That´s sweet that you could have a nice lunch with Dad´s family. I love those pictures of Dad and grandpa out biking!! That´s so cool!! Glad to hear you have been doing some treatment to help with your back too. I´m grateful that you and Dad have always taught me to take care of my body. I´m really trying to follow your counsels here in the mission.
As for the change in mission presidents- it doesn´t actually happen until the end of this month. Presidente Robertson is going to be with us unitl the 30th of June. But when July starts we will start to work with Presidente Resek! Presidente Resek is from Rosario, Argentina, and has been in charge of the church translation department between spanish and english for several years. He actually has a son here in the mission who is going to be just finishing his mission when his parents arrive!
This week was really awesome with my new companion- Elder Ruiz. Elder Ruiz is from Ecuador, and his been here in the mission for 7 months. He comes from a family of 6, and is the oldest child in the family. His parents got baptized when he was 5-years-old and he is the first member of his family to serve a mission! He´s a very hard-working kid and we have been seeing some awesome miracles in our area this week!
Elder Ruiz and I have really been trying to make an effort to find families to teach, and we really saw some awesome miracles. Yesterday we felt impressed to contact a house and had the miracle of meeting Claudio, and his family (his wife, and daughter). Claudio is super tall (6´6") and as we presented him a pass-along card that said, "What is the purpose of my life?" he asked, "Do you have an answer to this question?" Almost as quickly as Elder Ruiz could say, "Yes" he invited us inside to talk about the question. We are very excited to see if Claudio and his family will keep increasing their faith in Christ!
In addition to Claudio, we have kept working with Walter, Claudia, and their two kids. To add to the excitement we were also able to meet a family of 6 the other day that invited us to come by and share our message. God is really blessing us as we have been seeking families to unite in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Yesterday the phrase from the scriptures- "I have engraven ye in the palms of my hands." really struck me. Jesus Christ will never forget us. He wants to remember the pain and suffering that he went through to save us- his brothers and sisters. I am eternally grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I will never be able to repay the sacrifice that he has made for me.
I love you all,
Elder Lambert
