Camron's letter.....March 12, 2012

Hola familia, This week was a pretty good week. Fernando is really ready for his baptism Saturday. It's going to be awesome. Something really cool happened this week too. Carmelo was going to have to go to work Sunday and they really need the money too, but Saturday at the end of the night, he told us yes, I'm gonna go to church tomorrow. It's way awesome how he is so willing to go to church and leave behind work even when he knows he can't make money going to church. This family will probably be the most loyal family to the church and to the Savior than any of the converts that I've been blessed to bring into the gospel with my comp. I also heard some good news from an Elder who worked in my first area his last Cambio. He told me that Ricardo and Jampier are both working on going on a mission and they are going out with the missionaries to do visits. I am so grateful to be able to help those who can go out and serve missions and also be able to bring to pass the salvation of many souls. It's pretty crazy how we will never be able to see the true effect that we  have on people when we serve the Lord and them at the same time. Every month that passes, I see more blessings that come from serving faithfully in the Lord's work. I have seen so many trials come to people and they are so depressed and sad but its crazy how all the hardest trials seem to go away with time. You just truly have to be patient and keep enduring and everything always ends up back to normal. We had some good lessons this week and we have found some great people. We're teaching this sixteen year old girl who has gone to church twice and seems to love the church. Also this 40 year old guy named Javier who is an incredible investigator, he just can't seem to get to church. But this week we will hit him strong with a good Sabbath day lesson, haha. Yesterday we had a cool Stake conference for all of Bolivia. It was in their stake center and Elder Holland gave a talk by satelite. He started off in Spanish and he was pretty bad with his accent. He even admitted it was bad, so he decided to let the translater do his job haha. But he ended in Spanish with his testimony. It was so strong and the spirit was burning very strongly. It's weird how I feel the spirit stronger in Spanish now than I do in English. I truly have realized my testimonio has grown so strong. Every time I hear a scripture recited that I use when I teach by the speakers, the spirit burns so strong. It's pretty crazy how faith turns from what you believe into what you know. But something pretty funny happened while we were in the primary. My comp was under a ceiling fan and one of the kids said "levante la mano (lift up your hand) haha. The kid wanted to see him get his hand hit by the ceiling fan. There is some funny stuff that happens here. Well things are going great with the work and the blessings are truly coming becaise of hardwork . I hope you guys have an amazing week, and April conference is soon!   Love, Elder Christoffersen
