Dearest Friends and family,
This week has been fun stuff. Let me tell you about it.
So, we started the week out (I fortgot to tell you last Monday) with an impromptu zone activity where a few recent converts and investigators showed up. It was interesting.
THEN, I get a call on Wednesday from the general secretary of the mission telling me that I had to come to the offices to sign some visa papers. You know what that means? It means I am coming up on the half way mark!!!! For many missionaries (myself included) that thought is terrifying.
So, I went to the mission offices and signed some papers and have been praying ever since that I signed them well enough that the people don't think that they were forged and send be back to the states. I got to see some of my "Brothers" from the mission (the missionaries with whome I arrived) and we had a good ol time.
For those who have never experienced the joy of training a new missionary, let me tell you how that works: First off, in our mission, we are not notified of the changes until the night before they happen, so I find out right before it happens that I have to head to the mission offices to pick up my "kid." The process of in field training takes 12 weeks, or two changes. After that, I will likely become a regular old senior companion. We are given an extra hour to study in the morning so that I can teach my kid how to be a missionary before we actually go out and DO missionary stuff. It's fun at times, and at others, it's extremely difficult. This is the first time I have been in charge of an area and what's more, my comp doesn't know the lessons. Things are interesting, to say the least.
Sé que el Señor Jesucristo vive. Sé que El nos ama y que El sufrió por cada uno de nosotros. Sé El nos apoya en nuestros momento dificiles.
Los Amo,
Elder Lambert
