Hola Familia. This week was pretty crazy. Elder Pino and I worked hard together for the first three days of the week and we were workig with great investigators too. I was not too interested in the transfers because I had another month in the training program that just came out. I bought all my food and was all relaxed when the zone leaders called. They said that I had a cambio, and I said "you're lying" and he said "ya I am, but seriously you have a cambio." The president called me to be a zone leader in Santa Cruz. Mycompanion is elder Frost from Monticello Utah. He is only 5 months older than I am and he has had 3 months more in the mission then I do. He is alot like me. He's into sports alot and played basketball, baseball, and some football.  But his personality is a ton like mine too, so we get  along really well. I am really glad too because I'm sure he will help me out a ton. He's a great teacher and an awesome hard worker. I'm excited for this transfer and I'm sure I will develop into an even better teacher and a better worker. But we taught some new investigators this week and 3 of them went to church. One of them is 56 and she is awsome. She is has been impressed by the service that our church members do and how the church is. She has a baptismal date for 21 de January. She seems like she is a golden investigator . Also this mother and her 8 year old daughter are way awesome. The daugther reads like a 14 year old. It's crazy. She is always reading at church. She sat next to me and read the Gospel Principles book haha. I was surprised and she did a great job too. Her family has a lot of health problems, so they are very humble right now. The husband didn't get to come because he was baking bread to sell. He needed to make money to pay some medical bills. But she told us that he will be coming next Sunday. Our zone has 16 missionaries in it. They a few cambios a while back and had 18 so it's pretty big. There 3 missionaries from my zone in Bajio so I was really happy to get to see them. This zone is way awesome with a lot of hard workers. I'm sure we will have a lot of success with this transfer. But thanks a lot fot all the support. Hope your holidays were awesome. I know why I'm here. I will serve with all my heart. Elder Christoffersen
