November 9th... Finally found good mexican food on the east coast

Hello Everyone :)

What a good week this was!! The week itself was slightly uneventful but at church we had 2 less actives, an investigator and a potential who we met on friday attend :) So the Sunday really made up for the rest of the week!! 

I cannot remember if i mentioned this in last weeks email... if i did i am going to emphasize the excitement of it again... WE FINALLY FOUND GOOD MEXICAN FOOD IN THE EAST COAST. I feel that only those who have served here will understand this excitement... but it really is quite wonderful. We went there this week to celebrate Sister Fenn's 18 month mark!! It sure is a mix of emotions hitting these point in your mission... tomorrow i hit my 14 month mark and my plan is to pretend that its my 4 month mark.... woohooo for 4 months!!

This week we went to an international student event at Dal, and they have this program where once a week a bunch of international students come together and basically just talk... (to practice their English)  and so obviously it is the perfect place for us to go!! We went with a recent convert from China named Sharon and we just talked to people, we ended up getting 3 potentials and one of the people came to church on sunday!! It was funny cause one of the english volunteers there was a girl who we street contacted into just a couple days before and she shut us down pretty hard... you could tell she felt awkward having us there, but hey... its only awkward if you make it awkward right?

Anyways, i am really excited for this new finding tool we now have! And we are starting up a institute class on campus hopefully this week. I get so excited when we continue to find so many ways to work on campus!!

From what i hear there is a whole lot of nonsense being talked about with the churches handbook change regarding the kids of a same sex relationship. It's times like this where i am happy i can avoid hearing all these silly things on the internet... i think that the simple way to put it is just to remember who is giving this new commandment.

So i had the most wonderful morning before emails today! We (as in me, Sister Fenn and the Assistants) met with the Institute teacher here Brother Cartier. The reasoning for it is was because i asked him about how i can better read the old testament. It is something that i have a hard time reading because it usually leads to confusion... both in the language and understanding. And with this question i ended up learning SO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING. Mainly about how everything links back to the plan of happiness. Throughout this discussion we talked on plural marriage, blacks and the priesthood, and the new handbook change. All i can say in the email (because it would take forever to explain everything) is that God knows what He is doing. Thats it. His ways are higher then our ways, and if we prayerfully study these things out, and do not base our opinions and the opinions of man, then we will be able to find ultimate truth. 

I feel so blessed to have the knowledge of this gospel in my life. Everything this gospel brings it so remarkable and leads to such immense joy. I feel so blessed. I am grateful to be sharing this with those that i meet, and i pray every day to find those who are ready to accept it.

I love and miss everyone back home, i hope you are all doing well!!

Love, 

Sister Lambert :)
