It has been a great week. Thursday, I got my "son" or trainee. His name is Elder Jackson and from Salt Lake City, Utah. He is a pretty cool guy. We are having fun together. It's fun seeing him because it reminds me of when I came into country. It will be cool to see him progress! In the meantime, I'm going to have to do a lot of explaining.
Friday, I got pink eye. So I went and got some drops from a pharmacy. Medicine here in Mada is very inexpensive compared to America.
That brings us to Sunday. We had stake conference, and it was way cool. Elder Stanley G. Ellis of the seventy was there. He called seven random people up to give talks. It was fun. He also gave a great talk. Basically, God has a plan for us, and we need to not follow our own plans when they conflict with God's plan. Really fun story-- Since Elder Ellis doesn't know Malagasy there was a translator. At one point Elder Ellis said, "inspired message", and the translator just said, "Hafatra", which means message, and then Elder Ellis leaned over and asked him if he said inspired message. The translator repeated, "Hafatra avy andanitra", which means inspired message.
Well word of the week is fanafody which means medicine.
