

So the nuts (acorn seeds) are for your classroom kids and also for your young women. You could show the young women the Restoration video and the seed that falls at the first of the video is the seed that gets planted. So, I got some seeds to plant! However, they have already started to grow. I also thought it would be fun for your science class.

The D & C DVD’s are sweet. Y’all should watch them as a family the best one is Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration. There is a newer one online but this is cool too. It’s kind of just a longer version of the Restoration DVD. You could show that to the young women too. The good prophet of the Restoration is on disc 3.

The pics are of fun and cool things on my mission, some of them have things on the back but I was out of time to do anymore and it’s past my bedtime as it is. So I will ttyl.

Love,

Cameron

Hey mommy lol

Its ok you didn’t call I forgot all about the call anyway and you’re probably right! President is so cool and I want him to stay that way. Thanks so much for all the stuff you sent! I love it! And I was really glad to see you had sent something to Elder Sevy! He hadn’t got anything all week! And I got about 10 letters and a couple packages!  But this week was great! And it sounds like yours is to! I’m sending a package home to y’all today with pics in it.

Well so you know how the last few weeks sucked! Well it paid off! The couple that decided not to get baptized called us Monday night and said they want to get interviewed for baptism and we baptized them Saturday!!! It was so sweet! The spirit was so strong there it was crazy! I’m going to send a bunch of pics home this week so you will have to check them out! I got to confirm one of them and holy crap I’m not old enough to do that stuff! But tit was so funny. The guy that I confirmed has a brain problems from a car wreck a few years ago so after he received the Holy Ghost he did the Rocky Balboa dance down the aisle. It was funny!
We have also been teaching this sweet older lady that says she wants to call our mom and tell her how good of a job raising her boy she did! So look forward to a letter or a call from Judy Grandy. I think and she will get baptized within the next month I think! She loves the gospel! But thinks are going great and I’m going to be in Yorktown for another 6 weeks! We have several other people we are teaching as well.  And I’m excited. I rolled my ankle last Tuesday and it’s still swollen up! We were running and it was pitch black and I hit the edge of the road and went man down! Ripped my pants and I think it might be a minor sprain on my ankle cuz normally when I roll it, it only hurts for a day and it’s been a week and it still hurts! But it’s a ways from the heart and I will live! I might go get a brace for it.

Well mommy thanks again! You’re the best!

Love you forever like you for always,

Love Twark

Sounds like the Elk hunt was a lot of fun! Its sounds like a good area. I’m glad y'all got something this year! We will have to give it a try when I get home! I have a few people that want to come with us when we get back. It’s my bishop of the ward I’m in now and another member that feeds us all the time they are really cool. So they said when I get home to expect a call! So that could be fun!
Things are going great and I’m going to be in Yorktown for another 6 weeks! And I’m excited. We have 450 miles we get in our car the rest is on bike. We got soaked from the storm but we lived. I rolled my ankle last Tuesday and it’s still swollen up! We were running and it was pitch black and I hit the edge of the road and went man down! Ripped my pants and I think it might be a minor sprain on my ankle cuz normally when I roll it, it only hurts for a day and it’s been a week and it still hurts! But it’s a ways from the heart and I will live! Well pops! Have a good week! How has the Preach my Gospel reading been going? Love ya lots

Hey Mom,

Things have been much better this last week. We were kind of getting burnt out with everything that had been going on but we are doing well now! I wish I was there to clean your house for you! I actually kind of liked it some days. But hopefully it gets under control for ya.

I watched the links you sent me! And all I can say is my sister is cool! Ha-ha and she knows that but just tell her I said that! I’m looking forward to a letter from her but I know she is really busy. You should send me some of her new fall pics! And I just want my denim blanket. I should stay nice and toasty with that! Transfer calls are next week so I will find out if I stay or not. I kind of hope I do I like it here. But I can’t think of anything I need besides that and my iPod. But I wouldn’t send anything if it won’t be able to make it here by next Tuesday or Wednesday day because I may be gone.

Well, I have been looking at some cars/ SUVs. Dodge Nitro, Dodge Journey, Chevy Equinox, Chevy Cruise, ps that’s the new one I want!, GMC Terrain. That is all I have seen that are cool. The Dodge Durango isn’t that cool I don’t think but idk I haven’t seen the inside of any of any of these cars I only see them on the road.

I’m going to send you some acorns. Like off the tree! You should have your kids plant them for science or something. Also I was thinking you should watch the restoration video and have you young women related it to planting the gospel seed. Lots of the ones I have are already sprouting so they should grow in to a big tree if cared for I want one at our house just out back where it won’t get on the yard!

Not much else is new. Remind Grandma Joyce she can call me if she wants and yall should go over and you could listen and I could hear you! Like a family conversation! If you do call at about 9-9:30 my time that’s when my day is over. But if something serious ever comes up call President Perry and then he will call me or you can just call me first it don’t matter but I could be moved so I wouldn’t have the same number. So I’m hinting at call me with the whole family like next Sunday at my 9:30 lol.

Thanks so much mom for everything you do. You’re the best! If you need anything let me know. I will do my best to do it for ya.

Love you forever like you for always

Love Twark

Hey Dad,

This week has been mucho better our numbers are still down a little but we are getting some more solid investigators. Not much else has changed the trees are just starting to change not too much though. I’m excited for when they do. My companion is doing fine.

But you hunting stories are sweet! I love telling people where I’m from cuz what’s not to love about Idaho! You can do all that stuff there. But anyways you got a deer and pee wee did to! I can just imagine her just saying "I didn’t want it to get away" I probably would have died laughing so hard! Ha-ha I bet grandpa was shocked to lol. It sounds like lots of fun! And your deer sounds like our hunt we had up there a few times! We can never find the dang deer. I’m looking forward to hearing about you elk hunting stories.  O and for scripture study ideas put the book of Mormon on that table I made you and leave the open! It makes it a reminder to everyone to read them.

Anyways not much else going on. Thanks for the update.

Love Twark
