Fort Dona is just rocking, I love the dona so so much. You
find just the most awesome people ever. Farmers that are just so hick, and
accents that tear you to shreds, but it's Fort D! Just drinking the sweet nectar
every day :)
This week was super duper busy.
We had president come down on Saturday and we had some SWAG! interviews, and it
has just been an awesome week.
On Monday, we played probably the most intense game of American Football that I have ever played. 3 Solid hours of sweat breaking
labor through the torrential rain. All the while letting lose our despair at
the sea hawks losing the super bowl. It was SO FUN! There were so many times we
would be slipping and diving that it just turned into mud football at the end.
Haha The wonders of Africa :)
After all that we went to teach Charles and we were so proud of him! He has officially understood that a tree
did not appear to Joseph Smith but that God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared
to him "Next to the tree"! I love that guy! Now we are teaching him
about the Book of Mormon and hopefully will start teaching him how to read.
Such a swag son of a gun. After that we went to Souer Gorret and her family for
a soire and had a great time answering their questions. Then as we were
descending through the rice patties of oh so much steepness, we fell into the
little creeks and then continued on our way. Always an adventure out in the
dona.
Tuesday in Besoa, was awesome
but I was just sick out of my mind. I basically tried to offer whatever I
could but ended up sleeping in the lessons instead of contributing. Way good
though. We got to see an old missionaries family and see his kid which was way
cute, and then figured out some more of the home teaching and visiting teaching
with Jonny (Elder Randrianantenaina).
Wednesday we had English, and
all of our times fell through, but as we were going to a super far away time,
Marsaline from Tana calls us and tells us we need to go to Antsirabe to fix the
car. So we went back to Antsirabe and it killed the rest of our program.
Thursday: We went to restaurant
and they were projecting the 6 nations rugby game of France VS Scotland. SO
SWAG! Also we were teaching a very very special family. Dadanaivo and his
family are so rocking. They all want to go to the temple and be sealed and I
think are willing to do whatever they need to in order to get there. It was an
awesome lesson and the spirit was super strong.
For Friday, Saturday and Sunday
it was all just a blur. We had interviews, translated and drove all the way to Maharivo in order to get some paper work done for a missionary and we taught
some incredible lessons. Yesterday we went to Rapena and Nivo who are usually
very against us coming over. But they invited us in. And Elder Christiansen
did an awesome lesson about the atonement. As we were asking questions and what
not, they expressed their desire to receive of the light of the gospel again. And they want to feel the arms of fellowship again. It was an incredible time
and they said that were coming to church next week :)
Well the gospel really is true.
It's been so fun to be here in Madagascar and I am glad I still have a long time
to serve here.
Love Elder Lehr
