Final Day in Yaoundé Cameroon

Our schedule was so tight that we had only planned to spend a day and a half in Youndé. It wasn't much time to hold a zone conference, do District and Branch business and say goodbyes. To make matters tighter, African airline travel was not on our side.  Our flight to Yaoundé was again delayed. This time the Gaileys, who live close to the airport, took pity on us and  we went back to their house for our five hour wait for the plane. The plane, which flies back and forth between Yaoundé and Douala, had a flat tire in Yaoundé and they had to send a tire and crew from Douala to fix it.   They never did get the plane fixed, so we had to wait another couple of hours at the airport.  Finally they put us on a plane that made a stop in Yaoundé on its way to Paris.  What a temptation!  We eventually  made it to Yaoundé at 1 am. Again we decided to stay in a hotel, the Djeuga Palace, rather than forcing the couple to pick us up in the middle of the night. The stay, though just 24 hours, was well worth the effort.

We had another great zone conference, another happy day with missionaries, the Whitesides, and the priesthood leaders, and more great missionary goodbye hugs!

 Zone Conferences are a really wonderful event

Hard to drive away from them for the last time.  Love these guys!
