Happy Day when its pday in the mission!! .... especially for the mama's!

 
Here it is only 1 week and I'm already updating his blog!!! This is such a shocker to all of you, especially to me!
Here are some pictures and an update from our sweet Elder Lamb...
He is so excited this week after many prayers have gone out on his and his companions behalf.  They are seeing the miracles happen for them. Thank you to our family and friends who continue to pray for the missionaries through out the world. 
One of those miracles may be small to some of you, but its huge to missionaries who don't eat dinner every night and that don't have a ton of members who are so willing or have the means to feed these sweet elders.  As some of you may know Elder Lamb doesn't have the most amount of meat on his bones.... well, he keeps losing what weight he has. He and his companion walk everywhere they go when they are proselyting so its hard to keep the weight on.  Not to mention he doesn't get to eat very much.  Well, last week they had not eaten dinner for a few nights and all of their appointments fell through and they didn't know where to go until they received a phone call from one of the sweet sisters in their branch who invited them to come eat dinner at her home and to be there in 20 minutes.  Needless to say they were soooo grateful and so humbled that Heavenly Father answered their prayers for someone to reach out and feed them.  They have money to buy food, don't get me wrong, however, they have no time to stop and fix meals when they are so far from their home.  And to make things worse, there is no fast food in his area.  I told him how grateful I am for that sweet sister for listening to the spirit and having the means and to act on what she felt that night. 
Miracle #2 is just awesome! Elder Lamb has been asking us to pray that they find a family to teach who is married with children so they can be baptized and have the blessings of the an eternal family. He was so excited to tell us that prayers have been answered.  They were working one day and found a family of 9 all living in one home.  The dad lives here in the states for work but the rest of the family is in Honduras and they were found.  They have started teaching them and invited them to come to church and 5 out of the 9 came to church and they are continuing to progress.  We will keep praying for this family.  Elder Lamb is so happy! He loves his mission.
Now to the pictures he keeps sending... I just love seeing him!
 
 
 This is Elder Lamb's new companion Elder Garcia.  He is from Federal District of Mexico.  He is a great missionary and a great example of an excellent student of the Gospel.  He loves to study the gospel.  They are also companions to a new missionary, Elder Shepherd, from Centerville, Utah.  He is also a great missionary. What a great trio!!
 
 
This is a little "baptism card" left by Elder Lamb to these great investigators on their baptism day! Notice that the temple is the next goal they have in mind for them. :) Elder Lamb claims he got his mad drawing skills from me. lol
 
This is the baptismal font that they move into the chapel when they have baptisms in Songuera. How awesome is that!
