The Gripa in Malagasy is a
horrible intoxicating disease known in English as the Common Cold. It takes
a hold of your ability to breathe through the nose and makes life miserable. And
Low and behold....For the Past little while Elder Christiansen and I have
caught....THE GRIPA! It's been an adventure and a half being in Fort Dona with
this blasted son of a gidru cold.
But! All is well in the garden
of Eden! We had a crazy miracle of having exactly a 100 people at church on Sunday! WAHOO!!!!! And it's not even Easter :) We had some less actives come for
the 2nd time in a row and I am just on cloud 9 right now.......until the Gripa
strikes back!
Less actives: Dez has come to
church 2X in a row and it's been awesome. Kind of a standoffish guy, but it's ok.
We then had this recent convert named Stephanie come to church which was
awesome since we haven't been able to catch her. Then we had a bunch of dadabes
and bebes come, except for Dadabe Mitchell and his wife because they have the Gripa.
So This week has really just
been focusing on organizing the classes that we have, translating manuals for
seminary and institute, and teaching English, and then the few other lessons
that we have had. We did give Lova and bebe Nety some baptism dates so that was
awesome, OH! And yesterday for fast and testimony meeting our investigator Nirina gave the sweetest little testimony that I have ever heard. She is so
ready to accept this gospel :)
My mind is kind of fuzzy right
now due to the fact that this Gripa is strangling me right now....So I don't
really know what else to type except that I am pretty excited for President to
come down this Saturday to do some interviews. That will be fun, and then we
are just planning on working as hard as we can this week. And we will try to do
some farming and learn more about planting beans and rice.
The Dona is the best, I really
do love it a lot. We are starting to really love the people and I am excited to
see what happens for the month of February :)
Love Elder Lehr
