Happy mothers day mom!!
i miss you a lot and i just wish they would let us call from the mtc.

my accent isnt that good yet but i understand everyone really well now. yesterday we went out for the first time and i had a lot of amazing experiences. i taught a man who was really interested and i saw him reading the book of mormon i gave him and it made me so happy. i didnt really sweat that much and i had a great time and stayed busy. we get to go back to the area again tommorow and follow up on what we did and refer the people to the local missionaries. one is named elder olsen from lehi.

i am doing great. just learning in class a lot every day and excited to finally get out of here and stop doing practices and teach some real people. the work is pretty hard but i am holding up good. when i stay busy i dont think about home at all when i lose myself in the work. but it is the times when i am falling asleep and thinking about home and you i start to get sad. i have only gotten one letter. the one from dear elder.com from you and gma pay. i am leaving for sierra leone on tuesday at noon. so 6 am your time. i should be fine on the weight limit and if i am over then i have plenty of money to pay for the extra weight. i havent spend a dime yet so no worries. my camera should work for the rest of the mission so dont worry about buying me another one yet.

i miss everyone a lot but i am just burying myself in the work.
i cant wait to see where i am going.
i dont know when i will be able to email again so until then hymn 152 is for you guys.

love
elder lamb
