This email is going to be a little bit shorter today and for that I apologize...I got a lot on my hands today and we have a lot going on today so I will have to go a little faster on this one,,,
On tuesday the whole set of missionaries in the city of Antananarivo gathered at the mission home to eat together and play games for christmas! That was super duper fun, and we had a white elephant gift exchange, where I came out with an arabic scarf that camel riders wear. We spent the rest of the day just sleeping and relaxing and contemplating Jesus christ and his amazing life and gift.
On wednesday we got back to work and did some visiting with some members and we had to do a lot of tracking down with inactives and work like that.
Thursday I really don't really remember too well, other than I walked a lot and spoke a lot of malagasy. The same really goes for friday.
On saturday we had a huge ward party for christmas! It was really fun and we had a huge blast! I learned how to dance like a native and how to have fun like a native. There was one lady who has a mental illness that was kind of getting out of control...she was just making huge messes and stealing stuff and causing a lot of issues for other people that is easy to understand due to the circimstances given.
Yesterday I played the piano in sacrament meeting because the original piano player was gone for some reason, but I played it and everyone seemed to love the music! So, that was good and I felt a lot of good feelings that day and also I felt the spirit a lot that day which is also very good.
Well, this is the last day of the year of 2018...and I have looked back on all the things that have happened. It truly went faster than any year that I have lived through. The mission has carried the time as if I'm serving my mission in a time machine! Now how cool would that be, serving my mission with the doc from back to the future!? My reaction would probably be, "Great Scott!"
I hope all has been well for all of you and I hope you all have a great rest of your final moments in 2018!
Stay safe!
Elder Johnson
