So sunday the deaf guy came again! So this time he taught me more signlanguage, AND I had to translate for him when he bore his testimony! I was so freaking scared! He kept telling me thank you so much, and that God helps me with it because I am a missionary. I really like him, and I wish I knew signlanguage, but really I am not that good, and malagasy signlanguage is nothing like any other kind, since malagasy isn't anything like english. It's a whole different way of thinking! crazy huh? Your son can communicate with deaf people in madagascar now, just not really really well.
At our ampefy trip (I saw a road sign and realized I spelt it wrong in the last email) we had a lot of fun. I saw that huge waterfall and some gysers. I really enjoyed it and I saw how people live without electricity! It was really cool!
The people were actually really surprised at the gysers! They had rarely if ever seen white people before, then when they saw some that spoke their language they were even more shocked! They gave me a piece of sugarcane which tastes really good by the way! It's called fary here (fah-ree but the r is flicked a little) which was really really cool!
Also, back at the water fall, I was attacked by souvenir sellers, so right before I got in the car to go to the gysers, a little girl asked me if I wanted to by one, so I started asking her prices, and this is how our conversation went:
Free!
No
10 ariary
no
20
no
30
no
50
no
100
no
200,000
no.... yes!
and I laughed because she told me that 200000 wasn't enough money for a souvenir, which was pretty funny! she was a little bitter about it, but thery sold a lot of souvenirs to other missionaries so I didn't feel too bad.
That's about all I have, there are a lot of pictures, but that's it. I will write more next week!
