Camron's letter......July 9, 201

Hola familia, This week was pretty good but it was a hot week to start out. We got to fly into Santa Cruz and when we got there it was really cold outside, ha ha.  We left like 100 degree weather and walked out into cold weather.  But Concilio was really good. We learned a lot and we even got to play soccer with Presidente Calderon and all of the other zone leaders. It was pretty cool because I made a goal and my comp gave me a great pass so I could score it. So when we came back from Concilio, it was still really hot in Puerto Suarez.  We didn't think the cold front would get here, but then everything changed on Friday and the cold weather arrived. It got really cold too, ha ha. Good thing I brought my winter clothing. Fortunately it wasn't too bad. We have been working hard and we were blessed to have a father and his two sons from the Lique family come to church. They really enjoyed being there and they like the church a lot. They even stayed the entire three hours. We were able to teach them last night. As we taught them they said they would be willing to be baptized once they knew more. They are humble and loving people and want to learn even though they are a little bit older. I'm sure they will be be baptized and become great members. I received some awesome news from my old comp, Elder Faálafua when I went to Concilio. He told me that they were able to baptize the Aguilar family. I was so happy when I heard that!  He told me that they taught their family with Presidente Calderón. They said at the beginning of the lesson that they wanted to be baptized but they just needed more time to learn. But Presidente told their family at the end of the lesson "you guys are going to be baptized next week, and I will baptize your daughter,  Elder Faálafua will baptize the dad, and his comp will baptize the mom." and they said,  "O.k. you're right. We need to be baptized." and they were baptized the 7th of July. It's amazing how much power Presidente Caldron has. He truly teaches with power and authority. But I am so excited to be able to see the Aguilar family again. It was truly a blessing to be able to teach them for two months. I was a little sad not to be able to see their baptism, but I'm content that they are now members of the church and on the straight and narrow path. We taught Soni yesterday (the Nigerian guy), and he already finished the whole Ensign that we gave him last week on the conference talks. He told us that one day he was having some trials and he just happened to read President Eyring's talk on Mountains to climb and he said after reading it, he felt so happy and content even though he was having a hard day. It truly shows the power that a General Authority has as well. I really hope that Soni will be able to be baptized in Nigeria, because he doesn't speak the Spanish language. He wants to be able to attend church there so he can understand what is being taught. He is such an awesome guy. Well I hope you guys have an awesome week, and always remember the worth of souls is truly great in the sight of God.   Love, Elder Christoffersen
