Hola Mamá y familia!!
During the meeting we were able to speak about ministration in the first hour, the law of sacrifice in the second hour, and then we had a beautiful testimony meeting. While there were few people at the meetings (14 people total), I have very rarely felt so incredibly grateful to be in church and be able to partake of the sacrament. I truly felt like the church was a refuge from the storm and that I was able to become a little bit more like my Savior Jesus Christ.
Sounds like you were able to finish off a great spring break! That´s awesome that Connor is heading up to Canada for his PhD. I´m really excited for him. He´ll have to get to know the family of one of my former companions- Elder Sparks. I´m pretty sure he will be up there close to where they live.
That´s also really awesome that you could all go to the temple open house. In the first half of my mission we would visit the temple about every 4-6 months, but recently the temple presidency set some new rules that don´t allow us to go to the temple. Since that time I have remembered often how much peace I have felt in my life when I have been able to attend the temple. One of the best decisions that I made was to start going to the temple weekly when I was living in Provo. I know that it allowed me to do what God wanted me to do in my life.
We have been visiting with Franco and Nicolas still, and Nicolas has been progressing a lot! We passed by every day possible this past week, and Saturday when we arrived we gave him a blessing because he was feeling sick. When we got to his house Sunday morning the rain was pouring down but without batting an eyelash he said, "Let´s go." threw on a jacket and rode his bike in the pouring rain with us.

I´m so grateful for the sacrifice of my Savior Jesus Christ. I have been so blessed by my Savior and the millions of other people that have sacrificed of themselves so that the world can be a more Christ-like place to live. I hope that I can be willing to sacrifice of myself so that others might come unto Christ and be saved. I´m excited to keep visiting with Nicolas and I hope to see him and many other people experience the blessings of the atonement in their lives by repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus.
I love you all! I hope that you all can continue to follow our Savior daily!
Much love,
Elder Lambert
