Elder Lambert's Slide Down the Mountain - 16 February 2015

Goooooooooood morning friends and family!!!!!

Its actually mid afternoon right now, but...you know.

Todays P day adventure was a zone activity. We took a bus up to a big mountain resort/camping area where we were going to make burgers...until we discovered that the grills had been covered with cement....So we ended up going to the mission offices and using theirs. I got to see a member of my old CCM district at the offices, so that was fun. We did have a lot of fun atop the mountain, though. There were giant cement slides that we all enjoyed very much due to their inherently dangerous nature...I totally didnt almost injure myself....(sarcasm).

Also, I never realized how huge Monterrey was until I was at the top of the mountain! This city is set in a huge mountain valley and spans for miles, with a very distinct "downtown" type area set up only a few miles from the mountains. If my camera worked, I could show you.

It should probably be noted that Thursday was....My Birthday!!! Yaaaaaaay! It rained the whole day and I was freezing, but me and the other three elders went out for the special tacos native to Monterrey called campachanas at the end of the day, so all was well. 

One of our most quickly progressing investigators did not show up to church this week, so we have to extend his baptismal date another week, but another investigator has said that she wants to be baptized asap and we are doing a family home evening with her and her family this tonight (one of her sons and her brother were recently baptized and we are working with her other son). Truly the adversary works hard on our investigators, but truly the Lord blesses them all the same.

Se que Dios es nuestro padre amoroso y que El quiere que podemos regresar con El. Se que los desafios en la vida son importante por nuestro bien y que podemos aprender mucho cuando tenemos un buen actitud.

Los Amo mucho, 

Elder Sean Lambert
