It is now three months since I came to Madagascar and I am very much focused on my mission here.
This past month I have been sickly. I thought I had symptons of malaria or typhoid but that was not confirmed by blood tests in the hospital. So, I was treated for the symptoms that I described and now am okay. Pray for our health as we serve here.
I was happy recently, when I read a biblical text in Malagasy in a Sunday service for the first time since I came here and the locals thought I really tried. I am slowly getting to know the language.
Pray for our security since as foreigners it is assumed we are rich and are likely to be targets of thugs. Actually, my mobile was stolen recently by someone who entered the house when I had gone to church.
Otherwise we continue to learn Malagasy (Gasy), teach English and handle the Saturday English service. Indeed we are fully using the English students, who are not church members, in the English service thereby transforming the face of the church. Now other Anglican churches want a similar program in their churches.
