Malagasy lessons

Many people are asking how my Malagasy lessons are going. Well I hope to be able to attach a video of me singing Silent Night. I have been practicing the last few weeks with my teacher with the hopes of memorizing it before Christmas. There are three stanzas and the words are nothing like the words in our English version, but the tune is the same.

Wonderful day


Yesterday was such a great day. First I went with some friends to the club to go swimming. We spent a couple of hours having fun in the water. After that I came home and quickly showered and changed to go to a talent show with the youth at the church I attend here. It was very nice with several of the youth performing dances, reading poems and singing songs both in English and Malagasy. After the show I dropped my friend off and went to another friends house to give Christmas presents to her children and had fun with them. I think the only bummer of the whole day was on the way home from the store with them the baby decided to do a first. His first time to vomit. I'm not talking baby spit up, but all over his mom, her purse, the center counsel and himself. When we got back to her house she had the worker clean the car and her and the baby both needed a bath and clean clothes. Then when I came home I made popcorn for dinner. A great end to a wonderful day.
