December 5

I got some more letters this week! I'm now up to 56. Thank you mom for the letters. I read every single one, and thanks Dad for the emails. How is Bro Ellsworth doing? I'm hoping to send an email today to Orson and Spencer.

The rainy season has begun. It rained Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Most of those days I got soaked. Saturday and Sunday it didn't rain. Luckily it doesn't rain all day every day, it usually rains in the afternoon and evenings. Sometimes it will only last 30 minutes and other times it lasts 12 hours. I wish I could take a picture of the rain here. Rain in California doesn't even come close. Roads and paths literally turn into rivers. I've started wearing sandals every day because my shoes were always soaked. However, I'll have to go back to real shoes for a bit because I hurt my toe playing basketball this morning and I don't want it to get infected.

Thursday we helped a sister in our ward who had to re-plaster the inside of her house because it was falling apart. We helped remove the old stuff (its more like concrete than plaster) and learned how to throw the new stuff on. It was fun, but much harder than people make it look.

Got transfer news yesterday. After 7 months of being in Ambohipo, I'm headed to Anjanahary (Still here in Tana). My new comp was actually Elder Jackson's comp in the MTC. His name is Elder Beeson and he from America but not from UT.

Hopefully I'll know more about when I can skype next week! I cant believe its already December! It feels a lot like Christmas last year, hot and not a whole lot like Christmas. Oh well, this is the last one I'm missing. On the bright side we have already started singing Christmas songs in church!! (... granted they are in French and I don't understand the words.) I'm way excited to call though.

Well word of the week is miandry which means to wait.
