Looking Sharp

Elder Lamb - Kenema Bush River - Picture taken in April 2009Hey everyone,
Well my last email was sent unknowingly so I will start over again. I sent a photo of our past trip to the kenema bush. Hopefully it got there. I think that today’s email may end up a LITTLE rambling and off track but I will try my best. Sorry I just have a lot of things on my mind right now.
So things are going great and we are planning to have some baptisms in July which is nice. We just added 2 more families to our pool and are always looking for more. The lord is really blessing us in that area.
One minor set back is a new company called Tasly. They are a pyramid scheme and are playing on the innocent faithful hearts of this people. Mainly our branch mission leader. But we discussed with our branch presidency and they are working with him. He is going about telling people he has the cure for cancer and aids. When did that happen? Ha-ha so we are trying to help him from hurting himself also. He seems ok about it but is just too greedy so owell.
The work truly is nice and I love it. The area is nice and all is well. The rain is beating down and I am waiting for it to let up a little. Rainy season is finally here and it usually rains at least once a day. Most the time it has been in the night so we have been blessed. I just got my hair cut today so I am looking sharp as can be. Ha-ha
Well I will let you in on my personal studys of the week now.
Luke 10:25-37, 11:27-28, 11:49, 12:15, 12:34, 12:48, 14:11, 18:27, D&C 60:13, john 12:26, mosiah 26:13, 17:25-26, 27:31.
Well that’s about it for the week. I am doing great and looking forward to your letters.
Love
Elder Lamb

The work is sweet!!

Hey Everyone,

Well satan did his best and he lost so all is well. This week was rather fun. After our zone conference with Elder Cardon things just went down hill. I dont know why. First our water pump died so we have no water unless we walk like 3 blocks to a well. So I didn’t shower for 3 days. Then the generator motor blew up cause no one but me checks the oil and I wasnt there to do it this week. Then the branches are just falling more and more away and I wont share the details. But overall I am doing great.

My scripture study really lifted me up this week and I am doing fine so no worries. I found some nice ones this week.

Mosiah 25: 24 -- we can only get the spirit when we take the sacrament weekly and repent.

Matthew 15:11 -- how do you explain this to an investigator who brings it up right after your lesson on the word of wisdom? ha ha fun one.elder neil l anderson- "you know enough" faith is not only a feeling, it is a decision.

Alma 32:42-43 -- work hard and reap the benefits.

Alma 37:44-46 -- following Christ is easy when you make the choice to do it.

One story I thought was funny this week was that we were teaching a recent convert the other day. Her sister lives with her and just had a baby. During the lesson the sister was walking by doing something strange. My companion was very distracted and so I looked, she was milking herself into a cup. Ya!! No joke!! She brought the cup over and there was a good amount there. Just a random taste of what africa is like. Haha

Well the work is sweet and I am working very hard. I don’t even know where this crazy week went. It seems like I was just here at the cafe and its already monday again. Well the time must fly when all you have to think about is the gospel and who to teach it to. All is well in the bush and the picture is of my mission presidents vehicle. I forgot to tell my mom so now she knows. Haha

Thanks for the support and keep writing!

Love

Elder Lamb
