TRANSFERS!!!

Well I don't have very much time, but I just wanted to write home and give a quick update of what's happening here in Madagascar. Everything is going great! The weather is cooling down which is nice. That means that I can wear a sweater. That might not seem that cool, but it's a big deal to us missionaries because that means instead of just choosing if I want to wear brown, grey, or black pants, and which tie to wear I can also choose if I want to wear a sweater or not, and I have three colors to choose from and I have to make sure that it matches my pants. Big decisions!!! 

So this transfer brought some big changes for me! I have been working with Elder Covey, but this transfer we got put into a foursome, so now it's me, Elder Covey, Elder Rasmussen, and another Elder named Elder Wiscombe. Yep, I'm working with Elder Rasmussen again!!! We were so excited when we found out! It's been a ton of fun and we're way excited for the rest of the transfer! We have planned to try to do splits with every single missionary in the mission this transfer, so that will be great! 

Our investigators are doing great! Tina and Harilala are going to be getting baptized on June 4th and they are so so so ready! I want to baptize them so bad, but we're really going to try to encourage them to have their son do it. He is preparing to go on a mission. I can't think of too many things cooler than getting to baptize your parents right before you go on a mission! 

Other than that, we had a great p-day today! We played soccer against one of the wards here in tana. they are pretty good, but we beat them 5-4! It's a pretty bad field (if you call it a field). It's just a big open dirt area that they draw lines on using crushed up charcoal. But it's still really fun! And then we came back to the office and played basketball with a bunch of missionaries for a couple hours! I couldn't have asked for a better pday. 

Lately I've been working on pondering the things I've studied, and just pondering life and the scriptures in general. The thing I have really noticed myself pondering more than anything is the savior's life and Atonement. I try to think of a story, and then put myself right in the middle of it as a bystander. It's a cool little strategy I learned from President Foote this week. I really like it, it really makes the scriptures come to life. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that he lived a perfect life and performed countless miracles here on Earth. I know that the ultimate miracle he performed was taking upon Himself our sins, dying for us, and taking His life again on the third day. Jesus Christ lives. He lives.

Love you all! Have a great week!
