A Long and Challenging Week 4 May 2015

Dearest Friends and Family,

This week has been a good one, if not a bit long.

We have had to drop a number of investigators this week for various reasons. The reality is that there are some people in the world that have been placed in a path to receive the gospel and bless the lives of their family, ancestors and friends because of it, but others have been prepared in the opposite direction by an opposite force. As missionaries it is our job to find those people that have been prepared in some way to receive the message of the restoration and give it to them. So, sometimes, we find that someone who we once thought had been prepared to receive the gospel was actually not quite there. It is a sad reality that all people entering the mission field will learn.

On a brighter note, we continue to find people with promise and will continue working with them. It is a truly rewarding experience to find a person, teach them, and see them come to realize the truthfulness of the message. 

A bit of facts about the mission, in case anyone was wondering: Our house here in Los Andes is located in the middle of the line area between the ghetto area and the larger nicer homes. It's livable, but I have seen nicer mission homes. Our Zone leaders home is a mansion, comparatively. We also live exclusively on the second floor. It's like a weird duplex thing. And, no, we do not have more than one companionship. That's actually not allowed in our mission. 

Sé que la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Dias es la Iglesia de Jesucristo en la Tierra hoy. Sé que los recursos de la Iglesia son inspiradas por el Espiritu Santo.

Los Amo, 

Elder Lambert
