Today was Cameron's Farewell meeting at church at 1:00 pm. Riley was the youth speaker and spoke for 10 minutes. He was so good and spoke so clearly and slow. He got a little bit emoitonal when he talked about his older brother leaving on a mission. The ward choir sang a musical number, then another young man in our ward spoke. Erika and her violin teacher, Bonnie Wilson, played a violin duet "I know my redeemer lives" by Larry Bebee with Sheri Libutti accompaning on the piano. They did a great job and it was very spiritual and moving number. Then Cameron spoke. He was told he had to speak for 20 minutes, but he only had 15 minutes left. While he was speaking, we were overwhelmed at how well he had prepared for his talk and know that he will be a great missionary. We had many family members and friends come and support Cameron. We had a luncheon after Sacrament Meeting at our home in the carport. We served Cafe Rio Salad bar. It was so good and everyone enjoyed being there and mingling with each other. We had an open house from 5 - 8 pm that evening for anyone else that wanted to come and support Cameron. It was a great day for all of us. Thanks to all the family and friends who came and helped with food. Now we have two weeks to get Cameron ready for the MTC on October 7th.
