We just received the October Ensign and on page 69 is the story of Bishop Roger's family's conversion to the gospel. Bishop Roger is Bishop of the Ward the meets right after ours in our building. They are an amazing family.
Greg has been working on a storm drain project not far from our house this last week. He has had several meetings with Bishop Roger and the Fukotany President for that area this last week. He will be write about this project and send pictures soon.
Sedi, the young man in the middle of the picture, and his wife had their first baby last month. Sedi is a clerk in the Manikabahiny Stake in charge of processing visas for local missionaries going out to serve. Liz, from the area office in South Africa, came over last month for several days to train the mission staff, Frede and I, and the two Stake Clerks here in Antananarivo, Sedi and Ernest, with regard to visas. We all went out to dinner one evening and Liz and I were giving Sedi a hard time about how he will now need to change diapers half of the time. We're not sure we convinced him.
In the September 10 Church News there is an article about the Church in Madagascar, down in Monandona. This is down by where the Todd's are serving, near Antsirabe. Monandona is the town where Colton Babb is curently serving. It was written by a missionary who went home just before be got here.
Pretty amazing to have two articles about Madagascar recently, when it wasn't even really on our radar until the first of May!
This is an amazing place and the people are wonderful!
Love the update mom. It will be fun to see more of the drainage project dad is playing with. Hope you post some pictures of you too. We miss you :)
