The Tremendous Transfer

So, the biggest news since last P-day is transfers..... Drumroll please, Elder Miner is staying in Ouemo and his companion will be..... ELDER KESSLER! That's right, no changes for us two. Elder Kessler has been here since I got to New Caledonia, and he'll pass his year mark here. But, we will be together for our birthdays, so that'll be cool, his birthday is October 7th and mine is the 11th, so that'll be fun. The rest of our district stayed the same too, except the trio of sisters changed sectors. 

Other than that, missionary work has basically stayed the same. We've had some trouble getting in contact with Alexia again, but that's somewhat par for the course. We've been trying to find like crazy to get ready to baptize like crazy in October, but I don't really have any good stories from that... I do want to give a shoutout to the Elders in Kone, the farthest North sector. They had a baptism this past week, the first in at least 10 years, if not ever. The work is really starting to move here, it's amazing to watch. It's great to be part of a mission where the culture is continuing to change for the better. 

Love you all back home! I love all the stories from your lives, whether you're on missions too or just living life back home! 

See you soon,

Elder Miner

The district of Magenta.

We went to the WWII museum last week, it was way cool and very well done. America basically changed cultural relations here between the French and native Kanaks, and left behind infrastructure like roads and airports. Thousands of Americans passed through here either going to, returning from, or recovering from battle in the Pacific.

Some of the money here. The top red one is the equivalent of a $100 bill here, but it sure doesn't go as far...
