Holding aces right now...

Hey everybody!

Quick email again sorry! Work's going great! Elder Bingham and I are holding aces right now and are compatible with the way we teach and get along with each other. Love the guy!

Rodrick

Perfect combination: one smart couple that owns a brick house and a deluge of family and friends visiting from the edges of Madagascar with no church to go to! We had already been pushing Rodrick and his wife to come to church, them always leaning on the edge of yes or no; however, last lesson, after we extended the commitment of coming to church, one of their guests abruptly announced with a lot of gusto, "We're all going!" Everybody nodded.

Eleven new investigators to church, haha! Too bad 9 of them are heading out to each of their homelands again in the next couple weeks.

Caesar on Priesthood

The way we teach Caesar is different. He'd rather not listen to the whole explanation of the lessons, wasting precious time in his life he says, but now simply reads, asks and gives us homework.  Last lesson, he requested a full, tricked-out, step by step order of the Priesthood Quorums from Prophet to Deacon as well as the responsibilities of each office. He then continued to ask the organization of Relief Society, Sunday School, etc. It really tested our memories of being a CTR 8 or Valiant 10. In reality, it was almost discouraging how tough it was, and I recall mentioning a couple times to Caesar, "Heh, I'm not even a good member." Though, he got a hoot out of that; plus, my personal studies have gotten better this week.

Split in Mahamasina

I never want to work in this area again. Great views < Horrible hills (The one black and white picture was taken by another Elder)
