| Elder Richardson, Elder Lehr and Elder Wittig |
So this transfer my new companion is Elder Richardson. He is
a fireball and just full of energy. He has been out 17 months and still has his
greeny fire. The assistants told us that we were pretty much the dream team.
Which is pretty true. Miracles are happening left and right now.
Tracting: We were tracting and this man invited
us in and we shared the first lesson with him and his mom and they both were
like "this could actually be true." So they now really want to
investigate to see if it’s true. And that's just one of our many stories.
We have a lot of potential investigators that need to be followed up on now.
Also the other day we went tracting and while we were tracting we got the
prompting to turn around and start tracting the other way and when we did that
the first door we knock on this man answers the door and has a
few questions about the plan of salvation and he tells us that it was no
coincidence that we came to his house at that time. We got a return appointment
for next weekend.
Contacting: We also have been talking to everyone on the
streets and while we were driving around a neighborhood we just roll down our
window and ask this lady on the side of the road if we could give her a pass
along card. We did and we set a return appointment. Yesterday we taught her and
she has 5 children and she really wants to be baptized and come to church. And
while we taught her, her friend showed up and joined us and she wants to do the
same. So the woman who's name is Kristi now has a baptism date for April 25.
Food: These members took us to a really nice seafood
restaurant and I got to try swordfish and also fried alligator. Which is sooo
good. We also got to try a crawfish boil. SUPER good. I love the south.
Debbie: We painted Debbie’s house and while we were there
she broke into tears and told us that she knows that we were sent from God to
help her. That we were angels. She started talking about how when she was super
down and needed help we were the ones that called her and said we could help.
She wants to have the discussions soon and also she wants to invite her
neighbors over for dinner with us soon. Doing service like that and being able to answer prayers makes a mission
so worth it.
We are now going hardcore mode and we are working like crazy
and seeing crazy miracles come from it. Our zone is now starting to catch on
and follow our example. I see great things happening in Baton Rouge in the next
couple months. Great things.
I love you all soo much
Love Elder Lehr
P.S. So glad that Elder
Richardson is my companion now. It is just what the zone needs and what I need.
It feels like Salone again.
