Lehi lived in the desert. He felt that it was God's plan for him to raise his family in a spot that was almost exactly between the White Mountain Apache and Navajo reservations. There was not a lot of immediate employment opportunity there, and so in order to be of service to his community as well as support his family, he needed to be creative. He decided that he would find a way to serve humanity instead of chasing after dollars, and so he went into training to become an emergency medical technician. He passed through his training with flying colors, and his wife was happy to have a husband who wanted to make a difference. After his initial training, he decided that he needed to find a place to get his ACLS recertification when it was up for renewal. Making a Living While Saving Lives The first few months as an EMT were difficult. There were a lot of car accidents, a lot of alcoholism, and a lot of drug abuse; and in all of these things, there was a lot of life that was lost. Losing someone was devastating, but there were just as many times when he and his team made the difference, bringing someone back from the edge. The joy that he felt in saving lives was far greater than the loss he felt when they were not successful, and seeing the grateful eyes of loved ones after they were told that there was a chance brought him something indescribable. He made sure that he completed every ACLS recertification in a timely manner, and felt that it really was God's plan for him to be there, working between those two reservations, giving accident victims and others on a bad turn another chance at a great life.
