Hola familia, This week was pretty good. I received my last transfer and I was sent back to Santa Cruz.  It's gonna be a great transfer.  My new companion's name is Elder Yamberla. He's from Equador and what is really cool is that he can have long hair!. So he has this pony tail looking thing and it's way cool. He is the only one in the mission that can have long hair. It has to do with his culture. But he is a great companion, he works hard,and we get a long. We are teaching this couple. The husband is a member but his wife isn't and this week they are going to get married. Afterwards, she is going to be baptized. It's going to be great. They have the best last name ever. I have wanted to teach a family with this last name my whole mission. It's Paniagua which means "bread and water" its the best. But they are really awesome and they are going to be great members. They truly want the gospel in their lives and I am sure it will really help them out a lot. The weather here is a lot cooler. It's like 100 degrees and it feels a load better. There has just been a lot of wind lately and here in Santa Cruz there is sand. So it lifts up in the air and hurts when it gets into your eyes. But it's worth it having the wind to cool things down. It's funny too because my area is right next to plan 3000, my area before Puerto Suarez. But the members are great and I'm sure we're going to have a good cambio. Well I look forward to talking to you guys next week. See you later.       Love,   Elder Christoffersen
