Hola familia, This week was another good week. We were able to have zone conference with president and our zone is being blessed with baptisms again. We are working hard and trying all that we can to find those who have been prepared by the Lord. We had an awesome investigator go to church this week too. His name is Don Hugo Ferriera. He is the father of Katia, she is the mom of the Guaristy familia that we were able to baptize. The crazy thing to is that he is now going to church and he has a baptismal date, and he is fighting to stop smoking and drinking coffee. It's way cool that after taking his daughter out of the baptismal font over 26 years ago so she couldn't be baptized, he is now wanting to go to church and be baptized. I truly hope that everything will go well for him so that he can quit smoking and drinking coffee. He is a really awesome guy. He lived in the jungle for a much of his life so he didn't have a church to go to, but he always sent a little bit of money into poor commnities to try and help out those who were in need. He has always believed in God and tried to keep the commandments. I feel truly blessed to be able to teach him the restored gospel and do everything I can with my comp to help him follow it. Fernando was just interviewed for the preisthood and it seems like he will be ordained a deacon next week. His dad Carmelo is blessing the sacrament and it's way cool because they come to church in church clothes with their white shirts and ties. It always makes me happy to see a whole row filled with their family. I'm sure they will always be a big help to their ward. I'm feeling good! It seems like everything is going well in the mission, and I'm very happy that my back is feeling a lot better and that I'm able to work with ease. I will probably stay in this zone for another cambio. So that means that I have a good 6 months here and that I've had 6 months in Bajio, Riberalta, and La Merced. It looks like I might have just four zones in 2 years, ha ha. It will be great! Well thank you for all you guys do, and have an awesome week! Love, Elder Christoffersen
