New Calling

Manahoana!

This last week went really well and it went really fast as well. I would like to announce that I am now the district leader for Itaosy 1 and 2 and for ampidiatafika 1 and 2. I feel that I will do ok and that with the lord's help I will be able to be a good servant. We also had a baptism last saturday and I baptised my 6th person on the mission: Rakotomalala Durot. He is a 12 year old boy and he is a very dilligent learner. I love the guy to death and I hope that he can continue on his eternal path to happiness.

-Tuesday went really well. I got sick again with a cold so tuesday and wednesday I didn't really do anything except for study and prepare for lessons and for the upcoming baptism. On wednesday we did have a baptismal interview for Durot. It went well and he passed without a single problem. I have been so blessed to be able to work with him.

-Thursday went well too; We had our last district meeting and we had a big focus on the scriptures and how we can better use them in our lessons. We went and taught Tafita about the last part of the plan of salvation. right about in the middle of the lesson, one of her little kittens jumped out of the window and came back with a rat in its mouth, which really upset Soeur Jasmine and eventually got the rat out of its mouth and back outside. 

-Friday was our last weekly planning session of the transfer. We got a lot of nice planning done and I could really feel Elder Leavitt and I get closer as we did companionship inventory. We haven't had any problems, but It is really nice to be able to get to know him better.

-Saturday was Durot's baptism. I baptised him and the water was just about as cold as mahamasina's water except it wasn't nearly as dirty as mahamasina. We didn't really get to teach anyone that day because of the baptism. The bishop was a little late so I had to extend the prelude music by about 20 minutes.

I love to look down at my chest and look at my shining black badge and look at the name of my father with the name of the savior and know that I am helping souls recieve salvation. It is one of the most satisfying feelings I have felt.

I hope you all have a great week! Mazotoa!
