This weeks email is not that informative. There were tranfers and he has a new companion named Elder Cryer. No pictures until Adam buys a Whatchmacallit...I also still don't know what that big crowd was or if that building is just the church building..I asked he didn't answer.


So we didn't do too much this last week just because of transfers. One thing, Elder El-bakri and I went on splits fri and sat. we had a lot of fun. He was in the group ahead of me so it was interesting to see two not mahay people go out and teach. we did a good job for our skill levels.

The weird things that happened... there were kids that were climbing me like a jungle gym so that was awkward and stuff. I just didn'tknow what to do so I tried staying on the ground.... that wasn't any better than standing. my arms were bright red! Then when we went on a walk to get them away (literally 25 kids were following us) they followed still. SO I asked them if they were good at running... so they said yes and I told them to run as fast as they could. El-Bakri turned to me and said now is the time where we run the other way... so we did and everyone was laughing... but it worked! so that was funny!

The other funny thing from this past week was when I was with El-Bakri on friday night... we convinced one family that I wad training El-Bakri and he had just got there the night before. They finally believed us and he was playing perfectly, just pretending not to know andto ask me everything. We just went on with this for a bit and it was pretty funny! Finally after the lesson they were talking to El-Bakri about things he had tried and hadn't tried so far here in Madagascar. so they asked if he had tried Mangahazo. He told them yes, and they asked where... he said Antsirabe... a place quite a ways from Tana... so yeah... they were NOT happy with me at all! It was funny though! You should have seen their faces and all that! Oh geez! as they say here, Oadray!

Oh, my new favorite word of forever is oa. Forever and a day!

So there will be pictures next week and a memory card going home with a tour of the apartment and other videos. Just let me know of anything else you want me to send home!


Love,

Elder Nash
