Farming Fact Number 8: Haha you all thought that I was going
to forget a farming fact huh! Well HERE IT IS! So, In raising pigs. It is very
important to see how much your income is and what type of pig will be most
beneficial for you in your circumstance. FOR INSTANCE! We have a kisoa Gasy, or
malagasy pig which will get up to about 100,000- 150,000 ariary max, just
because you can feed and feed it but it will never grow fat. It just sucks all
your food and there is no growth in it, but they can get like 6-12 piglets per
litter and you feed them about 2 kilos a day. Then you have the Large White pig
usually found in North America and Europe that Eats about 3-4 Kilos of feed a
day, and will mitombo tsara and they are usually 300,000- 500,000 ariary
depending on if you are giving them Blood, Dried fish and corn in their diet so
that they can get big and strong and get enough otrikain and the other stuff
that they need. also they have about 8-14 piglets per litter. SO! Remember that
depending on what you can put forth in terms of feed. (If you can afford it)
Then that will determine the pig that is right for YOU!
Yesterday we were getting out of our last time with Soure
Aime and Elliena when we saw it. The most incredible thing made by God that I
have ever seen. We saw in the sky....a rainbow....at night....Lit up by the
moonlight. I was trippen and just like HOLY SHMUCK! This is SO SWAG! We tried
to take a picture........But having it be night time.....kind of made the
picture look just black if you know what I mean. But it was one of the
coolest things of all time by far!
Well things are going great here in the Dona. Just living
and loving life, and we have been very busy. We had a great Pasque and had a
wonderful district activity where they showed the bible videos in malagasy
which was SUPER POWERFUL! And then the missionaries all got up and sang "I Believe in Christ" which we had translated into malagasy. It was way
awesome and a very special experience, being able to sing with my son (Elder Mack) and grand
daughter (Elder Gariki) and all (good ole mission lingo), and then we also got to sing with the district. It was a very
special and powerful experience to have been able to see people think and
ponder on what the Savior has done for them.
Along with the wonderful, spiritually moving flow of easter
time...Comes the madagascar....Fety be... And Mother if you remember last
easter......Well Antsirabe is known to be the easter party headquarters of
Madagascar. It was Bouncing and crazy here! But it was also really cool.
Nothing much really happening here. We had some dope
zone meetings and are just hitting things strong. We are determined to not have
my companion die hard but to go forward to the end. And Izay Ilay izy!
