I met this cute girl on the street, found out she is from Alberta, so we chatted, me being the awesome missionary i am, set up an appointment with her and got her contact info. Her being the awesome person she is, calls us up and invite us to dinner. We have a hoot of a time, we teach her and her husband (also from Alberta) about the restoration, we leave feeling jolly as can be. Try and set up another appointment and instead they say "hey, we are having a potluck at our house with all the friends from OUR church. want to come?" And we were like "do we want to come to a baptist potluck? Heck yes we do." (i was of course more professional and missionary like in my vocabulary) And i had sooo much fun. It was great! Everyone was super nice, they asked us questions about ourselves, we ate some good food. There was this guy visiting from Germany for a couple weeks and he asked me why i decided to go on a mission so i got to share my testimony with him and ended up teaching him most of the restoration. I bet none of ya have ever taught a resto lesson at a baptist potluck before.... (just kidding, kind of...)
There was this guy who was pretty intense though. They were talking about potatoes so i asked him if he was a farmer, and he goes on for 20 min telling me how he found Jesus in his life. (jesus told him to plant the potatoes) and then he said that he shows his love for God through singing so i said i would love to here him sing some time. And in the middle of the room he just starts singing this Christian song and he gets so into it he starts crying! In the middle of the room! And then when we were leaving he quickly moves his truck in front of our car, blast some music and starts belting this other Christian song, and starts crying again and got so emotional that after he gave us a big group hug and is just like "God bless you girls, God bless" IT WAS AWESOME. i had a great time...
Other than that, this week has been good. We have a girl on date for baptism! She is a student at STU and she is actually from Newfoundland, i just cant get away from those Newfies. She is a sweetheart though!
Did everyone watch the Worldwide broadcast that was on last night? It was amazing! He talked about having real intent in all we do. And it honestly is so important. On your mission, real desire and true intent is what makes the difference between a good missionary and a great missionary.
As you come closer to Christ you recognize that God really does have the power to change your desire and the intent of your heart. You just need to simply allow him into your life to do so. You need to ask for his help and be completely vulnerable to Christ and his everlasting atonement. I am so happy to be sharing a message that changes the course of peoples lives. The gospel of Jesus Christ can completely change someones life from destruction to everlasting and eternal happiness. What an amazing opportunity!!!!
I love you all, i miss you. Sounds like a lot of great and exciting things are going on and i am happy that everyone is doing well.
Love,
Sister Lambert
