Amy ran to give her big brother the first hug!! She told me later she would have ran up the escalator, but there were people in front of him.
Elder Lamb hugging mom!
Elder Lamb with his siblings - He said they all changed while he was gone.
The brothers got fatter and his sister got woman huge.
HOME SWEET HOME!!
Elder Lamb must have been a VERY faithful missionary
because he got his wish of SNOW when he came home!!!

Final Week - April 19th
Well,
Hmm it’s an interesting time. Next week I might not even get a chance to email, so this may be the last one. I have been trying to stay focused and working so I wont share what is deep inside me now{fear, happiness, accomplishment, sadness, and others.}. But I had the chance to go to Bo for super p day today. We played some games and watched the Work and the Glory. One of the relay races involved spinning on a stick. I almost fell down pretty good. It was very very funny. Volleyball was also fun except the sun was soo hot I almost died. But luckily the room had air conditioning that we were in. The only problem was that it broke at the end of the movie. Owell.
We had a chance to see a family in my old branch. They are all doing well and their little girl was soo big that I got scared thinking about seeing little Amy again. I won’t even recognize anyone again. But it was nice to see them and talk. I haven’t seen too many others around but that’s ok. They are fine without me - and will be.
This week was awesome as we got to be with Elder Golden and his wife. They have lived a great life of sacrifice to the Lord and it was so amazing to have some of his vast reservoir of knowledge about the gospel. He knows so much and his scriptures are soo marked. It was a highly spiritual day. We learned about many things but the focus was on Christ basically. We gained much and are trying to share it with others. I have it all carefully recorded in my journal and notebook. Sadly he had to quickly travel to Freetown shortly thereafter. But it was wonderful being with my dear Mission President and him at the same time.
Not really a whole lot else has happened out in the good old bush. I am doing well and trying to stay strong to the end. Me and Elder Priddis have decided that this week we will eat like kings. Haha it should be a great time and I will probably gain I few more pounds to work off in a few weeks.
Keep the snow cold for me because I am just dying to see it. I love you and can’t wait to see you all next week. Wow that sounds so crazy.
Love

Loving every minute
Hey Everyone,
Well I got a few last letters. By the way it’s too late to send anymore so don’t. Haha!! But I did receive one about my Uncle Wynn. Well my great uncle. But the story I read of his experience was inspiring and has really helped me to bunker down and hold out to the end still. It hasn’t been too bad. We start early and come back late. That keeps us to busy to do anything else.
Today we had a branch missionary in Bo over. (We are in Bo fyi.) He has a monkey. So we played with a monkey today and did about nothing else. Well actually we helped clean the apartment so that it will be spotless for Elder Golden of the 70 on Thursday when he comes to visit. He is a very perfect man and likes everything perfect. Even the apartments -which I have no problems with. Our house is good but he won’t go out to Kenema. Last time he came in Liberia he told us that we had the most clean apartment he had ever seen. Ohh the time we took to clean that place. Haha. I am excited to see him again. He has the spirit very strong.
Sorry this letter is kind of wacked. I am trying to get some new conference talks printed off now. I have Elder Holland’s now. It’s good. Haha I haven’t even looked at it yet. Just a scan. But I am excited to read them with some spare time in the office in 2 weeks.
Not much else going on out here in the bush. Just working hard and doing my best. We are getting along well and eating some good food. I am loving every minute and trying to use it all.
See you all soon.
Love

Mangos and occra - YUM!!
Hey Everyone,
Well I missed conference. But only because we are too far away. I will have to wait until later to watch it on the computer or something. But I will learn some more patience I guess. I got a good summary from everyone today, but to listen just isn’t quite the same. Hopefully I get it soon.
Well the highlight of the week: I pulled the first mango off the tree and ate it. No more yet but there should be this week. It was so nice and I will miss them a lot. Right now is the season so they are all over the place. It’s my goal to eat as much as possible of them. We also want to try and make pizza today. Last night we made fried okra. Elder Hickey should of never shown me that because now I am addicted. Do they sell okra at home?
Thanks for the emails. I enjoyed reading through Franks and Glenda’s among all the rest.
Things are going well out in the bush. We had to leave the Book of Mormon class early when the members started arguing about dating. It got out of hand and I didn’t want to yell. So we walked out on the class. They were a little surprised but I was tired of the nonsense. Sunday was nice though as I taught the gospel principles. The spirit was awesome. It helped the people stay awake. If they didn’t I would throw chalk at them. No one sleeps in my class. Haha
Not a whole lot else has happened. It’s funny to recognize any holiday here. Everyone has fancy hair and shiny clothes. It was a little entertaining to watch. We used the fasting excuse to not eat a lot of rice. It worked fairly well.
Well I guess I should be off to family home evening. Another victim of the flour game is waiting. Haha
Thanks for the letters and emails and support. After today it will be too late to write so just keep it for me. Don’t worry I am still workin hard and doing my best. You should see the map I have drawn of this whole city…..almost.
Love
Elder Lamb
