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

Hola familia,  this week was pretty good and once again we had a lot of success. We also had a good time with President Caldron. He came up and presided over our zone conference. It's way cool because planes usually only come in to Puerto every other day, so he got to spend almost three days with us. Everything was really great. We learned a lot of good stuff and he's a lot more layed back because there are only 8 Elders in our zone (and you can't come to this zone unless you are obedient). So he relaxes a lot more when he is with us. He taught us quite a bit more about teaching. He is crazy good at teaching and pretty funny too. We all ate lunch together and I ate yakaré (which is alligator here) It was pretty good and tastes a little bit like fish. The zone here is working hard and we are seeing  many blessings from such work. I'm sure we'll continue to progress. It was so great because we had the familia Lique in church today and they enjoyed and accepted the invitation to be baptized the 4th of August. I hope all goes well with their baptism and that we will be able to help them get to that point. We also hope to be able to help them obtain the goal to go to the temple. We were able to teach Soni from Nigeria again, and he has already read two more Ensigns, haha. He says he loves them. His hesitation is that he has already been baptized and thinks that you can only do that once in your lifetime. But he says he is going to pray to see if God wants him to be baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ. He really wants to go to the conference center and watch conference. He says he will be in the U.S. this next year so maybe I will be able to attend conference with him. I truly hope the spirit will work through the words of the talks written by modern day prophets in the Ensign to help him know the church is true and that his family will be extremely blessed through the restored gospel. I know that he will be a great member of the church and be a great strength also. We have a baptism planned this week for this man named Mauro. He has been an investigator for quite a long time and with the help of his friend who is going to be baptized in another area here, he has built up the desire and strength to be baptized as well.  I hope that he can keep building his testimony and that we can help so that it's strong enough to carry him through faithfully in the church. I am excited for this week and I'm sure that we will be able to witness great blessings. I'm also excited to be able to tell you how everything goes next week. Love, Elder Christoffersen
