so he gave me a lesson in Malagasy. Which i think is funny. So here is what he was writing
Ohetra - Rai Ray an - danitra sounds like (ree ry ahn-dani-ee-cha)
Example - Dear Father in Heaven
Rai Ray Mamako (dear father mother)
Haha, nah, never during devotional (saying he doesnt write letters)
This devotional last sunday was way sweet. We had the MTC president and he is the exe producer of mormon messages and we saw some from 1978 (he thinks-more like 88) and it was awesome. Ya!! The layout of the MTC is way easy. The new schedule is still throwing us off. (referrering to his pday being changed) but it is all good. I know where all the spanish speakers are so i'll talk to them and see whay is up! I found Demetrius the first day and see him all over the place. He is in the same building i am in all day. I'll see what I can do about pictures! Maybe !! =D I'll make sure i email you first so we can chat more. No, no elders have been here longer, they all left and we took their spots, just as the new ones will come whe we leave. Elder Wilson is doing much better! Last night Rahalaly(brother) O'day showed us a new way to study and it clicked for him so, evrything should come a lot easier for him! Which is awesome! Yes. I actually write our stake president every week. we all have to. The TRC is every week, and it is way hard but way cool hearing a return malagsy speak! My toe is still a little red but the nail looks way good! Just takes time! I've also started to get way bomb at basketball! 3 weeks of playing have done things! So, manana finonana(have faith) gets changed to manan-pinonana! Also, you could do one that says this " Aza ahiahy, manan-pinonana!" Midika(meaning) Don't doubt, have faith. It is preety sweet! Tia anao aho! Avy amin,
Elder Shaw
p.s. wher is my letter from Lilly and Taytum? and Camryon and TY? I already talked to Dayna

My Missionary Commission
MY MISSIONARY COMMISSION
I am Called of God. My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my Master and he has chosen me to represent him. To stand in his place, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering to the very people to whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words, and my doctrine is his doctrine. My commission is to do what he wants done. To say what he wants said. To be a living modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter-day work.
-Elder Bruce R McConkie
