Dec 12 - Akory ty vazaha toy (like that white guy) Malagasy

Well this week was a good week for the books. I was able to spend really the whole week in my new area, it is a really cool area. I love it here in St. Denis, the ward is great and I am making some great relationships with the members. I was able to bear my testimony in church on Sunday, it was great. I was able to be really sincere, as well as make everyone laugh. We had some investigators at church. We had this kid named Aaron who is about 18 years old born in Paris France, I met him my first night here in Reunion, he is a cool kid who is taking the lessons really well so it was cool to see him again.  We got to talk a little bit of what is new how I am still not super good at French but getting better.  As we were talking more I learned that Aaron was the wrestling champion in France for his weight. He wrestled freestyle in France before he moved to Reunion, and was the national champion for the 102 kilo weight class (224 lbs). I told him I wrestled before my mission but I hadn't done it in 2 years so I am pretty out of shape. Then he said that he wanted to wrestle me. I told him I would love to wrestle with him but I probably couldn't put up a good fight because he lifts every day and is still in good shape but I would love to do it. His mom told him "No you cant wrestle with the missionary you will hurt him, if you do it you have to go easy on him so he can still teach the gospel." So on Monday morning we got up at 5 and went to the beach and there did a little wrestling match. I am happy to say I still have it. I took him down and pinned him pretty quick. Then he said okay, keep going. So I did it over and over. He was so surprised. It was pretty fun, I taught him a few things and then just practiced with him. He gained a lot of respect for the missionaries that day(and the United States). I feel like he might be getting baptized pretty soon. He still has not accepted a date but he is making great progress. Please pray for him, he is a great kid.

Well that's all the story I have this week, I hope I can continue to bless the people here and help them in all ways I can.

Nov 29 - St Denis

I have been transferred to St Denis to be with Elder Ricks. I think it will be a great change, I am going to be leaving Joele and a few other great investigators, that I love but I am excited for the challenge. I have come to love La Reunion almost as much as Madagascar in the time I have been here. Joele is doing great and is progressing great towards baptisms, I wish I had some great story this week but it was really just an average week, I am having tons of fun and loving life...

Dec 4 - je suis tré heureux ( I am very happy)

Well this week was fantastic, I am now in my new area with my new companion and we are having tons of fun. This area is pretty cool. It has a tons of hills, and a lot of people who are waiting for the great gospel and the wonderful message we have for them. I had a great last Sunday in Le Port, we were able to have some of our investigators come as well as for the first time in 1 year we had this lady come with her family to church with a promise that she will continue to come long after I am gone. It was sad to leave Le Port but I am excited about the time that I have here.

I love this gospel and this wonderful work.
