Salamo!
This week has been pretty poopy in terms of missionary work.
We had a couple branch problems come out that have just been a real pain to
deal with and then I have been kind of sick this week and had to stay in Friday
due to being sick.
On Sunday we have these 2 stud recent converts that are on fire in helping with the work of salvation. I think they spend about 5 hours every day just going to peoples houses to share their love for the gospel and to help bring back the lost sheep. Yesterday though they were telling me that the work is so discouraging because of the problems in the branch. So I told them that they now know what it is like to be a missionary :) Then later that day we were going to visit a recent convert that was going inactive because she doesn't feel that this church is true anymore. I had absolutely no idea what to say to help her. SO! I got these 2 studs to come with us to talk to her...And the spirit was SO SO STRONG as we were talking to this wonderful daughter of God. It was amazing to just feel the love that Heavenly Father had for all of us. And after the visit...These 2 studs told me that When they felt the spirit like that....All of their discouragement just vanished. The Lord really is in charge of this work. And it was a miracle to have that happen.

We also have this new family.
Laoma and Christine, and the bebe with the huge Tumor on her neck. They are all
absolutely incredible! They are reeieving this gospel SO WELL! They have an
amazing desire to read the Book of Mormon and to find out if this is true.
Laoma works at the taxi brus station and so his schedule mifadimby(s) "It
switches" all the time. He has a drinking and tobacco problem, but his desire
to change is so immense that I have no doubt he will be able to overcome it. He
is an incredible individual, and I think can be such an amazing help here in the
branch.
We had a baptism on Saturday.
Fanasina from the other elders area got baptized. And then the 2 from the south
never showed up. It was a way good meeting, even though it took forever.
We also went to the sunday school
president's house way out in the boonies because a member of his family died. So
we went over and began to sing songs with them to mankahery them. When all of a
sudden one of the drunk family members outside of the house just started to
scream like she had a devil inside. It was super scary, but at the same time
there was a special peace in the house because of the music that was there and
the holy ghost that we could all feel.
We are still alive...making
amazing food, and just having a blast here in Fianarantsoa. Yesterday we made
chili and breadsticks, which was super good.
Anywhos I love you all.
Amin'ny manaraka
