May 23, 2016 - One month and 3 days until his Homecoming Talk

So this week we taught in the 7th story of a 16 story building. We are contacting lots and lots of people sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they can have a better life. There are some who are prepared, and some who are humble enough to allow them selves to be prepared. You could say we are "sifting through the mud to find the gold." There are some great people here. This week we talked with many many new people and we were able to take out many visits to return, we arrived to many doors and many were not able to receive us, but we keep inviting, sharing, and searching. There are people who the Lord is preparing and if we show him that we really want to find them he will put them in our path. 

This week we met a lady and her 2 daughters, they are awesome, they are a true miracle and proof that the Lord is guiding us. We were able to teach them twice this week and help them understand the importance of gospel in our lives and they have a baptismal date for the 11th of June! Like coach Day taught us we have to have URGENCY! Every second counts, you have to give it all until the final whistle!!

It was an awesome week! We went and played soccer and rugby at this little field in the middle of no where! We did a multi zone and got to play against Elder Jolley whos the zone leader in Chaclacayo.

We were able to work with J  and her family this month to be able to help some of them reactivate and feel the spirit and her mom asked her if she wanted to be baptized so we started teaching her. She shared in her little testimony that ever since her mom told her that she just felt something so special in her heart that she needed to do it. It has been a blessing to know their family :)

So the week started out great with a fun p day, playing soccer and a little bit of rugby. Then we were able to work really hard to the last moment, Elder Golden already knew he was going to be transferred but he kept working hard this week and we were able to find some great part member families to rescue the members and baptize who hasn't received that blessing yet :) Its my favorite way to work :)

We received the transfers today! Im staying here in Vitarte and my new companion is named Elder Carter, from Idaho! So this is his first time being a zone leader, its going to be fun to teach him everything that I just barely got out of learning haha. We´ll see how this goes!! Its going to be awesome!! :) I am very confident that we are going to have a great transfer and I know that we are going to meet every one of our goals. It is necessary to be confident, but not in your self, in the Lord. This transfer will be 7 weeks long instead of the normal 6! I will keep you up on the details!! Love you!! Have an amazing week!

We had a great week. I taught my first zone meeting this week with my companion, it was really cool!! We talked about going back to the basics. We did a cool example with my rugby ball we all went to the field out side and passed the ball around. I taught everyone how to throw it the right way. Then we applied the example by asking them how they felt learning something new, if it was hard, and then how important it is to have the basics down because imagine having opposition, you have to make a good pass to the outside when there are people coming to hit you. The basics here are all in Preach my Gospel, and we need to remember how great of an importance is the Book of Mormon. I know its true!! Its the keystone and it is the way for God to testify to his children through the Holy Ghost that this is the True Restored Gospel on the earth today. I love it!! 

I love you guys so much!! Have an amazing week and put goals to keep reading the Book of Mormon!

Portion of a letter Elder Lambson sent to some family friends.
Things are going amazing, I love every second. I am learning a ton with my new companion and we are working very diligently. I have never managed my time better before. All things are possible if we put priorities and determination to do whats right. Diligence is key, organization, cleanliness, and punctuality.

The picture is for the kids haha. This is my agenda for this transfer, I always like to decorate my agendas, but this one is extra special.

Talk to you next week! We are headed to the temple :)

This was an amazing week!! Another amazing week I should say, because every week is amazing here! Amazing in every way you could think of. Amazing experiences, amazing sights, amazing differences, amazing people, amazing miracles.

We had another baptism this week. E, she is the best!!! She is 24 haha even though she doesn't look like it. She has been meeting with the missionaries for almost 4 months and has always come to church but never wanted to get baptized because her whole family is catholic and just so much pressure, but we were really able to be guided by the spirit to say exactly what she needed to here to give her the strength to take this leap of faith and truly trust in God 100% and the biggest influence against her baptism was her Mom, but guess who came to watch her, thats right, her mom. If you trust in the spirit, he will guide you. Live worthy, show him that you deserve his guidance and it will come.

I feel like the Book of Mormon prophets writing in the Gold Plates saying "And hundreds of other things happened that we can not reveal" because so much happens every week and I cant tell you everything haha, just know that the work is amazing, my Paraguayan companion is awesome (he is as old as Alex by the way) and that we are super feliz ;) 

The Ward is the best and the work is progressing! Like I told you, this Ward has lots of difficulties, so what we have been really focusing on is the attitude! Attitude determines everything!! Grandpa just sent me a quote by President Thomas S. Monson that says "So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference." Its so true!!! I was so inspired by the story of the rugby state championship (we emailed him the story from  May 13, 2015 The Spectrum http://www.thespectrum.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/05/10/warrior-rugby-plays-herriman-state-title/27076169/ ) , we (SCHS Rugby Team) have never been the biggest, we have never had the most amazing athletes, but what makes all the difference is the Heart. The attitude and the will we have to go out and win no matter what the circumstances! 2 Nephi 2:11 it is necessary an opposition in all things! Face them with a great attitude and see the difference!

Love you so much! Keep Enduring! Have an amazing week!
