Hey Everybody!
The work is going great! Sorry for the short letter this week--we're super busy.
Pew Full of Fidgety Midgets
Rodrick's family came to church again! He and his wife decided to bring all the kids within a stone's throw--that being a million here in Madagascar. What we got was a pew filled to the brim with a dozen lil' kids fighting, crying and crawling under the pews and blinded by the bright side, I made the mistake of sitting between all of them.
Honing in on my staggering knowledge about babies I gained in the Human Development class I took at BYU, I asked everybody to raise their hands if they need to go pee before church. Of course, all of them rose their hands as high as they could, so I took the congregation to go pee. After that was over and done with, church started, and of course again, one of the younger girls leaned over to me to nervously whisper, "I have to pee." In a precipitous dash, all of the kids pushed there way out and flooded into the halls, diffusing in all different directions. I desperately ran after them grabbing the stragglers hoping the others I couldn't find were at least peeing in the right place. Finally, I rounded them all up, put them in a formation and quietly marched them back to their seats. Phew.
David
Sneaky guy this David. He asked me if I could write an English essay on the environment for him, didn't matter what, but just about the environment...and in perfect English. I blackmailed him saying I would help him sin once if he came to church and repented twice, since he's already been learning from us for awhile. He accepted. Sunday came around, no David. Sneaky guy.
Malagasy Morsel of the Week - Fofom-bady
When you combine 'fofona' (smell) and 'vady' (spouse), it makes 'fofom-bady' which means 'fiancee'. "Are you guys married or just smelling it? Eh? You smelling what I'm putting down?"
Love you all!
