Manakory!
Well, Elder Stringfellow's time in Tamatave has
come to an end.....I have been transferred to Andranomanelatra in
Antsirabe (Here is a Link with Info on the Area) with Elder Mumford! I AM SO PUMPED! Antsirabe has a ton of
Mountains and is a lot colder than Tamatave! Antsirabe is one of
the coolest areas in the mission and I can't wait to work there! By
the way, Elder Stringfellow will have to learn how to drive
stick so please pray for him, haha! To make matters even better I'll be
heading down with Elder Herrin and we'll be leaving together
again! He will also continue to be my Zone Leader!
I have loved everyday in Tamatave and it was
really hard to say my goodbyes this week! I have become so close to so
many people here Tamatave and the people of Ankirihiry have a
special place in my heart! I am going to miss this place so much and
I am so grateful for the time I had to serve here!
That's everything that's happened with transfers
but now here's what happened this week! Mom, please don't freak out when you read this
but I got to visit a Malagasy dentist this week! Haha, it was awesome
and I have some weird feeling that you're going to freak out!
Don't worry, I just had
a filling or something fall out and I decided
that I wanted it fixed! Luckily, one of our investigators is a dentist
so I just asked him and he did an awesome job! No shots, no pain, no
nothing! The dentist
office was a little sketchy and luckily I took
pics to show you all! Again, please don't freak out! I am perfectly,
100 percent healthy!
This week we had a BAPTISM! I was so blessed of
having the opportunity to baptize Tonya! I know I told you
last week that her brother was going to do it but last Monday night
the family decided
that I was going to do it! The service was
awesome and we had a lot of members come for support! Yesterday Tonya
became a member of the church and received the Holy Ghost! It was
probably one of my favorite days in my mission so far! After the
service we all headed over to the New Church (which opens this Sunday)
and moved chairs in! I missed it by one week but I'm so glad it's
finished! It looks awesome and the members of Tamatave are going to
love it!
Well, this is my last letter that I'll be
sending from Tamatave! I'm going to miss this place like crazy but I'm
excited to leave! I can't wait to work with Elder Mumford in
Andranomanelatra and I can't wait to see how the work is going! As always, I love
you all so much and I hope everyone has a good week!
Love
Elder Stringfellow
