Sup Brotherz,

So this week was spankin, it's dunkgnar.  The big news mostly is the transfers--I'm only partially getting transferred.  I'm going to live in a ward that we already cover now, Lepale, and then I'm going to cover a new area as well--Leauva'a.  And then other missionaries are coming in to cover Aleisa 1st Ward and Aleisa 2nd Ward.  Leauva'a and Lepale are pretty far apart so we'll probably stay like one day in Lepale, one day in Leauva'a sort of thing.  Two cool things about both houses in Lepale and Leauva'a--Lepale is notoriously known for being haunted, and the house in Leauva'a is a legit fale o'o, meaning it is a hut with a roof made of coconut leaves and no walls.  So that's gonna be sick. 

My new companion is Elder Faitau.  I don't really know him.  I'm pretty sure he's a native Samoan--that's all I really know.  My comp now, Elder Ofisa, is getting transferred to Savaii.  In your last letter, mother, you asked me what Ofisa is like.  Ofisa is a good guy, sort of a 'fatsolardochickenliverbutthead', if you ask me.

The transfers are tomorrow, so I'll let you know next week about all the funk bones that go down.  This past week has been cool, I guess.  We still weren't able to get ahold of Fran.  I think she's been avoiding us.  Apparently she got a job in another village, so she's been busy with that.  And Fogalele left to Savaii and never came back.  So that was a huge bummer too.  We're still splitting with Elder Puipui.  That's been pretty fun.  We've been teaching a guy in his area--he's scheduled to be baptized this Saturday.  The thing is, is that his whole right arm is missing up past the elbow, so me and Puipui and Ofisa have been arguing about how you're supposed to do the baptism.  Haha, we still don't know.  I guess just say the prayer and then dunk him. 

I've been pulling more awesome pranks on Puipui this week too.  Like one day it was raining super hard and I locked him out of the car.  He was all like freaking out, "Please!, Please!!" in English with his little accent.  Haha, I was laughing so hard.  He was freaking out like he was going to die or something.  And then a few days ago, it was raining super hard when we were proselyting and Puipui had like a tiny speck of dirt on his back so I went to brush it off, forgetting that I had mud all over my hand.  Haha, I ended up leaving a big muddy hand print on his white shirt.  I was laughing so hard and then when I tried to explain it was an accident, he didn't believe me.  It was funny though. 

There's probably a ton more that I could say, but I'm not going to.  Also, our zone got in the mission newsletter this month.  Totally bones cool!  The guy on the right is one of the APs.  The rest are all the dudes in the zone.  They're actually all getting transferred.  I'm the only one left in the zone now. 

Have it dank,

Elder Beezlebub
