Camron's letter.....May 21, 2012

Hola Familia, This week was pretty good. My comp and I worked really hard and the Lord truly blessed us for our efforts. We were finally able to get some investigators to go to church with us. We had a mom and dad come to  church and they're really great investigatores. They're pretty interested in our message and are willing to be baptized if they come to know that this message is true, and that we are in the only true church. But they said that they really enjoyed church and that they have a lot of questions for us to answer. Mostly about what the talks were about.  It was ward conference yesterday so they spoke about Temples and the temple work for the dead, so I'm pretty sure the next time we teach them we'll have to explain a lot. We also had this 16 year old girl that is the sister in law of the owner of the house we rent out. He and his wife are members but they are not active and haven't gone to church in a long time. But we taught the dad with his sister in law, Diana and he told us that he and his wife will go back to church and they are going to support the sister in law to be baptized. It will be great to see them go to church because they haven't in such a long time. We also returned to this family who went to church back in January and they seem to be excited to go to church again and start to follow the gospel. We had a great lesson and they seemed to understand everything that we taught them, They expressed  that they truly want to change their lives around with their family. We hope everything will go really well with them. We had a pretty rough day yesterday however. We couldn't seem to get in to teach for like 7 hours and we had appointments planned out for every hour too. No one was able to listen to us. But I know that the bad days will always come and they will just open many doors to many blessings. I have thought a lot lately about how everyone says that satan tempts us and that people give into his temptations, and this happens to everyone. But if you look at it the other way around, God is just trying to strenghthen us and give us the opportunity to recieve more blessings, and too many times, we give up that opportunity. Everything that happens to us in this life and everything that God does is to bless us and strenghthen us. That's why it's so important to just always keep the commandments and endure through the hard and rough trials and sufferings so that everything will be for our good. It's interesting to know that everything that happens in our lives is for our good. Every consequense that we recieve whether it is good or bad is to help us and to bless us with the purpose from God to help us come unto his son, Jesus Christ. Well I'm excited to tell you next week how this week went. I'm sure it will be full of great blessings, hard work, and faith. Have an awesome week. Love,  Elder Christoffersen
