Dinner with the Cameron's...

Sunday Night we had dinner with the Cameron's.

Dick, Heidi and her Father

They came back to our Ward to speak about their mission in Hawaii.

They had returned about 3 months ago, and it was so good to hear from them and the experiences they had that brought them and others closer to our Savior Jesus Christ.

They had always wanted to serve a mission and Heidi got really sick without a diagnosis as their youngest son left for his mission in Italy.  I remember they took her to the Temple with him before he left and she was in a wheelchair.  She got worse at times not able to move from her chair, not even to get to the bathroom, before they finally diagnosed her with lyme disease.  She fought her way back from near death for years and was able to watch her son return from his mission, marry and eventually have a baby.  All the while Dick by her side!! She gained strength at first only able to lift a tin can of beans up an inch bending her wrist, to eventually walking.  Through many miracles they found a window she was finally healthy enough to sell their family home to serve this mission!!

They came home and are taking care of both of their ailing/aging parents now.  We talked about how that is a service mission all in itself (sweet, tender and very sacred service)!!! I think when this mission is complete, I think they are hoping to build a home near the new Meridian Idaho Temple! Which if I could predict the future, would be a perfect place to find them on a next mission.

Heidi's Sister Kathy, is married to Jim's Uncle Tom (Jack's brother).

So they are Uncle Dick and Aunt Heidi to us!

They are the sweetest example of LOVE and SERVICE we could ever have!

We adore them to pieces and I am so happy I remembered to finally get this picture with them.

I hope we have many many more dinners with them in the future.

And trip to see them on the farm in Ontario is way overdue... 

I can't wait for our next visit!!!
