Akory Aby O!
WOW! It seems like so much has
happened in the states. Dances, parties, and all the aniya over there. holy
cow!
This week, we have had a blast
with Elder Rigby and Elder Johnson. Such amazing guys. So kind hearted, and
just exactly what we need for Fianaransoa. We have tried to do dinners and
different things together. For example yesterday I made some pretty awesome
spanish rice and tortillas. SO GOOD. But also it's brought a wonderful spirit
to the area by having these wonderful Elders with us.
New Investigators: We tracted into some people that were
near our area whose names are Prisca, Bruno, and others. They are so awesome.
(They were SO DRUNK when we came to them, but they were still awesome). Haha
Bruno's kids are SO CUTE! It really makes me want to adopt a little black girl
when the time comes. Bruno, though was super receptive to our message. And we
were able to introduce them to the other elders in whose areas they live in. Besides Bruno, we have Mon. Francois
who is a really fun guy. He prays in third person but he is pretty cool. SUPER
Friendly, but he has promised us that he will come to church on Sunday. Super
excited for that.
Branch: Well, the branch is
still....Going :) We have really been trying to have these members help us in
this work, and a lot of them have just had the fire of testimony snuffed out. We
have been trying to figure out how we can rekindle the fire that they once felt
so that they will be able to be a light unto others, and not just a soppy piece
of poi. :)
Mom, just to let you know,
Sister Adams called and told me that they would bring the packages when they
come down to zone conference on the 13th of December...So it will just be a
little longer till I get those.
OH! I almost forgot a story
that happened this week. So on Thursday we were teaching a recent convert when
all of a sudden my stomach was starting to growl and to cramp up. As I realized
what was going to happen in not to long. We ended the lesson right there and tried
to go on a direct course toward home. The only problems were that the cramps
were getting worse and worse and about half way home, I knew that if I didn't go
somewhere at that point in time.....That something very very very bad was going
to happen... So I went forth down a hill and saw about 50 meters away an Opên
VC (Outhouse) and preceded forth to the hallowed building. The only problem is
that once your eyes see an actual area in which you can mivoaka then your body
automatically starts to prepare for it. SO!, as the door was being closed, I
almost had one of the most horrible accidents that I could have had on the
mission as the cramps in my stomach released and pain was relieved in my being
in order to mivoaka tsara. Ary ny zava-nitranga dia izao "Aminy alalany
fahasoavan'Atra, Tsy nisy ny accident." (and this is what came to pass.
"Through the grace of God, There was no accident that occurred.)
In order to end this letter
properly, I will talk about one of the tender mercies that I have received this
week. During Sunday I had the opportunity to get a blessing from Elder Mack, in
the which I felt rejuvenated for this work, and I know that the priesthood is a
real power, and when we were done...We went out and not 3 minutes later, we
found a family ready and wanting to learn. I am so grateful for a companion
that cares and would do anything to help me, and me him. I Know that God knows
who we are and that if we but look forward to him, we will find true happiness.
