good fries

Sunday dinner in the dark. (The power was out)

10-13-14

Pretty good week. I have become an expert at making fries during this week! I've made them almost every day. And they are pretty cheap because I just reuse the oil over and over and potatoes are cheap. So that was sweet. Found these crazy bugs in these trees and they all just sit there and bubble and this liquid stuff drops from them on people. Tay Tay Sola are the bugs names and they are way weird. Oh yes and so apparently I was told this Sunday I will be giving my talk. So that's cool. So our DMB and good friend Patricque asked to borrow my old camera to use for the JAS trip to Rano Mafana so yeah I let him and I asked him to proofread my talk because not only is he amazing in French, and English but also in Malagasy. So he did that for me and made a few grammatical corrections for me. I was surprised most of it was good haha. Then Thursday my comp was sick so I got to sit in the apartment and study all day. Yay. Oh Wednesday morning I also cut my own hair for the first time on my mission and it went without a hitch! It was nice. Apparently October is the hottest month here in Fianarantsoa and it is fairly hot. Not as hot as Idaho/Boise gets but its more humid and sticky here. So kinda worse. And Saturday my suit was supposed to be done but unfortunately it will not be done til Wednesday now.... So pictures of that for next week! And things are going well.

Bonus add on!
For my talk between sitting on the stand and actually giving it I drank 1.5 liters of water.

So not much this week. Monday we rushed up to Antsirabe. There we spent some time. Then the other Fianarantsoa elders went to Tana tuesday morning. And I stayed in Antsirabe, Went on some splits. Tuesday I ate at this hotely and dinner had noodles. Wednesday morning at 3 I puked a ton. Then Wed I didnt eat breakfast or lunch and went on splits with the zone leaders. Then we went to Pizza In and I got pizza and icecream. Thrsday morning I had some choc cereal and didnt eat lunch. Then I puked again at like 3 in the afternoon. Fun, My new companion came Thursday morning. Hes french. But speaks english pretty well but has a strong accent...Friday drove all the way back and rerranged our house. Yippee having six people in our house now is a little crowded. Only have one toliet and one water heater. But everything else should be good, there are two showers... Then Sat we got a new phone since our area split. I checked on my suit and its looking sick... and it will be done next sat! Ill have to send pics, its the sickest! Pres Adams came saturday and we had this meeting thing at our church and him his wife and the clowards took us to dinner at their hotel. My stomach was still wishwashy and even though it was way expensive I was kinda dissappointed in the food. For the price. Sunday was fast sunday. Yep no general conference yet. Got jutop but they all suck except for Guovay, the strawberry and grenedelle and fruit cocktail are all undrinkable- I dont know how anyone stomachs that stuff. And BYU lost, Taysom broke his leg and Alabama lost. Wow that sucks,

So yeah crazy week, Found this place to make a custom made suit and the colors for it are going to be the best! I cant wait to wear it when I get home. Tried making chocolate pancakes but they didn't really work out. I went on a split with the area in Fianaratsoa South, and it was weird. We had to ride bikes and the bikes there are not the best. The chain fell off of my bike like 6 times and it had like 2 gears but would not change like at all. The biggest piece of junk that I've ever ridden, Zone leaders came again for splits and brought some things I asked for from Antsriabe since they have a Shoprite. I got 10 jutops guovay and some oats and brown sugar. Hiked the whole mountain to find out the investigators there weren't home. So that was like a 2 hour hike for nothing.... Had a party dinner with our DMB Friday night at Sophias. Then we had our baptism Saturday morning. We had some from both branches. 3 investigators from ours and a 8 year old girl. So yeah I baptized two of them and his dad baptized him and the 8 year girl, hes also the 2nd counselor in our branch presidency. Prepared my talk for Sunday morning. Then at church Sunday we had the confirmations and everything. Then the couple missionaries were handing out award things for like 20 something minutes and they do the whole french custom kiss the cheeks which made it even longer. So there ended up not being enough time for me to give my talk, but next week I guess. So got transfer news. I'm getting a new companion and hes french. But since the other two in my area are training and going down to Tana to get the companions I had to come down to Antsirabe with them to stay with some missionaries. So fun like a 7-71/2 hour drive on a cramped bus for pretty much nothing. Yippee. He apparently is at least somewhat decent at English. That's good.
