Update on Zach!

This is Zach in his dorm room at the MTC! He shares with 3 other Elders! He says its a blast!

This is the result of a towel fight that this poor Elder from his district suffered! props to Zach for learning so well from his mom!!!!! so proud!!!

One of the highlights of the MTC was seeing his cousin Austin!! He was so excited to finally find him.  He was kind of discouraged because it was dinner time and he hadnt been able to find him so he said that he said a little prayer and after dinner his companion, Elder Esplin, saw one of his friends in the hallway.  This friend just got there that day and just happened to be going to Belgium Netherlands and is learning Dutch just like Austin.  Well Zach asked him if he knew and Elder Elkins and he said that he was in his district!!! Zach was so excited and the friend took them to his cousins room.  It was 9:45 when this happened and he knocked on Austins door and said "Is there and Elder Elkins in here?"  Low and behold there was his cousin that he had been so excited to see!!! What a tender mercy!!! IHe says he sees him all the time now and that they live in the same building!!! I love it!  When Heavenly Father sees a need, he meets that need!!! Such a blessing!

Such a cute picture of him!!!

Elder Lamb with his childhood best friend from Arizona, Elder White!!! He is going to our friends mission in Argentina, President and Sister Heyman's mission!  This is so much fun that he gets to see so many of his friends!!!

This is Elder Lamb's district at the MTC.  What a sharp looking bunch of Elders!  They all look so happy!

First email

This is my first email to the family! I love it here in the mtc as you already know.  I am learning so much from the people i work with and especially my companion.  How is the family doing there? Tell seth and jake to keep up the good work in golf!....and dad too. I miss you guys a lot but i know that i have to be out here and my testimony is truly growing.  Our investigator rogelio martinez is coming a long to know for himself that the church is true as well.  The investigators in the mtc are members, but it is such a real scenario.   We asked him to pray for forgiveness after teaching him about the atonement(all in spanish by the way) and as he pray to our heavenly father for forgiveness of his mistakes and the ability to change, my heart was filled with gratitude for my savior and when we left the room my emotions rushed to my eyes and i was just overcome by the spirit.  I love it here mom.  The language is hard, but i am not here to learn the language, i am here to learn how to teach the gospel in the spanish language.  The lord has helped me accomplish this according to my faith and my efforts to be a better missionary.  This is the true gospel of jesus christ.  Tell everyone that i love them! i can only email and write letters on p days but i can read letters whenever so keep em coming!  The food here is really good but really bad at the same time!  If you know what i mean... but its all good! I love you and wish you all the best.  See you in two!!!

Love,

Elder Lamb

July 1,2013 letter 

We are so thankful for the work he is doing. So proud of how well he is grasping the Spanish language! 

The drop off!

Elder Lamb was dropped off at the Provo MTC on June 26th. Mom, dad, Jake, Seth, Ellie, and grandma Covington dropped him off at 1:30pm. A chock full of emotions that day I tell you! 

And there he goes! 

The night before he got dropped off, he was set apart as an Elder. A very neat experience for the family to be a part of.
