Hello All!!
This week was good in terms of
work. We accomplished a lot and saw some improvements in our area, we are
hoping for some baptisms here in a little bit. We have one planned for August
31st, and that is for a part member family and the husband will be doing the
baptism, and we are hoping to give this awesome family a date in October,
but.... the father currently smokes about 20 cigarettes a day, and it is going
to be hard for him to quit. He loves the teachings, he loves church, and he
embraces all of it, except for the Word of Wisdom, he is still hesitant, even
though he has admitted that smoking is not good for him, but he is trying to rationalize it out in his head.
Today for P-Day we traveled to
67 HA (as pronounced here, Soixante Sept) and bought kravaties(ties) because
they are so so so so so cheap. I purchased 7 ties today for a whole total of
3500 ariary, which is 500 ariary a piece, or 25 cents. Some of them are pretty
good quality as well. See attached picture.
Here is the thing about
Soixante Sept. Antananarivo is one of the dirtiest cities in the world. The
number I keep hearing is the 2nd dirtiest city. I have also heard that the
number one city doesn't have missionaries, making Tana the dirtiest city in
which missionaries are. Soixante Sept is the dirtiest area in Tana, and
therefore absolutely filthy. Attached is a picture or two of a river in 67 HA.
This is not even the worst river, and the smell almost killed me. It is rather
dirty. I have pretty much decided that there is nothing that will phase me when
I return to the US.
Looking forward to another
awesome week. Just for information, transfers came and went last week without
any changes for me, which was a given, on the September transfer, we are almost
100 percent sure that my companion will be transferred and then I will stay in
Ankadindramamy until either end of October of December, at which point, who
knows.
