Hola familia, First of all, thanks so much for the fasts that you guys did because I honestly don't have back pain. The doctor said I was for sure going to need surgery. I also had dengue again! So I was not very happy. Worst of all, thinking I was gonna be going home because when there is a major surgery you go home without exceptions. But I don't know how, but every day, more and more, my back pain started going away.
I had a feeling you guys were praying for me at home because the doctor told me "your pain isn't going to go away until you get that surgery done." But I am feeling way good and I'm so excited starting off again with the service. Prayer is real and so is fasting! Thanks so much for your faith with works. They brought me a miracle. Speaking of miracles we have been able to be a part of a few. The amazing family that we were blessed to be guided to had really a lot of miracles in getting them to the church. The mom almost stopped listening to us three or four times. But because she showed her faith through letting us teach them and going to the church, God fulfilled his promises and they recieved a witness that these things are true. Like she was told, we are racist and there is always a gringo with someone who has darkened skin. My last comp, Elder Frost was really tan, so she believed the person. But then cambio emergencia, and Elder Hansen comes and he is as white or whiter than me. So that helped her to believe them again. She came to church and saw a member who got in a fight with her and almost went home because she was there. Then Elder Hansen and I looked and saw her right before she left, so she stayed. She told us if we hadn't seen her she would have just left. And last of all in the church she was thinking "If my kids really like their classes, and if my husband does too, maybe I will stay." They all said they loved it and her
husband said "this is where I'm staying." He had never gone to church before. It was so cool. The dad is awesome! He's never told us he had doubts. He just always tells us that he has feelings he's never felt before. "I don't know how to explain these feelings that I am having." He is truly fantastic. I love being able to teach this family. They even invited us to eat with them after church. We went and they made me my favorite food here, el Piquemachu mmmmmm! I took a picture too. They invited her dad who was way against Mormons. But we talked with him and he said to the mom, "get baptized" and told her he was just really surprised that Carmelo actually went to church, cause he hadn't and wouldn't go for 10 years or so they had been married. After my comp and I left their home, we both said the church is true It's so great how powerful this work is, and God is a part of it! This is so awesome wooooooooooooooo! haha. It was a good day. We also had the dad come from the Romero family and he told us that his wife an kids were going to come but they didn't make it. But he said he enjoyed church and I'm sure we will be able to help their family come too next week. We had another investigator come who's wife is paralized over half of her body. He said he liked church also, so maybe we will be able to get his family to come to church too. The work is moving on it's rolling like a rock cut out from the mountain side. A Couple funny notes.. an elder on the internet here is blasting church music with all the computer game music playing and it's pretty funny. It's loud but awesome. The other thing is that we taught some new converts yesterday and the dad and his family were members of a church that is almost as abominable as the Catholic church. It's like the second biggest here. But
he tells how he notices every day how blind all the other churches are and we could hear this rock music way loud from a rented stadium
where they were holding some church. The dad said that just like this church it's so rediculous how loud they play the music. It's like they think God is deaf and can't hear so well, haha. It was so funny because he said it so seriously too, haha. But I'm excited for this week. Cambios are Wednesday and our zone is working so hard, so I hope they don't change too many. But whatever happens, we will continue to work hard. We are truly being blessed as a zone and I hope we stay sufficiently humble so the blessings continue to flow. Thanks so much again for all you do. Love, Elder Christoffersen
