This has been a really good week. We have worked really hard
and seen lots of miracles. So I'll go ahead and start with that good stuff.
Investigators: Martey broke his knee and is really
struggling. We tried to see him but he couldn't even open the door for us to
come in. And if his mom falls he can't really help her up because he
can't even help himself up so that's kinda sad. But he really loves it when we
come visit him. So that's nice. Also one of our investigators is a super busy man. He works 2 full time jobs so we are super lucky to
catch him. And we totally did. We taught the restoration using a cup object
lesson and it worked wonderfully. Elder Sabey and I taught with unity and it
was awesome. We invited him to be baptized and he said he will sincerely pray
and think about it which is a great start.
Miracle McDonalds: So our McDonalds in our area is like
blessed or something. The first time we went there a random guy paid for
our fries, another time a random guy who contacted us bought us drinks there
and I'll talk about that in a sec. And lastly we went there this last Saturday
and there was this big black man who looked kinda like a thug who suddenly came
up and was all like "It's on me, I'm buying your dinner." And so we
tried to pay ourselves and he was like "No you are not buying it. I am
buying your dinner!" So I was kinda intimidated but in awe of how nice
this guy was. So basically this is a Miracle McDonalds. :)
Other Miracles: So we decided to go on a walk and the spirit
prompted us to turn back and walk on the main road. So we did. And this random
85 year old guy named Guy pulled over and talked to us saying he talked to us
before and rejected our books but now he is interested and wants to learn about
Joseph Smith. So we went to McDonalds and talked to him. Awesome how the Lord
always puts us in the right place at the right time. And this lady Laronda who
we have been trying to contact for a while was finally at her house and we were
able to leave her a Book of Mormon and a pamphlet. And she said that we could
come over again and talk about it. Haha she also is really mad at the
government right now as everyone here is and she said that her church is
praying and fasting that we can get some good Christians in congress. haha I
thought that was awesome.
Workout: Well my companion is working me out. I'm doing at
least push ups every night.
We also watched Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration with Bro. Lee, He is the less active who I took the pictures of the guns with. And
it was awesome the spirit was really strong. We also have 2 appointments
tonight so we hope that works.
Rain: So the rain here is basically the same as in Sierra
Leone except we don't have it for 7 days straight. It's awesome. I love the rain.
Man I miss Sierra Leone. I don't really get trunky for home anymore. It's just
sometimes missing Sierra Leone. If I had the chance to go there right now...I
would not take it because I'm scared of Ebola haha. But if it weren't for that I
would love to be there. But Louisiana is awesome. I am so glad I am here. I am
getting along with Elder Sabey and we are working hard and really enjoying lil
old Many.
Well love you all
Love Elder Christian Lehr
P.S. So I have received
some awesome info from James Conteh. He said that my investigators from Kissy
are getting baptized :) (It is so wonderful that even through the trial of Ebola interrupting the lives of the Sierra Leone people, the Lord makes a way for His work to continue and for His gospel to be spread. How grateful we are for the strength of our fellow saints in Sierra Leone. May God continue to bless them through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. You have touched the life of Elder Lehr. He is better for having served in Sweet Salone.)
