Analamahitsy Week 7 & 8

This week we had TRANFERS!!!!!!! Yes that is a big deal! Transfers is the only thing that brings big change into the life of a missionary. So this transfer has been kind of crazy for me. My last companion, Elder Te'e, got sent to Tamatave which is like 9 hours north east and on the beach. I'm so jealous! And my new companion is named Elder Anderson. He is from Idaho and has been out almost a year. He is two transfers ahead of me. He lived with me last transfer and his area was right next to mine. That is important because we had 10 missionaries go home this transfer and only one come which means that they had to close like 3 or 4 areas. To avoid closing an area they decided to combine my area (analamahitsy) and his area (sabotsy namehana). Now we have the biggest area in the whole mission. It is super hard though because he has a calandar and investigators that he has been teaching and I have a calandar and people I have been teaching, but now we have to combine our programs and everything. And our area is so big that we can't work half of the day in mine and half in his or else we just get caught in traffic and end up squished on a taxi-be between a window and a lady breast feeding her 4 year old child! So we basically spent this whole week saying goodbye to people with Elder Te'e and then trying to rebuild our program with all of our investigators and members. One upside to it is that we have a HUGE house and there is only two of us that live in it so we don't have to fight over the shower or washer/dryer or who didn't do their dishes or anything. It's kinda quiet, but not too bad because we get along really well and talk a lot.

Church this week was great! The last few weeks I have been trying to get memebers to see the importance of missionary work, and yesterday our ward mission leader had a meeting with all of the young single adults and mad a plan to have them visit a few families in the ward. And then we went and met with our elders' quorum president and talked to him about home teaching and he said he is going to try to make a better list and really get that going so hopefully we will have members helping us with our work in that way soon because right now we are basically the home teachers for the ward I feel like! haha 

Other than that not too much has happened here. Elder Glazier is still safe and healthy and loving his mission! The church is true and God loves you! Have a great week everyone! 

Love, Elder Glazier
