This week we entertained an Elder in the evening for a few days as he is recovering from surgery and couldn't go out tracting with his companion. He had dinner with us Wed. & Thursday night. Thursday night we fed his companion and one other elder who is going home next week. They watched A Work & A Glory # 3 with us and we talked until it was time for them to go home. On Tuesday we ate at a Mexican-Malagasy outdoor diner and had onion rings, french fries, chicken burritos (kind of) and fried greasy tortillas that you dipped in a white sauce. It was very good, and we went with the A.P.'s.
On 24 July we get to take five Elders to the Lemur Park. President Adams is in Reunion so he asked us to take the departing elders there for their farewell trip. We will leave at 7:00 a.m. and come back that evening. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive there. It should be a fun day. We will be going in Hank the Tank, the big white van that looks like a taxi bus. I will take a picture of it and send it to you. We have been busy taking care of things here in the office, never a boring minute here. We have a large tree outside our office that is called Amontana, or Royal tree. You can't find them in other countries. We took our pictures by it when we first got here. We enjoy sitting under it as it provides a lot of shade. It was under this tree on Oct. 30 1999, that Elder richard G. Scott gave the prayer of dedication for the missionary work in Madagascar. We walk under it almost every day to get a little exercise as we walk around the office building.
We send our love and prayers for all of you and hope you are enjoying your summer.
Love Elder & Sister Cornelius
