That´s cool that you get to spend a few days in Denver. I love visiting different places around the world, and it always is super exciting to go to church in different places and see how God loves his children everywhere in the world! There are great people all over the place!
Mom! You were cheering for the Jazz!? I´m just kidding. I get a little stressed hearing about the NBA honestly, but I would appreciate it if you would keep supporting the righteous decisions of Stephen Curry haha.
To follow up the baptism of Gustavo, we have been working with him to integrate himself into the ward a bit more (prepare him to receive a calling, the priesthood, do baptisms for the dead, etc.), and at the same time we have been working to help a few other people prepare themselves to be baptized.
One of our other investigators that is progressing a lot towards baptism is Marcial, a young peruvian man of 28-years. Marcial lives by himself and moved to Argentina a few years ago to find better work opportunities. He has a sister that is a member and lives in Peru, and the missionaries had visited him a couple of times in the past before we stopped by.
The coolest miracle with Marcial this week was being able to see the power of the testimonies and help of the members. We have been asking a peruvian family that lives near Marcial to help him by walking with him to church with him and to visit him with us. The father of this family, Vladimir, bore a testimony about how faith is belief and action during Elder´s quorum and I really felt the spirit because I knew the Vladimir lives his faith. He does not only talk about Jesus Christ, but he strives to help other people believe in and follow Jesus Christ.
In addition to Marcial, we had the awesome blessing of another investigator, Yolanda, read in the Book of Mormon and attend to church this past week. It was another win for members because we had the blessing that one of the other members, Hector Vitello, was willing to walk with her to church. Yolanda is a very sweet woman- she is very thoughtful about how she can help make the world a better place. She is constantly involved in charity organizations, etc. She has faced some difficult things in her life in her family situation, but we had an amazing lesson where we could testify about the healing power of the atonement to heal wounds that we feel when others don´t choose to live the gospel.
Overall, another great week in the books. I´m very grateful for all of you. Elder Priebe and I continue to put our shoulder to the wheel to invite others to Jesus Christ. Thank you for being examples of Him. Keep looking for ways to be a little more like Him each day.
With all my love,
Elder Lambert
P.S. Sorry I don´t have more pictures. It´s really hard to find a cable to buy to replace the one I lost in order to charge my camera. I´m working on it the best I can.
