Hola Mamá y familia!
When I went to my second area, Santos Lugares, I also lived with Elder Soberanas. He wasn´t my companion but we lived together. He´s from Gold Coast (basically Brisbane), Australia. I had mentioned that you guys could visit his family when you visited Australia.
My new area, Altos de Merlo is in the city. Merlo is a very humble part of Buenos Aires. My area is incredibly good for missionary work; I´m very excited to be able to finish my mission inviting the people of Altos de Merlo to come to Christ.
We had a great miracle my first day in the are. I had prayed to be able to find someone who will be baptized, and Elder Soberanas and I went out to proselyte. We walked two houses from our apartment and felt to stop and knock.
A woman came out who turns out had investigated the church when she lived in Formosa (a different province of Argentina), and all of her family are members except for her. Additionally, she already is friends with the Primary president, and still has contact with the elder that taught and baptized the other members of her family- who is currently a bishop.
After visiting with her a couple more times this past week she told us that when we arrived at her house Tuesday, she was passing for a particularly difficult time. Recently she has faced problems with clinical depression, and we arrived right when she was having an attack of depression. She read in The Book of Mormon and was able to feel the healing power of our Savior Jesus Christ.
This woman´s name is Victoria. The faith of Victoria was strong enough that even though there was a huge storm that flooded the streets on Sunday she was still committed to going to Church and participating.

It was a really incredible miracle. I know that God put Elder Soberanas and I in the right place at the right time so that Jesus Christ could work in the life of Victoria. I´m extremely excited to be able to keep helping her and her family to come unto Christ.
I love you all! Thanks for all your love! Keep looking towards Christ! He will give you the power to overcome any difficulty!
Con todo mi amor,
Elder Lambert
