Feb 19 - Peak St Louis


Well this week was another great week in the life of the mission. I have been doing a study on the Book of Mormon just about the spirit and how we can improve our personal spirituality. I saw some interesting things as I tried to apply the things I have learned that as we attempt to keep all the commandments of God we are promised to have the spirit with us. This week we were able to see many miracles this past week, especially while we were finding.

We had been kind of worried about one of our families not being able to catch their bap date on the 24 because they are still not married legally. But after having a lesson with them this past week I saw how truly dedicated they are and how much they want to be baptized. Please keep them in your prayers (Ivan and Zarsoa).

Also this past week we were able to have Gevon come to church again and stay for all three hours so that was great. I really am so soorry for how bad my letters are I mean to write more and say more. I will try to get better at it.

Have a fantastic week.

Feb 11 - Amparihy

Well this week was full of ups and downs. It is good to be back in Madagascar but I caught a bug or something this past week and so yesterday I was at home all day sick. It is gone today and I feel a lot better but I know I will probably get sick a few more times just because it is Madagascar. This week we got some more news about Dolin and Hariete his wife about their wedding. On Tuesday we went out searching for the eldest in her family to ask if we could post pone the "fomba gasy" and just get married legally when we found the oldest brother of her father he argued with us a little bit but then understood what we are trying to do and accepted it. We were pretty happy because we were going to have their wedding in the following weeks which allows them to get baptized. On Wednesday we go to their house and they gave us bad news that the Eldest was actually just being nice to us because we are Vazahas but he still does not accept it, so we are going to have to wait like 4 months for them to get enough money to buy some cows and some drinks and rice. It is pretty frustrating but there is nothing we can do about it. Other good news from the week is me and Elder Hunter tracted into this guy named Dider about 2 weeks ago and he came to church on Sunday, had a great time, made some friends and told us he wants to come back every week. We also have another family that will be getting married this week and they will be getting baptized on the 24th of February. Please pray for them. All and all work and life here in Madagascar are going great. I love it here.

Have a great week

Feb 5 - Akory zo raha

Great week here in Fort D! Love it here, it is way beautiful. And the work goes great here. I will talk about some of our cool investigators. We have this guy Dider he is about 23 years old and he is going to school. We have taught him about the Book of Mormon and he has accepted it. He quit praying about 2 years ago due to some concerns with the pastor of his church. He has been searching for the truth for a while and he is super cool, I am excited to see the things that come from him.  He asks great questions and is super funny.
Sorry not a ton of time today, we have a big day planned so I don't have time to write about all the wonderful experiences I have had here, but ask me when I get home and I will tell you.  haha. Really I love my mission It is the best mission in the world. I feel bad for anyone else who can't serve here it is the best.
