Felt like a short week this week. Made some super sweet brownies. Made some chocolate chip cookies but I ended up guessing on the margarine since I didn't have the conversions so they ended up kinda weird. Saw a crazy drunk guy who had killed this dog and was draggin it around and throwing it around. The dog had chunks of fur missing and was bleeding and what not. And the guy was like wailing. Took an 8 hour bus ride to Antsirabe for our zone conference. Super long cramped ride on a sucky road. My favorite! :) Elder Hamilton from the 70 i think was there. Hes a general authority. Talked with us and answered questions and stuff. Got some letters from the AP's since they drove up from the mission home. So didn't quite get one in time for my birthday. And unfortunately I have not seen any hippos here. Went to a "real" store in Antsirabe and got some supplies for back in Fianarantsoa. Drove 8 hours back the next day. Annnnnnnd our water is not working. So going on 4 or 5 days without showering or shaving. And not sure if Ill be do laundry for awhile. Or dishes. And I got a cold from riding the dumb taxibruse since I had to sit next to this Italian lady that had a cold. I think I caught it from her. Made a mini Malagasy hymnbook by having a guy photocopy and shrink all the pages and then a guy bind it. Its sooooo cool. He made the pages pink again for some reason even though I had wanted no color.... Then had a mini dance session with two branch missionaries yesterday. Fun. Even with being gone so much still taught a lot and its really cool to see the investigators change and continue to progress. Hopefully the water is fixed soon.
