Hola mamá y familia!
Glad to hear that you had a beautiful weekend! Utah has so many beautiful places to visit. I´m really glad that growing up we could go and visit so many of the beautiful mountain ranges, etc. I like getting away and getting out to nature every so often.
As for the weather here there isn´t much to talk about. However, I did experience one of the craziest storms of my life yesterday. Out of nowhere Elder Winward and I were hit by really powerful winds, and a TORRENTIAL downpour. Within a half hour the streets were totally flooded. We had to immediately head back to our apartment because it was dangerous to stay outside. It was honestly hard to even breath as we tried to bike/walk to the house because of the combination of wind and rain that hit us.
Besides that though, the weather has been a weird mixture of rain some days, and heat the next day. We never know exactly what to expect.
As for the missionary week here- Elder Winward and I had an AMAZING week! God blessed us so much! I wish I could share more details, but I´ll just have to settle with a short recap.
This past Saturday and Sunday our investigator Nicolas was baptized and confirmed! Making the experience even more gratifying- our two investigators Celeste and Morena passed their baptismal interviews and will be baptized this coming Saturday!
As if Elder Winward and I weren´t already ecstatic- God blessed us that two other investigators- Aura and her daughter Bri (a Colombian woman and her 14-year-old daughter) attended church as well! It was an incredible experience and Chacabuco has a very bright future!
As is normal, when I´m hitting my high point there is a change. This last week was the final of this transfer and I will be leaving today in order to head back towards the office of the mission. Tomorrow I will be in "Altos de Merlo" with a new companion- Elder Soberanas from Australia.
I´m very grateful for all of the people that I could meet here in Chacabuco. I am grateful that I could work with all of my heart, might, mind, and strength in this part of the Lord´s vineyard. I know that Christ lives. He is guiding your lives. If we allow Him to take charge of our lives He will do it. He has paid the price, and is happy and willing to carry us in our moments of trial AND triumph.
I love you all! I hope that you are growing closer to your Savior Jesus Christ every day!
-Elder Lambert
