Camron's letter.....April 16, 2012

Hola familia, This week ended with two great baptisms and they were also confirmed in church. I think this was the hardest baptism to get ready for because we had so many problems with the baptismal fonts. In our church it takes like 5 hours to fill up the font so we turn the water on and then we leave and come back later to turn it off. We cleaned it all up and came back and there was like a foot of water in the font so we knew we wouldn't be able to fill  it up in time. So we had to go to another church to use their baptismal font.  When we arrived, the font was dirty and it had about a foot of water in it that we had to remove and clean in about an hour before the baptism was scheduled to start. We were so stressed and flying to try to get everything ready in time. We finally go it done and flew in taxi to go tell our two investigators that plans had changed. We were so lucky that out of all the members we invited, the only three who actually have cars showed up to the baptism so they helped us drive everyone to the baptism. It was awesome! We baptized 16 year old Diana and 13 year Pablo. They are the only members in their families now. but in both families all of their family members showed up to see the baptisms. It was way awesome because when there is going to be a baptism of someone who is going be the only member of the family, they usually don't have anyone that is there to support them. But it really turned into an awesome baptismal service. We are now once again looking for investigators that are prepared to follow the gospel and live it's principals. I know that we will for sure find those who are prepared with hard work and obedience. Our zone is working really hard again and it seems like we will be having another awesome month. We are doing all we can to help the zone keep working hard and praying for the blessings. The Lord is definitely blessing us for our efforts. Time is flying by like crazy. It's truly amazing when you lose yourself in the work, that time doesn't matter much. It just goes by without even noticing. I am pretty thankful to be in plan 3000 in La merced. It's a great area and a great zone. I'm pretty sure that I will be here for another cambio. It's going be a good time and I look forward to the great experiences that will come this week. My comp and I have a lot of plans to become better missionaries and I'm excited to see how it will help us out. It's interesting how there is always room for improvement and always more that we can do to serve our Heavenly Father. Every time we are willing to do that, we will always be blessed more and more. So if you want more blessings improve on your callings and serve the Lord more and more. They will come. "He that loses his life for the Lord's sake will find it."  Love,  Elder Christoffersen
