This has been a very interesting week. Let me tell you about it.
Firstly, we went to Migración this week to take care of our passports and visas. I, and many other elders, got to sit outside in our suits on the coldest day since we got to Mexico City for somewhere around an hour and a half while our photos were being developed. We didn't get to eat any street food for fear that we would get sick. Now for the fun part. On our way home there were many sites to be seen: Cool architecture, interesting monuments, ruins in the middle of the city, and....some kind of protest.
As we were going along, I heard the elder right behind me start giggling. I looked out the window and what did I see? A bunch of people holding signs and dancing...... There was a distinct point at which the call "look away, Elder" was heard throughout the bus. I let you figure it out from there.
Beyond that, there were many spiritual experiences to be had through study, prayer, and hearing the words of our priesthood leaders. Elder Nelson addressed us yesterday and spoke briefly on family history and how, through but one conversion, we can do the work of salvation for many souls. That makes me even more happy that I will be able to serve somewhere where there is a temple.
I am leaving early early early in the morning on Monday for Monterrey! I am excited but nervous to start putting my training to use for real investigators.
Yo sé que Dios is nuestro Padre Celestial y nos ama mucho. Estoy agradecido por este oportunidad servir la gente de México.
Salud y amor,
Elder Sean Joseph Lambert
