Vamos con toda la honda, Sept. 4, 2017

Hola Mamá y familia!!!
Great to hear from everybody this week! Thanks to everyone for your love and support. Elder Sparks and I finished our third week together hear, and we were able to see some great miracles! And we didn´t walk in rain up to our knees we rode our bikes in rain up to our knees! Our wheels were basically completely covered by the water! But the streets were only flooded like that in a few places.

We continued our visits with Caro and Lucas this week and they are making some great strides. The first step of faith was that Lucas asked his boss to not have to work on Sundays. It was a really big deal because here in the majority of the jobs they have expectations of working on Sundays and people have a lot of fear of losing their jobs and not being able to find work.

The biggest trial of faith right now for Caro and Lucas is that they need to get married. Caro really wants to get married, but Lucas still doesn´t feel ready to take the step. His parents married but then his father fell prey to addictions to drugs and alcohol- harming his marriage and the family of a Lucas. As a result of this, Lucas is afraid of taking the leap of faith and getting married. I hope that they can trust in God and keep this amazing commandment that God has given to us.

In addition to Caro and Lucas we met another young couple, Enrique and Ruth, from Paraguay, that are waiting for their first child. Enrique expressed very sincere desires to come to know God and to know God´s will for him. As we finished the lesson, Enrique offered a kneeling prayer that was very sincere. He asked to know if the message we shared of the restoration is true and to know what religion he should join. We´re excited to help him keep increasing his faith.
Sorry about another lack of pictures this week. I need to get better with that! I just get worried about taking my camera out with me because it´s been raining a bit more recently. I know that Christ lives and loves us! I want to keep looking to him as my standard of excellence instead of looking around. He is the perfect judge, and is there to lift us up and make us something greater.
Much love,
Elder Lambert
