This week has been a crazy week so I will just share a little bit of the things that me and my companion did. We did our service project again. Which is the worst thing ever because Malagasy tools are rediculous but it was fun to do with our members. We also went to a Famadiana or a turning over of the bones.
The Famadiana is just a huge party for the ansestors but now since there is christianity it is pretty much an excuse to have a huge party. It was super fun but all the people here feed me and my companion like three times within 3 hours which was the worst thing ever. For the Famadiana we had to walk up to the Fasana and then they opened the grave and pulled out the old bones. We then had to carry it to the other Fasana like a mile away. It was pretty fun but we had to carry the coffin which was not on the top of my list to do. Then they put on new cloth to the coffin and put they guy in the new Fasana. It was a pretty interesting look into Malagasy culture.
We also have had three branch missionaries get mission calls and the one I always work with is coming to Madagascar. Maybe I will get to be his trainer if I am really luck.
Well This will probably be my last week in Manandona which is sad but right now we are really focussing on the members trying to get them to be strong. I hope that you all have a great week and keep up the good work at home. I love you all.
