Our first few days..

This is the airport of Douala-home for 3 millon people. It was my first experience in Africa.

This doesn't really do justice to what the streets are really like.  We took this out of our windshield, because people here don't like to have their picture taken.  We have to sneek a picture when we think we can and make sure our window and doors are locked.

On the side of all the roads, where ever there is space people set up booths to sell things.  Some of it is crafts they have made and other times it is just anything they have found.  We were told that when we put our garbage out they will go through it 10 times to look for things of value, even food.

This is Elder and Sister Nuttall who we replaced.  They were here for 4 days to help us get trained and to show us where things are.  They had been here for 2 years and stayed a few extra days so we could learn from the.  They live in Provo.

These are six of the Elders that live in our city Douala. They are in two districts and live in 2 apartments. They are left to right, Elder Hoiland, Elder Rambelosom, Elder Porter, Elder Addington, Elder LaFluer, and Elder Prince. Elder Schmitd and Elder Lavering are missing.

Our district in Bona Priso in Douala. We have another district in Bonoberi.

 So far, they are our favorite part of our mission. They are so noble and amazing. We see them walking down streets of dirt and filth and are smiling and radiant. They inspire us.
