This past week was a spiritual emotional and physical roller coaster! I love madagascar with all of my heart and I love the culture so much. I have had a lot of fun in my last week in mahamasina. My new area, Itaosy, is a lot bigger and the house is wayyy better than the house of mahamasina. I am very blessed by the lord to live in such a great house.
Unfortunately, I do not have my planner with me, so this week won't be as detailed...but I will try my best to describe this week....
-I helped to build a house close to my house. It was a really fun ward project, and we got a lot of work done. I got super duper sunburned, which is ok. Nothing like a good burn to let you know that you're alive!
-So we got transfer news on saturday night and Elders Meldrum and Allen are both going to Tamatave! Tamatave is a city a ways off from Antananarivo. It is on the coast and it looks very pretty. Elder Buthelezi is staying in mahamasina while I whitewash Itaosy 2 with elder Webb. He is a really great guy!
-I got a silver ring that I designed. It has (of course knowing me) a galaxy setting with planets and the milky way in it. It is really really cool and it was totally worth the money. Elder Allen was less than satisfied with his, but it was a really cool ring, which I wasn't going to let get wasted so I bought it from him.
I am so grateful for all the support and help and prayers that all of you have sent on my and other missionaries behalf. The lord will definitely bless you all for those prayers and thoughts. I fell compelled to bear a testimony to all in Malagasy.
tena mahafinaritra ny asa fanompoana aty an-madagasikara. Niova fo zaho, ary noho izany ahafanahy mijoro ho vavolombelona aminareo fa tsy tapaka mihitsy ny asan'ny tompo. Koa tsy afaka mihozongozona. Ny fotoana hatry fiandohan'ny misionako dia tena sarotra fa efa nahazo tanjaka ara-panahy zaho noho izany. Fantatro fa tena marina ny Fiangonan'i Jesoa Kristy Ho an'ny olomasiny andro farany. tena fantatro fa mpaminan'i Andriamanitra i Joseph Smith. Nahazo ny fanambarana lay izy mikasika ny fisoronana sy ny filazantsara. Izany no mijoroko ho vavolombelona aminareo, izay ataoko amin'ny anaran'i Jesoa Kristy, amen.
Mazotoa!
Elder Johnson
