Hey! Crazy we're taking off so soon, time is really weird here - it feels like we just got here, and then at the same time the days are so long and filled up with constant stuff that it seems like I've been here forever. If that doesn't make sense then it just goes to show how weird this place is. But ya we're leaving early Monday morning. Early. We have to wake up at like 3ish, our flight is at 7. So I'll most likely be calling from sometime after 6-ish? If you don't hear from me anytime around then, then maybe I'll be calling after my flight? But sometime in the morning, sorry it's not more specific than that. I'm sort of figuring this whole thing out as I go.
Thanks a bunch for the cookies mom. And the Reese's peanut butter bars. Everybody loved them, they wanted me to have you send some more cookies but it probably won't get here before we take off so don't worry about it. But that doesn't mean you have to stop sending ME cookies. They'll still be appreciated in Detroit. Thanks for the socks too, basketball and P-days are more enjoyable. So I just got a haircut, everyone has to get one before they leave for the field. It's alright looking. The good news was there was a cute girl in the MTC barber shop when I got my haircut I got to talk to, she's going to BYU and sings....so totally worth it. I convinced her to learn guitar, just planting potential seeds.
So Sean's home, crazy! Two years went by really fast, I'm a little bit jealous you guys get to spend time with him and I'm still a whole 2 years away still. But I'm still having a great time so stuff like that is fine. It's still great hearing from everybody thanks for the letters. Ah dangit the timer says I'm down to barely any time now, can't wait to leave this timer behind when I leave the MTC.
I'll probably be sending you a box home in a few days of things I won't need afterall. I gotta go, but I love you guys. Still love hearing about everything you've been up to and just hearing anything really. I'm still learning a lot every day and seeing some pretty cool miracles. This Sunday was fast Sunday and I bore my testimony on that. When you try to learn more about Christ and make him a bigger part of your life He does more than you even expect to help you out, I'm no Elder Holland or Pres Monson though. Love you guys, Can't wait to talk to you on the phone in just a few days!
Love,
Elder Lamb

Hey so sorry about the crazy email situation last week. That sorta bugged me. It's all good. Thanks to everyone for all of the letters and packages I've been getting. I never thought I'd see the day where I had more cookies than I was comfortable eating, but the day came. I'm hoping I don't come back a big round kid, but don't worry I'm not saying I don't appreciate the treats. Honestly thanks a lot everyone. It's good to hear from everyone.
Mom thanks for sending those gloves and socks, I'll have to look in my boots for my socks - I took the socks out the first day but maybe I didn't search deep enough. I'm still having a great time and still learning a lot. It really is what you make it here. I could see the MTC experience being miserable - strict schedule, stuck inside this small isolated little city, no tv or music or personal stuff like that, lack of communication, and the list goes on - but there's so much to this place that's really awesome. I'm learning a lot about Christ by reading scriptures and James E. Talmage's Jesus the Christ, I recommend it to anyone up for a deep book. I'm trying to really learn the scriptures to help with teaching - trying but I ended up buying sticky pads and a scripture mastery card, so I'm not really learning them, just turning my scriptures into a more usable tool.
Elder Ward took off this Monday for Nicaragua, I got to see him a few times when he was here. Love that guy. Can't wait to party in Provo with him again in two years. I'm almost oout of time, I'm starting to really hate this timer. Sorry to those people I didn't get to write back this week, I'll get you back next week.
I'm still having fun, still learning lots. Still miss you guys. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is still the true church. And Jesus is still the Christ and Redeemer of the world. And I still am bummed I don't get to listen to the new Kanye album that just ccame out.
I'll try and send you a letter this week when i get a chance. I love you guys lots.
