The field was definitely a Malagasy field. No grass, just straight dirt. It was so rough, freaking hot African sun beating down on us, slipping all over the place. And of course all of the Malagasies were pro as ever. It was a way fun game though, after the game we all hauled huge bags of bread and bananas into the shade and got to relax.
Splits again this week, too. I stayed in Ampefiloha, and Elder Ramahafadrohana came out with me. He is from Analamahitsy, he is 25. We had so much fun, I love my Malagasies. We ate a ton of rice, and he taught me an outrageous amount of slang. I got him to come work out with me at the gym, too. I taught him how to use a treadmill, too. He was so weirded out. But he got the hang of it.
I have found a new love for bargaining here, too. I love it, people always try to rip us off because we are white. There is a huge outdoor market that sells a ton of sick stuff, and its so easy to get people to drop prices.
Hey, your'e my friend, I'll give you this watch for 32 thou.
Make it 5
Are you kidding me? My boss will kill me.

Fine.
Thats just one example. I love it, I have so much stuff I dont even need just because its so easy to get stuff for nothing.
Time.. its a strange thing for a mission. They tell it to you the day you enter the MTC, days go by slow, weeks go by fast. Its been pretty spot on in this area. Marsh hits his year mark this Thursday, then my group is next up. Way sick, crazy too.
The new converts are doing good. Lalaina is going to find out in a few weeks if he is getting his green card. He is planning on moving to America. I talked with him for like an hour about it. It would be so sick. I told him that if he goes, they have to visit my home. He would do work in America. I am praying for him and his family to be able to go.
Anyway, it's a short one this week. Transfer news is this next Sunday, so next week I will let you know of any changes.
Thanks for everything!
Taylor
