Well this week was a very sad week because I learned on Monday that I had to leave by Tuesday so I only had one day to say goodbye to the wonderful people in Manandona. But on the bright side I will be able to see my branch missionary from Manandona in 1 transfer when he comes here on his mission.
This week was a crazy week though. We had to cram into a taxi brus again with 4 big missionaries on 3 seats in a van. It is one of the worst things ever but I guess we did survive it and what does not kill you makes you stronger right? We got to the office later that day and headed straight into our areas of tana that we will be serving in.
Well my area is 67ha and it is the middle of the city. It is a great area to work but the worst to live in. We have many rivers running through our area that have poop and a lot of trash. I will try to get a picture of one for you guys one of these days. Also it always smells like a out house wherever you walk. Some good news for now is that right now I do not have any hills to walk up to. The bad news is that when the rainy season comes all of the trash, poop and water will run right into my area. I also have had many wonderful oppurtunities to ride in taxi be's all of the time. These beautiful things are just like taxi bruses but have no limit on how many people they put in them. Also I am a little to big for them so I get to smash my legs in the seats in front of me.
Also our hosue looks like one of the poop rivers in 67ha. But me and one of the other 3 missionaries living in the house got the kitchen and the room with the toilet clean, and it only took like 5 hours. However the great part about my area is that our branch has many return missionaries. We have them for our ward missionaries and our ward mission leader. So hopefully with there help we can get all of the wonderful people that are in 67ha and are ready to hear the gosple to hear the gosple. We also have a beautiful church building here that is 4 stories tall and is just like an american church. I think that this area can be one of the greatest areas in the mission after me and the lord are done here. Well I hope that you are all doing good and have a great week. Love you all!!!

Also hopefully these are my pictures on the computer. But one of them is me and Elder Bowler at the sign of Manandona right before I left there and the other is the view from our Balcany so you guys can see that Tana is a huge city. It is a lot like a New York but no sky scrapers. There is constant traffic and also always a bunch of people on the streets.
