Dear Elder(haha get it, Elder=Older) Family,
The wildlife adventure was way cool. And yeah, I'm getting a little bit tan now, it's still hot here in mahajanga, but because there was a little bit of breeze this morning, a lot of the people got there biggest jackets out this morning and put them on haha. There's only three areas here in Madagascar that do not have to wear out suits each Sunday during the winter months(here, that is the months that don't have an "R" in the name of the month), and my areas one of them ha! This week was lots of fun having President Donnelly and his wife here with us for half of the week. We found a new house that we're going to move into at the end of the month, we'll see if I'm still here at that point. When you're with President, you get good food! So that was one of the other nice things about having them here. And also with Elder ---- moving, I became the district leader here. It doesn't really add any responsibility to me though, which is nice and just fine with me. All it adds to my responsibility is doing splits with the other elders in my district, leading district meetings, and taking care of pouch(the districts money for various things we need). Also, there will still be baptisms on my birthday, but not from my area, but from my old area here in mahajanga. The people that were supposed to get baptised this Saturday in my area aren't ready just yet, but they will be soon.

But WOW, three packages?! What did you guys send me haha? I guess I'll see soon! And yes, parents can come to the mission reunion in South Africa in 2020! Come with me! And I don't think the croc's are really protected here at all, but I haven't seen them hunted at all either. I liked hearing about Uncle ----'s new cowboy boots and hat, it sounds like he's probably looking like a stud now! I'm glad to hear all of the great news from guys! Thanks a lot for the email, and all the other information you gave me, and for the picture of bentely haha!
I need to go, but I hope you guys have a great week and that your shoulder heals quickly and that Brother ---- can figure out what's wrong with it.
I love you guys for eternity,
Elder Waters
God be with you till we meet again
