Well my dearest rahalahy sy anabavy sy fianakaviana sy namana sy ny olon-kafa rehetra, Salama :) how are all you beautiful people doing out there! I just want to tell you guys. I love you! and that's this weeks email..... haha!! just kidding! i'll write at least a couple more sentances, sentences? i dont know..... Anyways so it has been an odd week. Kinda. Hahaha just not really much has happened. Kind of boring. though yesterday was super weird! So. I'll start with that! There is this guy i contacted on the street and invited to church. his name is nalyse... He seemed very excited and well... he shows up! BUT! during the opening hymn.. the man pulls out his prayer rug and does some crazy prayer... i thought he was praying to allah or something... in sacrament meeting!! Hahha so we made a time with him tuesday :) then. we're on the path and we see him! he's like teach me now! Our time fell through (happened ALOT this week) so we thought whatthe heck! leggoooo! So weirdest lesson... in his prayer. he prayers to God, Christ, and the holy ghost... all in the same prayer. and it's like he's just talking to him haha. So at least he's not muslim? right? then he showed us these super apostate books that he got from some church... we both agreed. THE MAN NEEDS THE BOOK OF MORMON. So we teach him again on tuesday. it'll be hard because i like said nothing in the lesson and i had no idea where elder aloi was going with it all.... so... yeah! It was an alright week. We had a zone meeting and Elder Evans our zone leader gave an awesome lesson on the Book of Mormon and how important it really is. I don't think i use it enough and have really tried since then to use it and give more homework from it. so now I GIVE YOU GUYS HOMEWORK! If you're not already... REad the book of mormon! every day! And don't just read. You need to read, and ponder. try to get meaning out of the scriptures! For yourself! Just like nephi said! Liken them unto yourself! So do it! Anyways Betongolo is kind of hard... There are honestly like 2 progressing investigators and the work is super slow. But the 2 progressing ones are suepr cool. We have Andry who is a young guy. Early 20's. his GF is a member and he ahs a bap date on the 30th! We taught him about tithing and fasting and he committed t odo it. it was the first tiem i taught him but he was suepr cool! this area hasn't had a bap in a while, since when it split with the sisters pretty much all the investigators were in the sisters area. so it'll be good. Also there is this 11 year old girl named stephanie. she's so cute and sincere! We had a good lesson on the plan of salvation and oru goal on earth andthen i committed her to baptism on dec 14th. her like aunt and cousins are all members o we tuahgt with all them and it was a super good lesson cause they all helped and gave input. So. next homework.. HELP THE MISSIONARIES AND GIVE REFERALLS! Yesterday we had some tender mercies and got 2 referrals and 4 new investigators.. from members! people. missioanaries are dope! and we love food! invite them over aand give them people to teach. ahah. anyways that was my week. I taught ny drafitra ny famonzena alot (plan of salvation) and realized how amazing and important it is. so thats neat too. I lvoe my new hosue and the people in it. The ap's live below us and it's super fun and i live with my boy elder payne from the mtc. good guy... Did lots of tracting and got into my first argument cause this stupid FJKM (the church of jesus christ in madagascar... literal name) told us our church was false and was super close minded and it was frustrating. all he said was. tsy mitovy! not same! even though we're christain too! AND THE ACTUAL TRUE CHURCH! some people... honestly... right? haha anyways i lvoe you all!!!!! You da best! hugs and kisses! i mean not cause im a missionary! HA!
