In the farming world there are a very many needed traits in order to be successful. One of the most important traits is that of the "Fitihirizam-bola" Or Saving money. One of the things that is so hard sometimes for these people to grasp is that of trying to set priorities in their spending. They have never had to save before, and it's been a difficult thing to try and teach, but as we have been teaching basic financing principles, we have shown them how to be self reliant and how they can start having an income that will mitombo "Grow" and grow and grow. So. Farming fact number 5: "You have to save money and have goals in what you want to accomplish with your fiompiana."

Well this week has been chalk full of activities and what not. We had an audit, a fireside with President Adams, and then we had some meetings with the district president and also had our World cup finals on Saturday. It was way sad though because the world cup ended like any church ball event and basically....Nobody won :) After that we got ready for a SWAG Zone conference with President Adams. It was SO MUCH FUN! We got to watch the Meet the Mormons movie and I can't even begin to describe how many times I cried. Seeing President Hayden, and Orem and The mall, and families that are super cute. Dang, What a mahamariage trunky film! haha

Also we are gong to have a baptism this Saturday. Nirina is getting baptized! We are going to try and find a river, and do a whole bunch of stuff this next little while to get ready for it.

Seriously....There are TOO Many things to do right now. Translations, Strengthening, Preparing the branch for the next couple of months, Meeting with the district, and There is Just NOT enough time. BUT it's ok, because the Lord has really been helping us to know what to do and how to use our time to the fullest in helping this branch.

Last and not least....ELDER MACK IS COMING TO ANTSIRABE!!! WHAAOOO! My son is coming back to me! I can't even begin to describe how happy I am :) It was the best present I could ask for. Hes gonna be with Elder Gariki from Tahiti and they are going to Swag it up in Andranomanelatra. SO STOKED! I am way sad though because Elder Galbreath went home yesterday and he has been one of my heroes here on the mission. Working as hard as he could to the very end. Many tears were shed this past week because of his leaving.

Well love you all. Thank you for your prayers and for all that you do.

Love Elder Lehr
