This was his first baptism. What a cute family. Zach looks like a giant compared to the others in the photo. He is having so much fun teaching and meeting the people. He said that in Honduras, the people are very humble and are ready for baptism, however, the retention of the members is very low. So Zach decided that maybe by offering an English class every week that it would bring the less actives together as they meet at the church and get to know one another and start their reactivation from there. Well, this last week was his first lesson to teach them about the English language and 55 people came for their English class. Amazing turn out. I guess the mission president is now going to keep an american in that area at all times so the class can still be offered. That is so fun for the church members to get together in that way to get to know one another.
Oh the beauty of Honduras!!!! They are able to go play soccer on the beach on their PDay! I just cant believe how beautiful this place is! More pics below.....
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
So peaceful!
This will be my favorite vacation spot someday!!!
This is right across the street from where Elder Lamb and his zone were playing soccer on the beach. Picture-esque!
So Happy!!!
This is Elder Lamb's Zone just playing a little soccer on the beach! LUCKY!!!
After a hard workout of playing soccer.... Elder Lamb needs to refuel with a huge plate of Carne Asada!
He said that you get a $20 plate of Carne Asada for only $7.
Zach said that "This is probably where the Lamanites and Nephites went to battle"
Honduras has such rich history! These are some painted walls along the streets of Progresso.
So now Im going to add some "selfies" that Zach took so we can see his cute face and happy smile!!!
So I guess its been about 5 weeks since Zach has gotten his hair cut. (he usually gets it cut every 3 weeks) This is before the gel he has to put in his hair.........
......this is AFTER the gel!! Much more appropriate for a missionary!!
This is the last picture post from Zach!!! These are his amazing boots that he bought from "Holmes Clothing"! If your not familiar with Honduran weather, well, lets just say its very wet, muddy, dusty, and humid!! He shines his shoes 2 times a week to keep them clean and well taken care of. Thanks to "Holmes Clothing", Elder Lamb has the driest socks and driest feet ever!!!! These boots are a heaven sent! He said that an elder from his mission just got transferred to Arizona because he got a foot fungus and couldn't get rid of it for so long because he didn't have the appropriate foot wear to keep his feet dry! Sooooo..... if any of you are headed to a wet, humid climate, go to "Holmes Clothing" and they will take care of your feet. (The most important accessory for missionaries)!!!!!
Elder Lamb is having such a great time on his mission. He is having many spiritual experiences that are helping him to grow and it has helped to strengthen his testimony of Jesus Christ. His faith is unwavering and it has strengthened our testimony's to be able to read and be a part of his mission experiences through his emails and photos. He is such a great example of service and love as he sacrifices his time for these two years to serve the Lord. He will be blessed in more ways than we can even think of because of his willingness to serve. We miss him and love him so much! Knowing that he is safe and learning and growing makes us feel a peace in our home. We are so grateful that he has the best Mission President and Mission Mom in the world! We are so grateful for their sacrifice to lead these young men and women and they have no idea what impact and influence they will and have already had on these missionaries lives. We love them for this!!! Until next time..... Love you MUCHO, Elder Lamb!!!!
