A message from Jonas, novitiate, French-language Union novitiate.

We are doing well in the novitiate. It is almost the end of the rains which occasioned great damages following the erosion. We are also threatened almost on daily basis by the gangsters despite the presence of the military who have replaced corrupted police officers.
