This week has been so awesome. We saw quite a few new people
and well lots of miracles in Many.
Lessons: So we got 21 lessons this week which is crazy. I
honestly did not think it was possible in Many as many other missionaries in
the past have. That is about what we were getting in Sierra Leone. It is so
wonderful.
Converse: We went with Glen Hardy who is the stake patriarch
to go see some less actives in Converse which is about 43 miles away from Many.
And it's still in our area. He actually took us about 6 yards outside our
mission boundary just to say "this is the mission boundary" haha. Anyway it was
good to see those less actives and one of them looks just like Santa. Like no
joke exactly like Santa.
Miracles at Church: As you know this Sunday we had 13 less
actives at church and 1 investigator. We brought Trent our investigator to
church for the first time and he really enjoyed it. Also one of the less
actives we've been working with Sean Johnson finally came to church! We did everything
in our power to help him to come. To knocking on his door at 8am and calling
him and reminding him the night before. And it worked! I have found that what
really helps investigators keep commitments is having the commitment be the
focus of the lesson, not just something that you add at the end. So basically
helping investigators really understand why they need to keep the
commitment.
Miracle McDonalds?: Well we went and it failed us. Our
investigator there simply doesn't really want to talk to us to much so we
dropped him.
Funny Guy: One of our investigators is this 85 year old man
named Guy who talks about how you shouldn't brag or be obsessed with money and
that's all he ever talks about is how he has been sooo successful. At the start
of the lesson he gave us his resume! Who does that? He is an 85 year old man
and we are missionaries. It's pretty funny how he wants to brag about himself to
us. Next time we visit him we are going to be like "we have looked through
your resume and well. Your application is accepted. You can become a member of
the church." haha that will be fun.
Gumbo!: We made gumbo for the first time and it was sooooo
good I'm totally gonna make it when I get home as well.
Finding: We tried to contact all the names we don't know on
our phone and well we got rejected a lot haha that was fun.
Anywho this week has been great and Many is on fire.
Love you all
Elder Christian Lehr
