April 21, 2014- Happy Easter

This week has been super stressful while due to my companion being super sick. I went out three days by myself which is super sketchy because I still can't speak the language that well but I do get to teach with the worlds best branch missionaries ever. They know how to help me so much and they are so great at teaching. The thing that I have started to get while I am speaking is a thing called White mouth. This is when you say everthing right but they still don't understand you. Then a Malagasy says it the same way with the same exact words and it makes sense. It is the worst thing ever. This week we taught a bunch of lessons too compared to what we normally do so that added to the excitment. 

We went out to Besoa again this week and we had a little devotional with them. It was one of the saddest things ever because they were so happy that we came out so they could open up there church. They sweep the floor every week even though the church is never used just to make sure if it does get opened back up that the church will be ready. As soon as we sat down they also all started to sing to let everyone know that the church was open. They are some of the most faithful memebers out there. Then they all came to church on sunday making the three hour walk to chuch.

Easter was one of the worst days ever. It is probably the biggest holiday out here. They have a huge party in the town that we live in of Antsirabe and everyone from Manandona goes up there to go to the party. This left very few people to teach and everyone else there was either at there own church because it was easter or had been partying and was passed out on the ground outside. It was a pretty difficult day to teach. We also finished the day by heading home and having a wonderful meal of Romin noodles. What a great day. Good thing we can go and buy more food today. It has been hard to get new investigators but as you can see from our members we have the best members in the world. I also get to watch General conference this week which is super exciting and I can't wait for it. Have a great week everyone and happy Easter.
