Farming fact number 2: So we
have a member that wanted us to help him get a baby pig for 40,000 ariary and
then he would sell it in about 9 months for 100,000 ariary. We have learned
from great study and researching the members that it is SO MUCH better to start
off with 2 chickens, and within the same amount of time you could make over
230,000 ariary within a 9 month period, and you would be able to continually
have that grow. Whereas if you buy the 1 pig, and sell it.....It just doesn’t
make any sense. SO! Start with chickens, not pigs. :)
This week has definitely been
interesting. I had a great split on Tuesday with Elder Galbreath, and we had a
great time teaching some swag families, and at the end of the day we taught a
guy who is a puspus puller, and had just recently had his wife leave him with his kids, and this guy was just depressed. We had a great
lesson with him though where we taught him, and just tried to help him feel
love. Then all of a sudden this guy told us that he had stopped drinking and
chewing paraky and wanted to get baptized. We were so stoked. Then after the
lesson I found out that the entire reason for the split was so that
"Doctor Love could work his magic on this dear fellow." It was great.
:)
We are still on course with
Nirinas baptism on the 7th of march, and then we have Alberto and nety that
Just need to get their vita soratra and then need to start praying with the
right branch :) haha they are funny. We will need to see if it’s ok for them to
pray at antsirabe or if they need to go to Ambohimena. But they are SO SWAG :)
Other then that....hmm...We had
some things in the branch that we need to take care of. haha that is always fun
:) Oh! We were in the bureau one day doing some MLS Stuff when all of a sudden
we heard something equivalant to an earth quake come, and all of a sudden dust
and dirt just filled the bureau. We were so scared! We looked outside and saw
that a building had collapsed right next to us, and had covered the area around
the bureau...Except destroying the bureau itself. So MIRACLE! Haha still not
dead yet :)
Sorry this is going to be kind
of a short email. But I love you all and thank you for your prayers.
Love Elder Lehr
(Note:
When Elder Lehr says “to pray at Antsirabe” he means to attend that
branch/ward.)
