Elder Bardsley is Released!

We went to the mission office this morning to have Cameron released.  Cameron and his companions were meeting us there at the office.  We were sitting there for a bit and Cam wasn't showing up.  The mission secretaries called Cameron to find out where he was and they were on there way.  We later found out that when Cam was on his way over he had the worst stomach ache and he thought he was going to poop his pants!  He didn't have any incidents while he was on his mission but the last day he thought he was going to have a major accident.  He lucked out and found a bathroom just in time.  It was pretty funny that it was the last day on the way home to be released and he had that experience.  We skyped our stake president at home and he talked to Cameron for a bit before releasing him.  President Clare is a neat man and it was neat to hear him talk to Cameron about the mission and share some experiences from his own mission.  Afterwards, we met with Cameron's mission president, President Moreira.  He talked to him about what he learned from his mission and what he was going to take with him and use in his life after the mission.  It was neat to be able to be there and hear him speak about his mission and what he has learned.  His mission president is a really neat man and really nice.  We took pictures, took Cameron's companions to lunch, then made our way out to one of Cameron's areas so meet some of the people he taught.  We met several different families and they were all funny and crazy brazilians!  It was a lot of fun.  Everywhere we went they wanted to feed us!  We went to Wissali and Nicole's house for dinner and met their mom.  She is really sweet.  We also met a bunch of Cameron's previous companions.  One of his previous companions, Elder Torres, is a Brazilian version of Cam's friend Dan Hales.  It was crazy how similar they were and they even looked alike!
