JUST CRUISIN

Well im getting used to Mada now. I hate to ride the pousse pousse because you see this poor little man pulling you and he doesnt even have any shoes. its horrible. if i have to walk several miles or take a pousse pousse to get there.......i will walk.i feel so bad for those little guys. some branch missionaries brought over some legit malagasy whips and i gave those a try. It was fun. some neighbors came over wondering why we were shooting guns HAHA. the crack from the whips is awesome.

Heaven on Earth

well everyone sorry to say but Mada is the best mission there is. i have been in my area 3 days and on saturday i baptised two people. and wil be doing for like the next oh....22 months. riding pousse pousse is fun and the food is....enough.my butt isnt liking Mada but it will just have to get used to it. using french keyboards suck. My comp is an albino malagasy who speaks fluent french and english. and im gonna sy that having 20 invetstigators to church every sunday is awesome. and teaching 10 lessons a day wears you out. Stay diligent.

Cooper's First Adventure....Trying to Leave

We got Cooper's flight itinerary and he was ready to leave on Monday, but when an unexpected flight delay halted everything. Since the flight delay was soo long 3 hours long, they wouldn't make their connection in LA. So they are brought back to the MTC for the night and started over again today. So here is the new flight itinerary

Tuesday, March 5: Salt Lake to Dallas, leaving at 12:45pm arriving in Dallas at 4:26pm
Tuesday, March 5: Dallas to London, leaving at 7:40pm cst and arriving in London 10:45am (london time)
Wednesday, March 6: London to Johannesburg, Africa leaving at 7:10pm (London Time) and arriving in Johannesburg at 6:55 am (So African time)
Thursday, March 7: Johannesburg to Antananarivo, leaving at 10:00am and arriving in Madagascar ????

We hope he can make all the flights. There is a group of 8 of them going to Madagascar so we hope they can find their way. We hope their luggage will find them well because it left last night during their first flight that was cancelled so good to the luggage.
Cooper is doing real well and feels confident in the language but will have to learn more there. On the Job training. He has been the Zone Leader in the MTC for the past 2 months. He gets along well with those in his district and is ready to leave and get on with the work. When we get pictures and more information from him we will pass it on.
