So here goes a few things about what happened this past week. I'll start with friday, since there isn't much to say about the other days yet! When we were teaching a lesson about the book of mormon and going to assign a page for them to read, a fly lands on the page.... and just as anyone else would Elder Cryer flicks the fly so it wouldn't be on the page... and it gets stuck in between the pages. Why it would be different I don't know. So he flips the page back over and the fly flies off, and it pooped on the page. Way to go satan, poop on scripture... not :/
So our taksibe ride to church, bear with me as you may not understand since you have never been in madagascar.
So, we took a taksibe to Analakely to go to conference with our ward yesterday, and the guy asks for the money before the first stop, a little strange, usually they collect it every 3 stops. Whatever I give it to him. We stop at the next stop and out of no where he runs over to the next door on the other side and starts pulling something out, talks to the driver and runs off with some cash... and a bottle.The taksibe was out of gas. Nice way to make us really late. So then after that the driver gets out and starts calling out where the taksibe is going as he waits for the caller to come back and fill up the taksibe with enough gas to get to the station. How nice isn't it?
Also, During Ballard's talk (we only had one session in malagasy, 4 in english at the office with all the other missionaries) he mentioned an Elder Nash who served in South America, so everyone in the room stared at me, and I just cheered like it was something awesome I did. pretty random yet cool at the same time!
OH, so I have some stories about english class, since I teach it once a week, people were asking me how to say certain things in english, like how do you say it when some one gets menatra (bashful) on stage and can't sing anymore, it took me 20 minutes to say it was embarrassing they thought I didn't know my own language at all... ridiculous. I am not that stupid, I know simple words like that, and they said it was something different.
OH I did get the candy, just wait till you watch the video, I believe I tell you about everything, but I was so happy when I got my package I was ready to cry, American candy is so freaking good! I love it so much!
Well that's about it for now, thank you so much for sending me the package! I am eating it so slowly cause I want it to last, but I'm sure it will be gone soon... give it 3 more days.
Talk to you soon!
Elder Nash
