May 8th - Mothers Day Call

Had an amazing video chat with Elder Lambson and his companions on Mothers Day.  He sounded and looked great.  It was neat to talk to his companion Elder Moreno and Elder Chota who was on special assignment the past 2 weeks with these full time Elders.  Elder Lambson's grandpa Linneer was at the house so he got to say hello too.  Very grateful for modern technology.

I got an email from Elder Lambson at 6:47am saying .........

Mom I am going to call you on the phone in about an hour to talk to you about the skype that will be on Thursday Christmas! So be ready and its only for 5 minutes today so don't freak out hahaha.
Love,
Elder Lambson :)

Ok, so I tried NOT to freak out when my cell phone rang and it was my Boy!!! We talked for 5 min and 36 seconds, he is so obedient!! He sounded great and already has an accent, he even said a few Spanish words in place of English while we were talking.


Here's his email update:

I got transferred to a new area and my zone is called central because we are the zone closest to the center of Lima! I love it! This zone is awesome and my new comp is pretty legit! He is from Ecuador! We are running and working out in the mornings and in our area there are lots of hills so we run up the stairs and there are literally some like the ones in Kung Fu Panda haha. My new pension is a super sweet old lady we call her Mamita. She only makes the best foods like all of the favorites that the missionaries like. There are some really cool members here, the meetings on Sunday need a little more organization and I'm going to help fix and improve somethings. My area is 5 times bigger than my old area so there is lots to do! My goal for this transfer is just to make everyone who I come in contact with know that they are loved children of our Heavenly Father, I just want to love the people and make them feel special. I love Spanish and I love talking to people. I stumble every once in a while with words but for the most part I´m basically fluent now. I'm telling jokes with the people, I'm teaching lessons, everything is just going amazing and I'm super happy! I love you so much cant wait to talk to you this Thursday! I'm going to be alright but I hope you don't get to trunky mom haha. Have an amazing week, and Merry Christmas!!


Love,


Elder Lambson :)

President Boswell called!

Wednesday night at 10pm President Boswell of the Peru, Lima East Mission called me.  He also called Kiels dad, Arden, to let us both know Kiel had arrived in Peru.  President Boswell told me he had 28 new Missionaries arrive today.  He met with each one of them then assigned them to their new Companions. Kiels companion is from Peru and knows the language and the Country.  I asked if Kiel was there at the Mission Home, he said, no he's gone to his apartment.  OHHH, makes me cry, happy, sad & scared tears. I know Kiel is in great hands and am so impressed.  President Boswell met with each of the new Missionaries AND called everyone of their parents (in our case, that was 2 phone calls).  Kiel will be able to email us on Monday his new "Pday",

Phone Call

As far as I know Elder Lambson is in Peru.  He called home Tuesday night and we were able to talk for about 15 minutes.  We put him on speaker and all of us (Dave, Parker, Alex, Michael Sullivan and Kaleen) talked and laughed together.  He said he was SO busy in the MTC.  He didn't have a chance to write in his journal the way he use to at home and he never wrote anyone a hand written letter.  He loved the MTC but is ready to get to Peru.  He loved his Spanish classes, said his teachers were the best!  He learned a lot of spanish and was able to bear his testimony in it.  He got sick once, and apparently so did the rest of the MTC.  There was a horrible flu going around that most Missionaries got.  He left the Mexico Airport at 11:50pm and was scheduled to arrive at 5:30am.  I had hoped he would email me letting me know he's safe and sound but I haven't heard from him yet (Wednesday 7pm).  I guess No News is Good News.
