I though it might be kinda fun to take you on a photographic journey, if you will, of the island I will soon call home for the next year. I hope you enjoy the pictures I have included of the scenery, the animals, and the people. Soon I will be able to upload my own photos =)...however they most likely will not be quite as good. |
| A lot of people have asked me where Madagascar is....so here you go :) |
 |
| The Malagasy's Flag |
 |
| Their currency is called Malagasy Ariary (MGA) $1.00 Us currency is equivalent to $2,105 MGA. |
 |
| This is a pouse-pouse the main form of transportation in Antsirabe (the city where I will be living) |
 |
| Another pouse-pouse... |
 |

 |
| Baobab tree - common in Madagascar |
 |
| Elephants foot plant |
 |
| The Pitcher plant - a carnivorous plant that eats insects |
 |
| The Fossa! Madagascar's largest carnivore. The animated movie has confused a few people, so lets set the record straight. There are no lions, hippos, or giraffes in Madagascar (also no penguins but I think that goes without saying) |
 |
| Madagascar is famous for Lemurs! The only place they can be found! There are nearly 60 species of Lemur found on the island. |

Chameleon! Over half of the worlds chameleons live in Madagascar! Here are some of my favorites!
And most importantly - the reason for this trip!
Sharing the Gospel with the Malagasy people!

Wow! This is awesome! Please don't get eaten by a fossa...they look mean! You are SO close to your goal! God is GOOD!
