Alrighty, sadly, the holidays are over, which means the holiday
Milkshake Menu at Coffee Times will be disappearing. But I guess there's always
next year. New Years was extremely low key compared to back home, we stayed out late enough to see a few small fireworks, but we had to head home.

| Happy New Years |
Holidays here are good, but Malagasies don't really get into holidays here that much. I guess Easter and their independence day are huge, but those won't be for a few months.
Fun little story to kick off the letter: So right now, a ton of
people are harvesting rice. And when they are done smacking all of the rice out
of the little chutes, they just throw the chutes on the ground. So there is a
TON of straw all over the place, huge piles. So the other day, me and a bunch
of kids in Manjaka took turns running to the top of this little cliff, and
tumbling off into the pile of dry straw. It was way fun, we even got some of
their pet dogs in on the fun, ha. Needless to say, with the mix of dry plants,
and animal fur, my allergies were ablaze.

| Elder Landon with a bunch of members/investigators |
Like I said last week, our area is a little shot, but we've been
working hard this week to get more times. Working with members a lot, and
getting a lot of RCLA's (Recent Converts, Less Actives) on the program. Our
ward has a lot of those, so that's kind of our focus, teach some diligent
investigators, but focus on bringing people back that were already baptized. In
the past week, we've noticed that almost every less active has the same thing
in common. They all stopped coming because they got offended by someone else.
We've been teaching a TON of repenting and forgiveness lately, and hopefully
soon we'll see something come of all of it.
Another thing we've been doing lately is watching The
Restoration with investigators. It's such an awesome video, helps explain the
first lesson so much better than we can. We're hoping to keep that going.
Our area is still a work in progress, and hopefully we have some
cool things to share here soon, but until then, I'll try to keep a good load of
pictures up.
Talk to you soon!
Taylor
