Adam is picking up the language very quickly. He told his sister that he can joke with his teachers in Malagasy. He wrote to me "I have been getting better at making analogies in Malagasy so I can actually teach instead of say little shorter things. It makes it a lot easier. Yesterday I had to explain the difference between the writings in the bible and book of mormon and why the scriptures aren't exactly the same." He is very excited to get to Madagascar and leaves on Feb. 1st. He has gained some weight around 5 pounds or so. I have heard that they lose about 20 pounds while they are there. Adam will come home a stick person!
