Mutation

Bonjour!!!

This was such an awesome week! I don’t know if dad is still checking the weather everyday but it cooled down a lot this week, it was so nice. It hasn’t rained yet which is annoying, but the sky gets dark every day. The mornings are awesome, I almost get cold as Elder hall and I do our push ups and situps on the balcony. So transfer news woohoo only two missionaries got transfer letters in yaonde and it was my companion and I. Crazy right. Companions for 5 weeks. I loved Elder Mongo and we transformed eleveur together, but I think it was because of that work we got the letters because now Eleveur will have 4 missionaries instead of just two. So technically my companion and I are in the same branch but we are splitting the sector. Its going to be rough for me the first coulpe weeks because 95 percent of our amis are in his area, but its all going to work out. I am probably going to walk and contact a lot this week, visit non actives, and serve the members when I can find them. So new Companion too. He is coming from Duala tomorrow. He is two weeks older than me as a missionary like Elder Mongo. The fun fact about him is that he is from Madagascar! His name is Elder RAMANANTSOA which is pretty sweet. Apparently he sings well and cooks well and works hard so it will be fun. I prayed so much to stay in Eleveur and I get to, so that was great. Next Sunday is the first Sunday in the new church building for eleveur and our whole branch is excited. It is so much closer and for the people who have been walking an hour and 15 minutes to church every Sunday this new building is such a blessing. For missionary work as well. I have already talked to many members about them bringing amis to church now because it is so close, so I really hope the work explodes here. Im still with Elder Hall which is fun. We have kitchen chats nearly everynight after dinner and its pretty awesome. I got a haircut 20 minutes ago and it’s a bit rough, but when are my haircuts ever perfect? That’s about it. The French is coming along as well. Our neighbors have been super quiet this week which was great except the roosters that start cock a doodling at 330 am. Other than that all is well!! Love you guys!

1. So one of the random services we did was peel a bunch of very unripe little bananas. I dont know if you have ever tried peeling a completely green right off the tree banana, but you have to use a knife and carve it off. Afterwards our ami told us to come back to eat a bit. So we did. Here is boiled unripe bananas with a super spicey peanut butter sauce. It was REALLY good. My american tastebuds are pretty much gone.

2. Goodbye Elder Mongo :'(

3. Eleveur! This is a nicer neighborhood
