Camron's letter.......June 11, 2012

Hola Familia, This week was pretty good and it was the coldest week that we've had all year. But today we will finally get to see that good old sun that we haven't had in like 3 weeks! haha. But they say after three days of sun we will go right back to the cold. We have been working really hard as companions, and we have been blessed to see the fruits of our labors. We have been able to teach a lot of families this week and it was way cool. All of these families actually want to become better people and want to come unto Christ.  We have just gotten a "Leader" of the mission work and he came with us this week, and we taught some great lessons. You can truly see that every time you bring a new member with you to teach, the spirit is always so much stronger and the new member can relate a lot more to the investigators. All of the sacrifice you make to magnify your calling will always be worth it. We taught with Carmelo Guaristy and even though he's only been a member 3 months, he has been the best member to bring with us to teach. He just always follows the spirit and teaches and shares experiences from his heart. It just makes the lesson so much better. It's so crazy to see how he hasn't ever gone to any church here, which is rare and he can be so receptive to the spirit. Just goes to show that knowledge about the bible and the gospel alot of the times alone, won't make us more receptive to the spirit. It's the actions that we take to be humble and keep the commandments that will help us achieve the ability to be receptive to the spirit. We've been seeing how much the Lord has been blessing our zone for our efforts. Things are going really good. We are working with a lot of unity and we are excited to become an even better zone. Cambios are this Wednesday and I'm pretty sure that I will be transfered now and maybe even be moved out of Santa Cruz to be a zone leader elsewhere. That would be really cool. But if I stay here I will still work hard and will be happy to be able to keep working with the families that we've been able to find. I'll also keep helping and trying to be an example for the zone "La merced". A dónde me mande iré Señor. I am thankful for all of the blessings that I have recieved and I know it'ts because I have been given much, and I too must give. The best thing you can give is your time to help someone come unto Christ. What a blessing it is to give more and receive spiritual blessings. Thanks so much for all you guys do for me. Please try to give more this week because you also have been given so much.   Love, Elder Christoffersen
