Camron's FINAL letter


Hola familia, This week was a really good one. We worked really hard and we were very blessed. We were blessed to have Felipa and her son Gabriel to church yesterday and also the 9 year old son of a less active family that we are helping to reactivate. I am sure December will be a great month for my companion and it's truly because of the fruits of hard work. Maritza that was baptized last week was at church with her husband and they are both a lot happier than they were before. It's really a blessing to get to see converts keep the commandments in their lives and get to see the blessings that take place when they do. It was a great sacrament meeting yesterday too. The three young men that sent their papers in to become missionaries recieved their callings and all three are going to Venezuela, and they are all going into the mtc the 10th of April. Two of them are in the same mission. It was great to hear their testimonies and how excited they are to go out and serve the Lord. Another young man, Rodrigo comes out to teach with us once in a while and is almost done with his papers. He will be receiving the Melchesdek priesthood here in a couple weeks. It's great because he was less active and a convert. We helped him along with the help of the others that are preparing to go out on their missions. Now he is active and excited to go out on a mission of his own. We have found a lot of new investigators and they are pretty good investigators too. I showed the picture of the temple in Cochabamba to one of the fathers we taught and I felt like I should ask him what he thinks of when he sees this picture, and he said, "the house of God."  It was really cool to hear that someone who has never seen a temple and doesn't know anything about it, just by seeing a picture, knew it was the house of the Lord. What a priviledge we have as members in the kindgom of God to have His house always available to us. My comp now really wants to become a leader in the misison and I'm trying to help him so that he can become one. I'm sure that with the sincere desire that he has, that he will be a great leader. To become a great leader is all about humility, diligence, and obedience. With these three factors everything else comes in to play. I Love you guys and hope you have a great week!   Elder Christoffersen
  P.S. See you in person very soon......
