Climbed the mountain - just because

Hey everyone,
Well today was pretty crazy. We did a nature hike type thing. Haha well sort of. We took motorcycles into the bush to a mountain and then decided to climb up it. Well we planned to do it for a while and now we did. So we hiked up the mountain and I nearly had a heart attack. Apparently when you get used to walking around all day it doesn’t keep you in very good shape. Yeah so anyways, we made it all the way up to the top and took some photos and stuff. We had a good time and our bike drivers had to join us on the hike. They just wanted to know what the heck we were doing climbing the mountain in the middle of the bush. So they followed us and were a lot worse off than us. Most likely because most drivers smoke weed and drink rum. So anyways they followed us up and then figured out that we weren’t really doing anything so they hiked back down. The chief of the village joined us for the hike and on the way back we decided to cut through the bush. So we took turns with the machete and I was having a blast chopping through the deep bush. We came back down and met our drivers who then took us home. We paid them like 7 dollars which is like 20,000 leones. Big money here haha. Yup so that is the adventure of the day.
On Saturday we were at our investigators house and a huge rain storm rolled in. as we were waiting it out lightening struck the house and all the lights came on for like 2 seconds. It was kinda cool actually if we weren’t all afraid for our lives. But we made it home safe and everything is fine.
Due to popular demand elder lamb’s freebe scripture finding answers has been requested back. So now you all get my best scriptures again and can see what I am studying.
Matthew 10:16, 10:33, 16:13-20, 18:12-13, 18:18, mark 8:36-37, 9:29. Luke 9:23-27, john 6:35, 53, And 66
Well that should be good for this week. My hands are getting a little tired from typing.
Oh yes one thing that we found in the bush is called buyeh. It is a wild tree only found in the bush. It is red and has seeds inside that have small flesh on them. You just suck on them and then if you drink the juice inside it will give you a rash. But the seeds are good? Well no rash yet so I guess that I will be alive maybe. Haha
Well we have about 10 people ready to be baptized in July so we are working really hard to start finding a lot of new people. Things are going really good and I am enjoying the work. I come home exhausted and sleep like a log. But all is well and I am keeping a good journal. Thanks for the support and I am looking forward to some letters and things. Thank you all!!!!!!

Love
Elder Lamb
