I´m glad to hear that things continue to progress at home! I really like that story of the young man who took a small step to help him make bigger steps in his life. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass!
This week was a week filled with surprises and milestones. Elder Elliott and I were having an incredible day this past Tuesday and were able to meet several new families that accepted to visit with us for the first time. As has happened many times in my mission- just as we were hitting new milestones as a companionship a change came. Tuesday night we received a call that Wednesday we would be going to the offices and that Elder Elliott would be leaving to another area, Ituzaingó, and that I would be receiving a new companion, Elder Winward.
After a lot of traveleing to go to and from Buenos Aires to Chacabuco Elder Winward and I were able to get back to work. Elder Winward is from Mapleton, UT and has about a year and a half on the mission. He´s incredibly smart and has a great memory. When he was in high school he would read an entire book about every two days and has a goal since he was a young kid to read 1 million pages ( He is currently at 300,000 on his count).
Back in Chacabuco Elder Winward and I were able to have a one-of-a-kind experience. With our ward mission leader we went to a local radio station and were able to promote our upcoming family history workshop that we will be doing Sunday. At the end of our visit the host asked me to offer a prayer. I never thought in my life I would be praying on a radio station, especially in spanish. But it felt really cool to be able to pray for the people of Chacabuco.
We are continuing to work with Cristian, Karen, Rodolfo, and Antonio. Unfortunately none of them made it to church this past week and thus will not be able to make it to baptism this coming weekend. However, God blessed us to be able to meet an awesome young man named Emanuel who attended church for the first time! He is 13-years-old and has a lot of desires to be baptized!
I know that God lives and is blessing us in abundance here in Chacabuco. It is a beautiful place and I feel that God is pouring out his Spirit over his children so that they can be baptized by his proper authority. I am excited to continue to share with you the miracles that are happening here. Thanks for being examples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Much love,
Elder Lambert
this is great!
