Called to Serve

Cameron got his mission call.

My Dear Cam, who was always too concerned about my asthma, who trusted people and did push-ups and fell in love all so easily, who held me when I cried and thanked me for holding him when he cried, is leaving.

He is leaving to serve The Lord.

And I can't help but be so scared. One of my best friends is going across the world, where he won't know the language or the people or the dangers. He'll be on his own, further from his friends and family than he could ever dream. He could get sick, hurt, scared, lost, depressed, angry, killed.

But I know he is righteous, and I know that God wouldn't let something bad happen unless it would help us and/or us grow. He will protect my Cam until the day he will return with honor, whether that be two months or two years or two millennia from the time he leaves our hands and gives himself fully unto The Lord.

I salute you, Elder Cameron John Thomas. I have the utmost faith in you and God. Together, y'all can bring the gospel to the good people of Korea. You deserve to be a missionary.

Cam Dear, I love you.
