27 July 2015 - the magic of exfoliating


Dearest Darlingest Friends and Family,

So, life goes on in San Bernabé. We have been doing a lot of good work and having a lot of success in all areas. It is very different here than in Los Andes.

San Bernabé is somewhere around four times the size of my first area. It is located in the same Municipio as the City center of Monterrey (I think) and it consists mainly of old industrial...stuff. The people here are a mixed bag, but it is mostly fairly humble circumstance. This is not ALWAYS the best of things because, well, you know Mexico and her cerveza.....

We are officially into the middle of the hottest part of the year, and I am in a constant state of....gross....but that's OK because the work continues to progress really well. We have to walk a LOT more than I used to, but that is also OK because Elder Mendoza is the first companion that I have had that actually shares similar interests and with whom I can talk very openly. We spend a good amount of our time walking talking about church history and gospel subjects and then the other half of the time about video games and movies and comics and stuff(and then trying to relate them to said gospel subjects). Elder Mendoza is fun guy.

Last night (I'm sorry I didn't get a photo) he taught me the magic of exfoliating. A sister in another ward taught him the art one day and now my face feels smoother than I thought was possible....and all we needed was some sugar and a lemon. It was great.

Sé que el Libro de Mormon es un tesoro preciosa, y que podemos cercarnos mas a Dios por medio de él que por cualquier otro fuente. Sé que la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias realmente es el reino de Dios en la Tierra.

Los amo,

Elder Lambert
