Wow, I received a lot of crazy news from all over the place this week! It´s so weird to hear news about things like the NBA and school in the United States. They aren´t even on my radar until Mondays hit. That´s awesome that Landon is going to be working with Aspiro outdoor therapy. I am praying a lot that Connor can get into a great program! He is an awesome student and an even better person! I know that God will guide his path!
As for my days being numbered in Santos Lugares- the reality is that normally my mission president never leaves someone in an area for more than three transfers. This transfer is currently my fourth transfer in Santos Lugares- even though I have been in both areas of the ward. As a result, it´s very likely I´ll be transferred after this transfer, but it´s not set in stone. It´s still possible that I´ll stay here longer.
As for this week the big event was...drum roll please...Gustavo got baptized!!! It was awesome to be able to share a part of the day Saturday with him as he chose to be baptized and then to be able to be there as well as he was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ and received the gift of the holy ghost.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that Gustavo can be an example of Jesus Christ to guide his kids for all of his life. He is in a tough position has a single father of 5, but I know that God loves him and wants his kids to follow this example that Gustavo is setting.
After the baptism Saturday and confirmation Sunday things got started off very differently this week. Yesterday was "Labor Day" here in Argentina, and basically every store was closed. We ended up having to only do a partial preparation day yesterday and finish today. That´s why I didn´t get a letter out to yall yesterday- sorrry!
However, God really blessed for working yesterday with the holiday! We were able to find five new people to teach, and had an amazing lesson with one of them- a man named Adrian. Adrian started off our lesson with him by quoting what sounded like the entirety of a chapter from the Gospel of John. Later in the lesson he quoted what sounded like a whole chapter of Psalms from memory as well! It was a pretty crazy experience, but he was very open to our message and showed a really sincere love for Jesus Christ.
I feel like I´m missing so many things to tell from this past week but my time to write today is coming to end. I love you all! Thank you all so much for loving and believing in me! Keep supporting and helping one another! Help someone that you have never met before! Do something small today to be a little bit more like Jesus Christ!
Much love,
Elder Lambert
