That´s cool to hear that you have been preparing for the trip to Australia! I´m sure that it will be an incredible experience! That´s also crazy to hear that Dad´s going to be visiting Poland. I hope he is really making a positive impact with his visits through the Leavitt Institute. Thank you for the quotes from your lesson as well! There´s a quote in Preach My Gospel that I love that says all injustice is made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ!
We had a lot of firsts in the area this week for Elder Perales and I. First, we had two investigators accept baptismal dates in July! Woohoo! Julieta Arnol, a 40-year-old daughter of a recent convert, and Roxana, a 35-year-old daughter of a less active member both accepted baptismal dates. They still have a long ways to go, but it was really awesome to see the blessing of God as we worked to invite people to Christ and be baptized.
We also had our very first exchanges in the area. Elder Perales stayed in our area, Castelar, with another Peruvian,Elder Tuncar, and I went to Morón to be with Elder Chamberlain. Elder Chamberlain is from St. George, Utah and we met our very first day in the airport in Salt Lake! It was awesome to be able to work together for the first time in the mission but actually be able to communicate in spanish.
Elder Perales and I also had our first fast and testimony together in Castelar. The meeting this week was very spiritual and I really think a story of Christ from Matthew impacted me as a sat thinking in sacrament meeting.
In Matthew´s account Christ turns to his apostles and asks them who people say the Son of Man is. They respond that some say John the Baptist, others Elias, and others say that the son of man was another prophet. Christ then asks, "And who do you say that I am?" Peter responds, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!"
This phrase impacted me a lot this week- "You are the Christ. The Son of the Living God!". I want to represent Christ, the son of the living God. I am so blessed to be here and be sharing this message. At times I get distracted from my central purpose, but I know that´s why I am here. I hope and pray that we can remember our purpose! We are children of a God. He has given us the power to heal and improve through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus Christ.
I love you all from the bottom of my heart,
Elder Lambert
