Hi Family!

Every fast Sunday the Palmers have the 8 missionaries in Rwanda over for dinner. We went last night and had a good time and ate some real food :)

 Forgot to mention last week... Did you get an email from a random person? Elder K has some distant cousin that was in Rwanda for the LDS wheelchair donation thing. She took us out to dinner the other day and got a picture with us to send to you.
 
My apartment is in Kagugu and we work in the city -forgot the name of it.  So I have to take a taxi everyday for 200 Francs. I think that's just over a quarter? Sometimes it's a small bus and you have a little room but usually we get stuck in a van smaller than ours. It has seats for like 12 people but they fit in over 20. You're wedged into the bench and there's people pretty much sitting on your lap. And it's hot and everyone is sweaty and stinky. Pretty uncomfortable. And sometimes if we have to go a shorter distance we'll pay to be transported on a pedal boda. Just a bike with a seat on the back. That's actually kinda fun.   And we do a lot of walking.
 
All the missionaries' places here have running water and filters.
 
I'm not so picky with ties now. Having worn every tie like 4 times already, I've kinda given up :P
 
Hope ya'll get better! Love ya'll!! (Man what's happening to me? My companion is a big country fella. Think he's starting to wear off on me.)  Haha, Love you all.
