We have a visitor for the weekend. Brian was Marc and Stacy's team leader during TIMO a couple years ago. In the whole time Marc and Stacy have lived here in Betroky they've never had as many visitors as they've had in the past month. It's nice for me because I get to meet so many missionaries and hear their stories and experiences.
Tonight the three of them discussed issues that arise with parenting as missionaries and the big decisions that must be made, particularly with schooling. It's interesting for me to listen as I have many years ahead of me before I even have children of my own. But it's good to know ahead of time the various decisions that will need to be made and the difficulties we will probably face.
As I was reflecting earlier today on my time here I realized that I'm going to be really sad when I leave. I've developed a good friendship with Stacy, Maria is finally comfortable around me, I enjoy playing with the kids, I'm just now becoming a little more bold with speaking the little Malagasy I know... It's hard to believe I only have two weeks left!
