I love teny manakara! It sounds
so dope! Just those southern dialects baby!
Roger, our wonderful man that Elder Obioma taught in Ampifiloha is getting baptized!! He is a stud. Been
waiting forever but NOW IT'S HERE!! :)
Paul and Susan and their family
are doing really well. It's just trying to have them get their answer to
prayer. So critical. It will come though.
Holy Benwa and his family are
DOPE! After teaching them, and them asking if they can come to church on Sunday, they taught me some teny manakara which is SO AWESOME! Literally
sounds like garglemesh when they speak....but hey! I feel that is how my English sounds anyway so it shouldn't be too hard now!
Also we did some way awesome
Fifanakalozanas this week which was super fun and we got permission from the APs to do it with Ambohimanarina this Wednesday! WHAT!!? SO SWAG! I am super
stoked.
I have always been tired on the
mission...but I never realized how your body just...shuts down near the end of
it.....just almost nothing left.....But that is life!
I have loved Mahamasina SO
MUCH! I literally feel like I have had my own "A Christmas Carol" and have been visited by the ghost of Christmas past, present and future. And in
all honesty, like Scrooge, and I can say that "I am not like the man I
was." I am not the same as I was in the beginning of my mission, nor when I
was in Fianarantsoa, nor in Manandona, but literally here in Mahamasina I feel
like I have become a new creature. A new man, and have received a second
chance. To give all and more. Even though there are failures that have happened
in my mission, even though I have done things that I am not proud of....I can
look at anyone in the eye, and with complete confidence say that "I have
changed. I am new, and I will continue to change." And according to what President Adams had taught..."If you are more converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ by the end of your mission, then you are a successful missionary.
Even if you did not baptize a single person." I honestly believe that is
true. With all my heart. The mission has changed me, and I am so thankful for
it.
I love you all and hope you
have a great week.
