Sooo... ohoana nareao! So as you dear friends and family can see i have been... TRANSFERRED! asldkfjlaskdjflk;sj!!! So yeah. Pretty much took me by surprise, i got a cal friday from the office elders and they asked if i could drive stick... after i hung up naef was like... DUDE! You're the new office elder... Yeah.... After that phone call you kinda knew. So transfer news last night and boom! Elder Roush and Elder Aloi in Betongolo! the office elders!! Now one might ask. What exactly does being office elder entail? Well my dear friends. Pretty much from what I know I'm like an assistant to the ap's and office couple. I work in the office doing stuff for the mission like half the time and then go out and do preselything and missionary work the other half. i live with the ap's and sometimes get to drive a car! haha. So yeah.. to be honest i'm not too stoked. I worry my malagasy will go to poop but we'll see. I gotta trust that it is what the Lord wants! i am sad to leave Tanjombato! After being there for 4 months (which isn't very long for this mission) I'm sad to see it go. I've met some awesome people, baptized an awesome mom and her daughter and made some really good friendships. And i was even starting to pick up steam here! I found 3 new investigators on thursday alone and we were up to 12 Father led families! But whatever... things change! Fiainana izany!! Well. So this was a pretty good week. On wednesday we were teaching huga and irene and irene had some friends from her church over and we taught them. It was an awesome lesson and i may or may not have held the cutest baby in the world for a minute or 10.... not during the lesson dont worry!!! BUt yeah they got a little angry about the sabbath on sunday but naef took care of it.. We taught he whole first and it was kinda long but it was great. When i tuahgt the joseph smith story i looked at irene and you know... i could tell she was feeling it. And i felt it! and huga felt it! he just looked at her and smiled as i told the story. SHe had already heard it but i thnk this time it hit her harder so that was great. After the lesson her two friends told us they wanted to learn! so DOPE. Thursday i got to go on a split with elder horne. It was his year mark in country and he too was born in Tanjombato! It was a really cool day! He loved being back where it started for him! it was sick cause he showed me some of his old investigators so we can visit him but we also found 2 new ones jsut from that! It was funny, he'd talk about an old investigator and then all the sudden we'd run into them on the path!! It was a really good day and i got to know the area better... but i'm leaving! crap! ahha. we talked about sports when we went home and ohhh it was awesome. First time i'd talked sports in forever! he's jsut as big of a ute fan as i am byu so that was funny. Really good time though. Anyways elections came and went. nothign big. We find out in a month! Last thign! Last night we taught Olivier and fanda again and it was awesome. We taught the apostasy and the restoration and it was a great lesson. HTey had lots of questions and i felt impresed to talk a little more about authority and the priesthood. Authority here is a huge principle and i think it really helped the lesson. They seemed stoked to learn more. It's hard to explain, nothing speicail hapened... it was just a solid lesson. ahhaha afetr they aksed if we could eat rice with them. They felt bad cause they hadn't make any laoka yet (topping for rice) so they jsut brought up some presto (raman noodles) and we put that on top of the rice. It was fun and we talked a little more about missionary work. They thought it was sooo cool that there are missionaries all around the world and that the church isn't just american. So yeah great lesson... I really wish i could stick with them and see them progress but i guess there are people in betongolo that need me. ANyways that's all folks! Oh also! I finally listened to Sunday morning of conference in English.... holy crap people! How good was that?! if you have time. Read sis oscarsons talk again.. i lvoed it and its something we all should focus on and try to do! I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!! TO THE OFFICE!!!! WOOOOOOOO :)
