Almost Done!!!

I have 11 more days before I leave! I can not wait. I had a pretty rough day last Thursday. I ended up staying in the laundry room for 3 hours due to the soap not dissolving and coming out all clumpy on my clothes. That was alright though. I have been doing great.

We had our first TRC lesson last Thursday. It was awesome. We taught a guy named Mitchell. He is a marine and is gigantic. He was shorter than me, but his biceps were the size of my head. I was terrified when I first saw him. The thing that calmed me down was when my companion pulled out his dog tags to tell him that he is in the army and to our surprise Mitchell pulled his out to. It definitely helped us stay relaxed while we taught him.

Before I forget, thank you Beatty family for the Oreo Truffles. They are delicious. I hope that Boyd starts doing well. Nothing amazing has happened this week. We have just been teaching lessons and learning more Malagasy. We still haven't had an apostle come, but the devotionals have been amazing. Tell Kadin that I am proud of him for trying football out for another year. He wont regret it. We will get our flight itinerary tomorrow, not today. I am a little bummed out about that. Yesterday I got to host the new missionaries. It was a blast. We are doing it again next week.

I don't know if I should tell mom this, but our teachers told us to expect skin fungus's. Yes that is plural. One of our teachers lost count of how many he got. they told us that diarrhea is also very common. I don't remember if I told you last week, but they also have open sewage systems so when it floods... It goes everywhere. Yay!! In other words we get to walk through it. I am sure that I will have plenty of those stories to tell while I am out there. Oh another thing, Elder Reich and I are the zone leaders. We were called on Sunday. It has been a blast getting to know all of the elders and sisters in our zone. Sadly they all leave on Monday. We will be the only district for a day. We get new people on Wednesday. I don't think that there is anything else that has happened. I did see the Glaziers as you know, I also saw Brother Melville. I am praying for you. Tiako anao!
