Dear Sweet family,
I think it finally hit me that I got double transferred:) Yeah I kind of broke yesterday, but luckily I have a great companion and some awesome elders who were more than willing to give me a blessing. It was much needed and yeah the stress is a lot but we had a great speaker at our zone conference this past week who is the doctor for 22 missions and he taught us all how to rethink and change our thought process so it doesn't take over and bring us down. It was amazing and he is very inspired. Zone conference was awesome, so long, but it was jam packed with the spirit. I love being around missionaries and it was just a great day. They had the missionaries who are leaving bear their testimony, and it was so sad, I don't like saying goodbye:(

This week Sister Freer and I are preparing to fast for our finding. President Collins gave the whole mission a sure way to find new investigators. He shared it with us at zone conference and he told us that he had been praying on how we can all find new people to teach and he said soon as it came he just started writing and so we are excited to do the things that he asked us to do because we know it came from the Lord.

We had three investigators come to church and we were so excited because we worked very hard to get them there. John came and he stayed for the whole block and we were able to introduce him to a few of the members, he really needs that fellowship and we were grateful the members were so willing to introduce themselves. Jim came and he really felt the spirit, I know he did, especially since it was the primary program, he loved it. At our lesson earlier this week we had a member come with us and she was so willing to open up her home for our next lesson and really wanted him to meet her husband. We introduced him to her husband yesterday at church, and he gave Jim his Book of Mormon that had all of his markings of when it refers to Christ and when Christ is speaking. It was so sweet that he was willing to give him a Book of Mormon that he had worked on for a long time. Jim really loved that because he has been looking for how the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ. It was a little miracle that was wonderful to be a part of.

We also had Michelle come, she is a fairly new investigator and she loved church as well and we have a lesson with her this week and I think she is going to progress well because of her desire. The primary program was so precious, and it was a great day for our investigators to be there. We were able to set a baptismal date with Reba, who is the sweetest little old lady ever. She has a funny view on life but she is understanding the gospel. We have a lot we need to help her with and work on but I'm grateful for the spirit that has been guiding us as we have been teaching her. I just love going to her house, she is so good to us. The members are so great and we are getting to know them better and that has been helping. They are very willing to come with us to help us in anyway they can and that has been a huge blessing. We took a couple to a lesson with us this past week and our investigator didn't have a ride to the store to get some medicine and right after the lesson they took him to wherever he needed to go. It's been awesome to see that and the love that this ward has for the gospel.
Love, Sister Lamb
LOVEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUU so much
