First of all, just to let you all
know, Easter Sunday was absolutely great. But the day after Easter was
absolutely crazy! To begin with I have to tell you that for at least 2 times in
the year it becomes somewhat.....Interesting in Madagascar.....especially Tana
area... So usually on Easter people go to church and then party with everyone. And then the day after they are all makafka (Or they have hangovers). In Talatamy through Ivato it was especially interesting because there was a huge
party in Antinetbe that was kind of like Woodstock but smaller. And it was
mostly just beer instead of drugs that they were doing. So when we were going
out to go teach we literally saw a GIGANTIC WAVE of people that were all
drunk. Accidents were happening in front of our eyes, and it was crazy! So what
did we do? We still tried to teach. When we got to Sylvie’s house they were
like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GO HOME! ITS WAY TOO DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW!"
So we talked to the zone leaders about what was happening and we got out of
there. As we were going home though we saw accidents happening left and right,
and people doing crazy things! It was definitely not a good spirit that we
felt but we arrived safe and sound. The only thing that happened to us was
that our phone got stolen, but at least we were safe. :) So we celebrated and
made crepes. :)
I love this area. We have been
tracting and trying to find new people. And we have been able to get about 8
more potential families to teach. It's an exciting time in this area. I love
being with my companion. It's been a great blessing to have him with me.
Saturday and Sunday were
absolutely amazing though. We finally got to watch conference and holy cow it
was awesome! I love Elder Uchtdorf's talk about gratitude. It really touched me
and I think will help me to improve. Also it was amazing to watch Elder Oaks
speak in the priesthood session. As I watched I could feel that this man had
priesthood keys. I am so grateful that my testimony was strengthened as I
watched conference.
Mom and Dad I am sending a
letter to you. Hopefully it will get to you....sometime within the next couple
of months......Hopefully :)
I am way excited for this week.
We are having a soire with our stake president today. So that will be fun.
O MY!! I am so happy for Ashley!
I am so glad that she is planning on getting her endowments! That is SO SWAG!
OH! Yes to answer your question, Dad, yes I am the district leader right now. And so basically I just need to
gather the stats of those that are in my district.....which is me and my companion
and the zone leaders....So I just give them our stats every week. Then if there
is a baptism I would need to interview them. But I don't think that will happen
while I am in this area....Yep that's all my responsibilities for now.. :)
Well I think that's about it for
now but I love you all and will talk to you all next week!
Love, Elder Lehr
