I only wrote Tuesday this last week because there was a holiday. Every so often if there is a holiday on a Monday a lot of the businesses don´t open and we can´t write. Don´t get used to Tuesday emails.
My second week in Francisco Álvarez has flown by. We were very blessed to be able to watch a multi-stake conference yesterday that was presided by Elder Rasband. It was an awesome experience and included Elder Gavarret- a seventy that spoke several times in Guaraní during his talk (a language that is spoken in Paraguay).
God blessed us to have two of our investigators- Caro and Lucas in the conference. It was the first time that Caro and Lucas have gone to church, and we had arranged to meet them at the train station to be able to travel to the conference together. We arrived at the train station, and didn´t see them there. We were a bit worried because we tried to call them but we were sent directly to their voice mailbox. As we waited, we saw in the distance two people- Caro and Lucas walking to the train station just in time to leave on the train with us. It was truly a great moment, and a big blessing that they could go and feel the blessings of honoring the Sabbath Day.
Besides that, we had an amazing miracle as we were also able to teach, Cristina, the mother of Melina, another investigator. This past week finished one year since one of the children of Cristina was killed when being robbed at gun point. The tragedy hurt Cristina deeply and she had been unable to sleep due to the stress when we arrived at her house. We were able to leave a prayer with Cristina, and I felt the spirit strongly as I asked God to bless her and her family. You could see the difference in her disposition as we finished the prayer. I´m excited to see her come closer to Jesus Christ as we continue to visit.

It was a great week with alot of rain. While you guys were able to enjoy the eclipse I was also able to joy the beauty of God´s earth as we experienced a torrential downpour this past week. It was a really awesome experience to go out to work- even passing through rain up to our knees in some of the streets, knowing that were doing the work of God.
I love you all! I hope that you can continue to follow your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
With all of my heart,
Elder Lambert
