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.
