MADAGASCAR?

Dan's nephew Tanner, received his mission call today. The family and several of Tanner's friends all gathered at his dad's home to see him open his call. There were maps of the world and of the United States posted on the walls, where everyone could guess where he was going to serve.

Who would of thought the the words Madagascar would come out of his mouth? not anyone in the room, we were all shocked! No one had ever heard of someone serving in Madagascar; but sure enough that is where he is headed in June.

Madi, guessed the closest by putting her initials in South Africa (with my help). She won a gift certificate to Cafe Rio. She was very excited to say the least.

After letting this sink in, we all decided to start researching Madagascar to find out more about this country. All anyone knew was that were was a cartoon movie about this place. Come to find out Madagascar is the 4th largest island in the world, with about 18-20 million people living there. Tanner will be speaking Malagasy and eating a lot of rice.

We are so excited for Tanner and this journey he is about to take. He seems so happy and excited about serving the Lord. I know the people of Madagascar and going to love him almost as much as we do.

This was a great way to spend our anniversary, Happy 16th Dan!
