Hola Mamí y familia!

Glad to hear about all the great things you were able to do over Fall break! Thanks for your efforts to go and clean up! I forever have Dad´s words burned into my mind- each of us having to pick up 5 things, etc. A lot of people making small efforts makes a big difference.

As for your question, Enrique´s probably about 25-years-old. He has definitely faced some difficult circumstances in his life. We´re excited to see if he can keep progressing.

Elder Holmes and I had some great moments this week. One of the best moments was preparing the Barro family to attend church this past Sunday. We wanted to overcome the barrier that had been preventing them from attending- a part of which was just lack of knowledge as far as how to arrive to the Church. 

As a result, we arranged to stop by their house in the morning during the week, and we made the trip with them in bus to the church. With the ward Elder´s quorum president with us, we showed them around the chapel, and finished in the sacrament room talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

I really felt peace as we were in that room together and talk about the sacred ordinances of baptism and the sacrament. We could feel the spirit as we invited them to go to church and keep the sabbath day holy. I really felt like that step was what we needed to finally get them over the hump and have them in sacrament meeting. 

Skip forward to Sunday morning and the heavens opened up! They came to church for the first time! It was such a big relief and it was so great to see the fellowshipping that some of the members did with them. They´re such great people and we are so excited to be working with them. I´ll have to get a picture with the family to send to you guys.

I know my Savior lives! I know that he has power! I know that the Book of Mormon contains his word! May we all allow the words of our Savior sink deep into our hearts!

Much love,

Elder Lambert
