Hey Family!!!
It's great to hear all of this great news about you guys! Things are
going good here in mahajanga, madagascar as well! The cyclone didn't
really hit us at all. We got a little bit of rain and wind but that is
all. There is still a nice breeze, which is a very nice thing to have
here in hot mahajanga! My companion and I are still getting along
great and the area is improving very nicely. And I don't know if I
told you this last week or not, but my companion's father is a famous
singer here in madagascar, so a lot of the time when he introduces
himself, people ask him if he's the son of the singer and he's kind of
shy about it, but he says yes. His father left his family when he was
a little little kid though, but he still stayed in contact with him
throughout his life. He's also a twin, but his twin died when he was 4
from food poisoning. He's a really short guy with a sweet spirit, a
strong testimony, and he has the
funniest laugh.
Answers to your questions:
The typhoid girl is completely healed now, and desiring to learn more
about the gospel. We had 15 investigators at church this week from my
area, which was double from last weeks 7. The dumbo boy is just like
me when I was a kid because he has big ears, and yes because he loves
to make everyone laugh and he's crazy. He comes from a really great
family. His sisters played and sang a primary song in our last soiree
because when there mother was alive she always loved hearing them sing
the primary songs, and it reminded me of you, mom, and how much you
and love primary songs. And I'm glad you were able to look at some of
the mormon ads the other night, those are great. The charge that was
on the visa card was from me. And from my research that I've done, I
do need a visa debit card not mastercard. And what are shoe
driers(like how do they work, I know their purpose obviously haha)?
And I don't know the exact date of when ---- brothers mission ends
but I do know that it's some time during this month. Very exciting for
them! I'm sure they're very happy, so I'm happy for them as well! :)
And I'm very very very happy and excited for ---- and -----!
Wohoooooo!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna be an uncle!!!! Congrats on becoming a
grandma and grandpa as well mom and dad! And congrats ---- and -----
on becoming parents!
Well that's really all I have for this week. I'm loving my mission and
am happy for all the great things that are going on in your lives as
well!
Love for eternity,
Elder Waters
God be with you till we meet again
