This week was pretty incredible
when we figured that we weren't able to work for 3 days, but we had some
incredible experiences as we went to zone conference on Friday. One of the
things that President Adams stressed was understanding the Abrahamic covenant
and how if we were to truly understand that....We would be able to keep on the
road of eternal life, and have the strength and desire to help others come into
the same fold. It was a pretty powerful conference, but my favorite part of the
conference was the question and answer part of the meeting. Some of the
missionaries just had questions about life after the mission and what we can do
to live the law of consecration on the mission and the spirit was so incredibly
strong. I felt the spirit testify to me that what Filoha Adams was saying was
true and that he had truly been called of God to lead this mission.
We also had the wonderful
opportunity to pray (go to church) in Ansirabe with some of the other missionaries'
branches. It was an amazing experience to see this district almost reach their
goal of becoming a stake, and it made me love the people so much more. :)
After praying (going to church)
in Ansirabe we got ready to go on the taxibrus home. We were told to come at
1:30 but according to the fomba of the taxibrus...All the seats must be filled
before we go. SO! We didn't end up leaving till 3:00, but we would have left
later if we had not had the most brilliant plan ever. We bought all of the
seats in the taxibrus except for the 2 in the front. We had the most
comfortable ride to Fianarantsoa we had ever had, and it was totally worth the
money for it. :)
Dang, I can't believe this Saturday is the baptism for Marsaline and Lucy. I am so excited for them. It's
going to be another crazy week of splits and having the zone leaders come do a
sleep over with us. SO EXCITED!
The work is going in Fianarantsoa, and I really can't think of a better place to be. I love the
people here, and the beautiful mountains that I climb every day. Every night
you can look up and see the milky way and several other galaxies and just know
that things are right and beautiful in the world. I love Madagascar with all my
soul and love the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Again sorry this is shorter
than usual, but I love you all and will speak next week :)
